PRICES ON BRICK PAVINC
City Engineer Etnyre Tabulates the Bid
Sent in Thursday.
WICKHAM THE LOWEST ON ALL PLANS
Top Course VIII Decide the Cost ana
the Taxpayers Have the Choice
of which Particular Sort
Will he Put Down.
WICKHAM THE LOWEST ON ALL PLAN

A tabulation by City Engineer Etnyre
of the bids for paving opened by the city
council Wednesday night shows e. A. Wick
ham to be the lowest bidder on all classes
of brick and the contract will undoubtedly
be awarded to him at the regular meeting
of the city fathers next Monday night. The
total amount of paving ordered is in round
numbers 16,0 900 square yards and the amount
of the contract will depend on the brick
used for the top course. The choice of kind
of brick has been left by the council with
the property owners interested and who
will have to pay for the paving Should
they decide on the home product for both
top and bottom courses it will mean a saw
ing on the entire contract of about $4,000
as the cost of the paving If only Council
Bluffs brick is used will amount to some
thing like $2O,OOO while If Des Moines brick
is used for the top course it will cost some
900 more, and If Galesburg brick should
be selected as the material for the top
course it will increase the amount of the
contract about $1,000.
Wickham's bids were Des Moines brick
s1.39%; Galesburg brick, s1.57A St. Joe or
Nebraska City brick, $1.32. These prices
were for cash, with per cent added for
certificates, the bottom course in each case
TO be council Bluffs brick. His bid fol
Council Bluffs brick, both top and bottom
courses, was $1.22 for certificates, less II
per cent for cash. The cost of the paving
will have to be figured on the certificate
price as none of it it is expected will be paid
for in cash
1t may be that on all the streets ordered
paved the same material will be used al
though that will not be known until the
m npQti in nf ho ait
at which time the interested property own
ers are to state their preferences There
is quite an agitation for the use of the
home material and several of the al
dermen are strongly in favor of using Coun-
Gil Bluffs brick exclusively, provided all
things are equal Aldermen Christensen
Brough and johnson are three of the city
fathers who are most outspoken on the
matter.

Argument for Home Brick.

The champions of the home made product
point to the paving on Willow avenue
where nothing but Council Bluffs brick was
used, as an example and an argument that
the money expended on paving should be
kept at home. The paving on Willow ave-
nue. they claim is as good today as it was
when laid several years ago. They also in
sist that the Council Bluffs brick when
properly burned and laid is not as liable to
chip at the edges as the Des Moines vitrfied
brick is. That the Des Moines product is
liable to chip at the edges they assert is
demonstrated by the paving on Pearl street
with the exception of some on North
Main street it does not appear that many of
the property owners interested in the paw
ing are in favor OF using Council Bluffs
brick for the top course. 1t is admitted by
many of them that undoubtedly Just as good
brick could be made here as anywhere else
but great deal would depend on the eff
cheney of the inspectors employed by the
city. For instance, they argue that the
manufacturers of the Des Mones brick
would not risk shipping out any defective
brick for fear of having to pay the freight
both ways on it if discarded by the con-
tractor or inspector, while, on the other
hand, the local brick maker would only be
at the expense of the haul from his kilns to
the street being paved and unless the in
spector is constantly on the alert there will
be opportunities for poor brick to escape his
attention and be laid. This, however, the
local manufacturers say they will guard
against and If their product is used will
guarantee they will make and provide just
as good brick as ever came from Des
Moines, Galesburg or anywhere else.
Alderman Johnson stated yesterday when
discussing the matter that he is in favor Of
using the home material, first, last and all
the time. provided the local brick makers
will put out a brick that would equal the
foreign article.
1t is said that the majority of the prop
erty owners on Avenue +, one of the streets
ordered paved, are in favor of Des Moines
brick for the top course and will present
a peteition to that effect at the council
meeting Monday night. Several of the
property owners on Bryant street have also
expressed themselves in favor of the Des
Moines article.
