Now that the street department is

rather stormy meeting of the committee
ensued and Councilman Nickel, find
ing that his bluff could not be made to
work, consented to the report of Price
IL Son being received and 1t was tele-
graphed for accordingly.
The inquiry naturally arises as to why
Mr.. Nickel should have taken such *
traordinary means to suppress the re-
port of an Independent and honorable
firm. What is Mr.. Nickell's interest in
the matter outside of his duty to the city
as a paid councilman? The principal
contractors who are responsible for the
work have expressed their confidence
in the fact that the specifications have
been complied with, and they can have
no motive In attempting to influence Mr..
Nickel, seeing that should the surface
ing of the street be refused acceptance
they have recourse upon their sub-con
tractors who actually did the work. But
this does not explain why Mr.. Nickel
ordered the analysis stopped. Meanwhile
the inquiry has been adjourned for an
other week"
WHAT MR.. NICKELL SAYS
Councilman Nickel was seen by
Herald reporter last evening, and in
reference to the above statments said
that there had been some discussion be-
fore the special committee having the
matter in charge after the samples had
been sent to San Francisco for anaiy-
sis. 1t had been charged by the Mair
street contractors that Price & Son were
the chemists, If not the agents of a rival
asphalt company, and that If the anal
yses were made by them they were LA
BILE to get the worst of it. On this state
ment the city engineer had been in
structed to notify Price & Son to sus-
pend operations until further orders.
Later the committee decided that as
that firm had already commenced the
work ii was best to let them conclude
it, and Mr.. Dockweiler had been instruct
ed to notify them to go ahead. This
was all there was to the case. AS for
himself he had no personal interest in
the matter, and the fact that the report
had been promptly received on time
showed that there had been no unneces-
sary delay.
WILL MEET TODAY
The special committee will probably
meet today to prepare it's report to be
presented to the council Monday, and
an interesting session is anticipated. II
was reported that the Main street con-
tractors, in anticipation of an unfavor-
able report by the San Francisco chem
lists have fortified themselves with sew
eral analyses made by local chemists,
which puts their material in very
different light from that in which it
stands by the San Francisco analysis,
and a vigorous fight will be made not
only before the committee but before
the council.
