Receive A Contract
The directors of the Manheim and Penn township turnpike company met at the office of their solicitor, A. F. Hostetter, esq., to receive bids for making two and five-eighths miles of their turnpike, commencing at the northern terminus of the Lancaster and Fruitville pike, and ending at a point on the old Manheim road. There were three bids handed in: S. A. Danner, Lititz; Smith, Shaub & Co., of Lancaster, and David M. Mayer, of Manheim township. All of these were considered too high by the board and were rejected. Later in the afternoon Mr. Danner offered to make the turnpike for $10,250. He was awarded the contract.
