Northeast's Bid Re-advertising Set
Gov. Jimmie H. Davis and the State Bond and Building Commission moved to re-advertise for bids on furnishings for Northeast Louisiana State College’s Student Union, dormitory drapes, and a power plant building at Louisiana Tech. The commission rejected the low Hemenway bids for the Student Union as not meeting specs and called for new bids while approving a vendor meeting. They also refused extra funds for dormitory drapes due to a measurement error and urged re-advertisement. The action follows reviews by Dr. George T. Walker and remarks by state officials.
