Mr. Smiley has kept records for past tc.i years Of the living briga4 dier generals through newspapers and in other ways, having checked ofi from official lists those who have died. He said yesterday that his list might have some erorrs in it in that he might have failed to see notices of deaths of certain veterans while newspapers may have failed to carry announcements of the deaths of others.

The bid by the Newell company for the grading and other work was the lowest received by the high way department this year and is an | indication of lower prices in road j work, it is believed. The price for grading of 52 cents j ' is considered very reasonable by the " highway department.
