Road Bond Bid Thrown Out by County Officials
Bids for the $250000 county road bond issue were rejected after legal advice concluded sales at a discount would be illegal. One bid offered 245000 par value at 6 percent, another split 185000 at 6 percent and 65000 at 5 percent. An oral par bid with 6 percent and a 30 day option was also deemed outside the law. The contracting firm holding the first project contract will accept at par the 110000 par bonds the county will furnish. Federal aid will cover the county portion for the nine mile Butte Anaconda road project.
