NEES AND SEAMAN TO BUILD STREET

Pavement to Be of Brick Set in Concrete and to Be Completed by July First. The city council met in adjourned session Friday night and decided on brick set in concrete, with ce-' ment filler for the Wahington street improvement. The contract was let to Nees & Seaman, of Frankfort, Ind., whose bid was $1.69 per square •yard, Wabash brick to be used. The same firm was given the contract for the cement curbing at 27y 2 cents per lineal foot. The price made by this firm was considerably better than the other bidders, as was shown when all the bids were published in this paper recently. The pavement will differ from the brick on three sides of the court house, which is set in a bed of sand filler. Washington street will be of brick set in concrete and cement between the bricks. The contractors have until next July to complete the work. They will not start it until spring.
