Bids for the three phases of construction for the proposed elementary grade school on Dawes street were approved last night by the Kennewick school board. Construction is expected to start on the project by the end of this month or by the first of December, according to plans announced today by the three winning contractors.

They include Murray Construction company of Kennewick, general construction; Randolph Plumbing and Heating of Pasco, mechanical construction, and Royal company of Kennewick, electrical construction. Can Get Funds The board accepted the bids last night after rejecting all bids on a previous occasion because 1 the total offers were too high. 1 The action last night will also qualify the local district for state matching funds. 1 The low bids were $84,895 for the mechanical work, and 924 for the general construction work. The low bid of Royal company was not resubmitted and was the original offer introduced by the firm.

Part of the expenses of the building were cut by not painting the inside of the 14-room struc.ture. The directors decided to have this chore done at a later date by regular district employees. The paring of specifications, in order to get the bids down was deemed necessary in order to get the project started as soon as possible and in order to gain state funds.

He said corps of engineers men on the scene are there only as advisers. "We have no authority to act unless the governor declares a state of emergency," he said, Meanwhile George Strickland, a representative of the corps of engineers, called an emergency meeting of the West Richland dike committee, ostensibly to lay out a disaster plan in case the flood crest should be higher than it is presently estimated.

men were busy sandbagging retaining dikes in West Richland. Engineers here said residents shouldn't become unnecessarily alarmed at this point.

Members of the ministerial association are protesting the use of the property for a liquor store. These objections have been forwarded to the governor, state liquor board and others on the local and state level.
