Sidney federal building bid anticipated August 15
Contractors expect a call for bids on Sidney's new federal building of about eighty thousand dollars around August 15.

Local builders trust a Minneapolis builders publication for accurate details and anticipate local hiring for construction jobs. Postmaster I L Pindell noted no definite bid date but awaits word from Washington. The site at 9th avenue and Illinois street has long been cleared, and funds are already appropriated.
