CONTRACT AwARDED.-At its Thursday
evening session last week, the city council
awarded the contract for paving the street
along ten blocks of Second and Madison
streets. The bids considered were male by
Haines & Buck, of Albany, $6,54l; NJ. w.
Wilkins, of Corvallis, $6,676; E. J. McKosl
ter, of Salem, $6,5e2; Al. Sinons, of En-:
gene, $3.50. The bid of Haines & Buck
was accepted and their bonds placed at $500.
J. G.. Kelley, of Eugene, ives appointed en-
gineer and superintendent of the improves
ments on these streets, and will receive five
per cent: of the amount of the CONTRACT, as
compensation. At the same meeting the
committee on streets was instructed I'd
consider the best methol Is os constructing
crosswalks, and receive specifications as to
the differeIt kinds of material to be used.
1t appears 60 us that it would be the most
economical plan to put in substantial stone
crosswalks while it is being doue. They,
wouli cost; possibly, double the amount Of
wooden ones, but since they would not re.
quire renewing or repairing they would, il
the end prove the cheaper. 1t occurs to u.s.,
too, that the bonds of $500 on contract Of
more than S6. 500 is pretty small.

OUR FIRE PROTECTION.

A great deal has been said one way and
| another for sometime past concerning the
efficiency or lack OF efficiency of our water
service for protection against fire. The
water company has constantly protested
that the service was fully adequate to all
upon it. On the other hand a large number
of our citizens complain. and cite instances
to support their complaint; that the water
pressure is never as good as it should be, and
on several occasions when good pressure
was needed it failed entirely.
To fully decide this question a committee
from the city council made number of
tests this week to ascertain Just the exact
pressure given. That all may see just what
the result was we present it below Tests
were made with pressure from tanks with
one-inch nozzle and afterwards with three
foerths inch nozzle and then with steam
pressure with one and oDe-ei hit inch nozzle:

To the Mayor and COMMON Council of tile
City of Corvallis:-
GENTLEMEN: Your fire and water commit.
tee, having examined the cisterns and hy-
drants; and having taken Measurements of
the water supply afforded by said apparatus,
as directed by your honotable body; beg to
report as follows:
Upon examination we find that the seven
cisterhs. with one exception, were full of
water. Tie cistern on Fifth and Monroe
streets being full of water and the supply
valve out of order:
None of tho cistefns have Fl .ie"- surply
of water. Those on the crossings Of Seventh
and Jefferson and Second and Madison
streets having s-inch valves; and in no case
is the valve as lafge as the supply pipe:
We are informed that these valves are
the property Of the city; and would suggest
that the council take Immediate steps to
supply each cistern With q valve as large as
the supply pipe.
We would further recommend that the
street committee be directed to have gravel
placed around the cisterns where needed for
their better protection FROM heavily loaded
wagons.
We made tests Of the water supply af.
forded by fire hydrants, as follows:
Tested 8 hydrants with 100 feet of hose
and finch 'rzzie.

We would also recommend that ths chief

company to make the taps on the hydrant
at First and Jackson streets to conform to
those on other hydrants. This being larger
than the others the wrenches will not turn

THE PENSION OFFICE.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Mr. Lind of Min
nesota, on behalf OF the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the administration
of the pension office, today submitted the
views Of the minority to the house. The
report finds nothing for which the COM
missioner can be criticised, unless it be
that he appointed his son appointment
clerk of the bureau. 1t agrees with the
majority in the suggestion In regard to the
misuse by the members OF congress of the
so-called congressional privileges"
The report asserts that the majority
seemed determined to fasten crime and
corruption upon the commissioner. but
having utterly failed to do SO by evidence
they at last attempted to do so by infer
ence. The report, after paying glowing
tribute to the efficiency of the manage
ment and of the business methods and re-
forms perfected in the pension office under
Commissioner Raum, states that while
the minority concur in some of the recon-
mendations of the majority, there are
others they might have consented to in
a modified form. if the minority had had
an opportunity for a comparison of views
with the majority before their report
found its way into the public press. The
report of the minority recommends, in
lieu OF the resolution adopted by the MAJ
jority. substitute 10 the effect that the
record in this case, as reported by the COM
mittee, shows an efficient and economical
ad ADMINISTRATION of the business of the pen
sion office by the present commissioner,
and asks that the committee be dis
charged from further investigation of the
subject.
