Marlin, Texas, Thursday, July 17, 1902
-----
BIDS REJECTED.

       The city council in session today rejected all the bids and proposals for the construction of the public school building.  The reason of their rejection was that none of them were within the prescribed amount of $20,000.00.  The council likewise rejected the architect's plans as a condition of their adoption was the building could be constructed $20,000.00.
