Board Orders Suit Against William Beck Over Bridge Sales
Kes directed County Attorney William M. Aikman to file for forfeiture of bids against contractor William Beck who handled a Monday sale of bridges. The dispute centers on whether Beck’s lump bid could be considered since each bridge was advertised separately. Beck’s separate bids won contracts previously but he refused work, prompting the board to pursue forfeiture of the bid security and Beck’s supplies. A second matter notes Clerk WA Wattage’s bond for $24,000 covering March 10 start, with commissioners expressing satisfaction after reviewing signatures and bond details.
