Z:spec': To Break Dirt
! ~.ttr:r Part of This ,
Week ? Will Push '
Work
At an adjourned meeting of the
officers and directors of the Murphy 1
Real Estate Company, In-., and J
I'revdent Richmond. of the Oak !
' ane Knitting Mills, Inc.. and C. '
F. Coulaon, architect, it was found
1 that the A. J. Peace Construction
Company was low bidder, and thi ? J
company was. therefore. awarded
tht! contract to build the build ng
for the Oak I.ane Mill-, which is to
be erected on the lot recently acquired
from Dickey and Martin on
Tonntssee street. Bidding was close
and considerable difficulty was ex- 1
perienced in determining the low- <
est bidder. The fi'-st meeing was, '
held Saturday afternoon, but ? ?
some bids were not on a parity. '
the letting had to be po tponed unI
til Monday evening as some of the '
i contractors \vore our of town and
' the required information could not
be had. Besides the Peace Construction
Company. C. M. Dicus.
! th; Cherokee Lumbcr Company, and
H. D. Barnett submitted proposals
for the crevtion of the building.
It is expected that excavating for
thi- new building will be commenced 1
i the latter part of th:? week and that
; the job will be pushed to an early
completion. Mr Peace has had
the jail construction job and, thereII
fore. has his equipmcru and men nl>
ready on the job and little difficulty
will be experienced m getting started.
Architect C. K. Coulson, of
Boston and Asheville. will act as in[
specter on the job. President Richmond
of the Oak I.ane Mills, has
returned t0 Philadelphia to fjet his
. machinery ready for moving to
t Murphy.
