Low Figure: $47,633 JONES home, 101 West The locally famous stone mason, Shadrach Jones, built his own rock home in Willard in 1870. Jones learned the stone mason trade in Wales where he was born in 1832. He emigrated to Utah in 1854 and built many rock homes in the northern end of the state, doing much of the stone work on the Logan LDS temple. He and his wife loved to dance and at one time, turned their second floor into a dance hall for young people. Several additions have been made to the home wich is presently owned by Mr. and Mrs. Del Archibalds Bids Well Under Estimate on Fifth West Project Bids opened Thursday fell well under engineers estimate to construct a new roadway between Seventh and Eleventh South in Brigham City this year. Parson Asphalt Products company was the apparent low bidder with a figure of $47,633 to grade and surface the 3,800 foot section. Fifth West presently ends at Seventh South as an improved street. Engineer Keith Hansen's estimate for the project was $63,182 which included $1 ,600 for a railroad crossing not contained in the low bid. Second low was Fife Rock Products at $53,397.30. The only other firm in the competition, Wilkinson Construction company, Morgan, bid $55,588. The project will be financed with collector road funds received through the Utah Department of Highways and so the bids must be submitted to the state for inspection. Mayor Ole Zundel said he expects to have them back for council action within 10 days to two weeks. Delighted at Bids City officials were delighted at the low bids. It will apparently leave a healthy for next years collector road carry-ove- r project with $69,216 presently available. Mayor Zundel said he will recommend to the council that Sixth North running east from Main street be targeted as the next project and suggested that the street at the sdme time might be included in a special improvement district. Then we can pave it from curb to curb, he explained. Most of Sixth North between Main and Fifth East presently does not have curb and gutter. The mayor said he would then advise attention be directed to sixth East, another of the citys collector streets. Well use the money as far as it goes, he explained. Pay Request In other business at Thursday's city council weekly session, the city fathers approved an application for $49,000 in Class C road funds from the state. These are monies distributed to Utah cities based on license plate sales. In making the request, the council okayed specific street improvement projects on which the money will be spent.

Shadrach Jones was the builder. Earlier in 1857, the large barn was constructed by George Mason. The home was constructed of blue granite obtained from the canyon above Willard. It remained in the Mason family until purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Gardner Barlow in 1963. The Barlows reportedly are interested in preserving the home, barn and other out buildings. RICHARD JENKINS Davis home, corner First South and Second West This rock home was built in 1861 by Shadrach Jones for Richard Jenkins Davis who was born in South Wales in 1826 and came to Utah in 1853. The home housed three of his four wives. It remained in the Davis family until the mud flood of 1923.
