When completed complet-ed the campus will be one of the most up-to-date and satisfactory in the United States, Mr. Lewis said. The preliminary cost estimate for the work was set at $10,000, which, If let into contracts, would be about five in number, all below $5000, hence the board is undertaking the work Itself, It-self, Mr. Lewis said. It appears now that the field will be constructed at an outlay somewhat under the estimate, esti-mate, according to the engineer. Salt Lake.
