City Council Fails to Award Street Work Bid
The city council, lacking a quorum, opened and tabulated four bids for street work on 17th Street 21st Avenue and nearby alleys. Orange City firm Russell's Ready Mix bid 176 348.50 but lacked a formal signature, so exclude. A legal opinion may determine the winning bidder between Northern Paving Ida Grove and Iowa Road Builders Des Moines.

Sioux County road crews press for $2 wage hike
Sixty-eight road crew members at Sioux County meet with the board of supervisors requesting a $2.00 hourly increase effective July 1. The county would face about 160000 dollars if approved. The 41 road employees now earn 3.95 per hour, with foremen at 4.95. The proposal would raise rates to 5.95 and 6.95, with retroactive pay hoped if settled. Vacation leave improvements are also sought, from two to five weeks based on tenure.
