CITY FURNISHED STONE.
Simmons & Bros Contract for the Repay
Ing of Market Street Amended.

simmons q Bros Contract for the Repay
Ing of Market Street Amended.
Simmons & Bro. have about completed
paving of Market street from Sixth to
Eleventh. This contract as awarded
was that the firm should furnish all
the material for the foundation and do
the paving, the contract price being 56
cents a square yard. The total area is
in the neighborhood of $500 square
yards. Other bidders for the work
were Davis & Bro, who bid 90 and 60
cents, and the A. S. Reed a. Bro. c.,
631a and 701a cents.
Before Simmons & Bro. went to
work, the contract was amended 1t
is explained that the city had guam
tity of stone taken from sewer bitches,
and so instead of Simmons g. Bro.
buying the stone, the city crushed this
stone ana furnished it for the concrete
foundation, making reduction from
the contract Elice Of seven cents. A
cubic yard Of stone used in the founda-
tion foI the paving would cover pos
sibly 20 square yards. On the basis OF
the reduction of seven cents in the
price now paid Simmons d Bro, the
stone is said to stand at about 81. II a
cubic yard.

change in the bid was favorable to the
city or to Simmons & Bro. At the
office of the Street and Sewer Depart
ment Friday, it was asserted that the
benefit to the city was about seven
cents square yard. Such stone as
that furnished by the city might cost,
it was said, anywhere from 10 cents tc
sl.1s cubic yard, according to tbs
| distance carried.
