Bid Under Estimate Pleases Council
A bid of 15 403 50 from Southern California Roads Co for District 7 paving was opened and sent to the city engineer and attorney for review. The council planned to buy District 7 bonds from the sinking fund to boost interest returns and gain a discount from the paving firm, noting the bid was about 3 000 under the engineer’s estimate and district prices seemed reasonable. In a separate case, authorities indicated a young woman was murdered near a ravine on an Apache Reservation trail after an apparent assault by a local Indian guide, with evidence found including a flashlight a blue beret and bead bag. The investigation involves U S Deputy District Attorney Wheeler County Attorney McCauley and Sheriff Diverbess of Navajo County.
