Offers Varied From. $136,382 to $178,-366 and the Board of Education

Has Only the Sum of $125,-000 Appropriated,

It will cost the taxpayers of this school district at least $30,000 because they turned down the proposition to erect a new school building a year ago and waited until now, for that is the difference in the price of materials and labor between last' year and this yea?, •,

The board of education had adver­tised for bids on the construction of j the new high school building, to be, opened Tuesday evening, and there; were several contractors present and the total of the bids varied from $136,382 to $178,366,. while the avam-able funds for the purpose are $125,-OOfl. . • i

The complete job consists of four leontracts, the general contract for the building, the heating job, the plumb-teg job asd- the electrical wojrk. i There were four bids on the general contract, es follows: Jenks & Deline,; of Watertown, 8132,756; E. I. Bailey, J Of Brockton, N. Y., $103,500; The; Seftaaf Co., of Buffalo, $121,860; Shamokin Lumber & Manufacturing Company, of Shamokin, Pa., $104,511.

The two bids on tjhe electrical work 'frere: Prior & SalMda Co.,1 of Wil-< liamsport, Pa., $5,850; Buffalo Electric (Contracting Co., $6,800.

Therewiere two bids on the plumb­ing work, &s follows? Shamokin Lum­ber & Manufacturing Co., $11,700; B;enry J. Wood & Co., Buffalo, $11,-0)46. ^ ! 'Two bia's1 Were rgpe|ived on ttie heat­

All the bids were rejected except that of E. J. Bailey and Shamokin Lumber & Manufacturing Co, on the general contract There were a few changes of minor detail suggested in thje plans and when jthese are made these two concerns wjill submit revis­ed bids for the consideration of the board. The building cannot be com­pleted within, the present apnropria-tidn and it is possible: thait a contract wwl be let for as much of itbe work as thfe $123,000 will pay fop and then the district will; be asked to ifarnisfo-the balance Tfte architect helievectbat a contract for the complet^Twoft can be let for $1140,000. ,
