BIDS FOR SUPPLIES.
A letter from Representative C. J.
Hemminger on Tuesday states that
Gov. Tener has signed a bill which is
of considerable importance to the
taxpayers of Somerset and other
counties having a population of less
than 150,000. The new Act provides
that the Poor Directors must adver-
tise for sealed bids for the furnishing
of all supplies where the same costs
$150. or more. It is asserted that
much money has been lost under the
old system which permits the pur-
chase of supplies without the formal-
ity of receiving bid.s The bill was
drafted by a Somerset attorney and
was introduced by Representative
Hemminger. The new law provides
a penalty of $500 or six month’s im-
prisonment.

red in the matter of anew bridge over
