The state will now confirm the tentative contract entered into by Lava citizens with Contractor E. M. Chandler of this city for the completion of tho much-needed much-needed structure at the upper pool, which has always been the hot spring most favored by invalids. Work will be rushed and it is expected ex-pected that the building will be completed com-pleted within thirty days. Citizens of Lava are highly gratified to have the state take over this contract, which was entered into by them in order to avoid delays. While at Lava.
