Coal for county relief up 28 cent
The Linn county board of supervisors approved coal contracts totaling about $20,000 for winter use at the county home and relief clients in Cedar Rapids. Five firms bid. Castle brothers of Marion won the county home contract at 4.39 per ton plus sales tax, while Biddick company bid 4.40. Cedar Rapids city contracts were split among four firms at 6.15 per ton, with Cedar Rapids Fuel failing to meet specifications by offering 8 by 4 inch coal instead of 8 by 3. The board rejected the lower bid due to variance from advertised standards to ensure uniform delivery and avoid future exceptions.
