BIDS REJECTED ON PIUTE RESERVOIR!) AM At a meeting Thursday afternoon tho state land board rejected all the bids on the building of the Pluto reaervolr dam In Sevier county and decided to re-advertlse re-advertlse for tenders. In all, seven bids had been received and considered, but only three wero on the complete building build-ing of tho dam. Two of these were indefinite in-definite and ono too high, and they were rejected. None of tho bldn provided for the construction con-struction of the dam by sluicing, which the board Is considering, but this had nothing to do with the rejectment of the tenders. By tho time for readvertlslng of bids It ie probable that the board will have decided which, In lt3 opinion, Is tho more advantageous way to build the dam. The reservoir project proposes to Irrigate Irri-gate 22,000 acres In Sanpete and Sevier counties.
