Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 134, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 June 1919 — AWARDED MEAT CONTRACT. [ARTICLE]

AWARDED MEAT CONTRACT.

Ait their June session the county commissioners having advertised for । fifty pounds of roast and fifty pounds of steak for the county farm for the next quarter, awarded the contract to Roth Brothers at 26 cents for the roast and 30 cents for the steak. The Co-Operative Meat Market bid 25 cents on the roast and 30 cents for the round steak, 32 cents for the loin steak and 28 cents for the shoulder steak. The board considered Roth Brothers to be two cents lower on the steak and but one cent higher on the roast. This would make their bid 50 cents lower than that of the Co-Operative Meat market. Both bids were lower than those received three months ago.
