ROSSLAND, BRITISH ICORUMBIA, SATURDAYS JULY, COST HAS BEEN CUT DOWN Prige Bid Was $13,157—Comont and Concrete Cut Out—Briok and Stone Basoment- Walls Omitted—City to Build the Sewer—Bylaws Not te Be Printed. The contract for the erection of the fire hall wns let by the city council at a special meeting this morning to John Dunlop, the-price being $13,157... It was decided to have the sewer along First avenue to Washington street built by the city workmen under’ thé direction of the city engineer. The changes in the plans for the. fire hall have cut down the cost about $600. From the basement, the proposed concrete cement floor, the brick partitions and the stone retaining wall, which was to have divided the excavated from the un- excavated parts, are ‘all omitted. The floor will be left unfinished and wooden beams will take the place of the stone wall. The vitrified | brick ona which was to have been Inid in the | horse stalls is to be omitted and in its place will be 2}4-inch tonoued and grooved lumber with pitched joints. The cost of excavation was cut down to $950 by the omission of part of it. : Tenders for the extension of the fire alarm system were presented by Alderman McRae, but were refer- red back for tabulation. Tenders for printing and binding the public general bylaws were opened and action was indefinitely postponed, as they were all too high. -The lowest for 100‘ copies was $305, which was more than the funds available. ‘Furs renovated and repaired by Lougheed, who has.secured the ser- vices of an expert furrier. t MINOK MENTION 1, W.
