The lowest bid, $694,000 from Singleton Construction Co., Eureka, was $29,000 over the architect's estimate.

Civic groups have been split on the building material, with the Humbolt County Citizens' Public Expenditure Committee favoring wood,'and the Eureka C. of C. urging a go-ahead on the bids received. The Public Exoenditure group is composed mainly of members of the locil lumber industry.
