BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS MEETS
TO PASS ON THEM.
Contracts For Pipe Line and Water
works Supplies Awarded Others
to Come Later.

With the consideration of bids for
the extension of water mains and sewer
laterals, and ordering notices published
for proposals for furnishing fire hose
and water meters, the board of public
works had an unusually busy meeting
last evening. Besides, two contracts
were awarded.
Only one bidder, Keifer & Rush, Of
fered TO construct the vitrifed pipe
line across the university grounds from
Parlev's conduit to the irrigating
fumes at the intersection of Second
South and Thirteenth East streets. The
figures named in the bid were within
the estimate Of the city engineer and
the contract was awarded, subject,
however, to the approval of the city
council. The task Of computing the
prices and quantities to write in the
contract was referred to the city engi-
neer.
Since Saturdays meeting computa-
tons were made showing tnat p j.
Moran was the lowest bidder for fur
nishing d lot of hydrants, valves end
fittings for repairing the WaterwOFks
system. The total contract price was
S2.S1905, but in order TO keep within
the allowance of $500 made by the
council, the items of crosses and tees
were stricken out.
Bids from ?. j. Moran and D. Midg
ley & Co. were opened for the work of
constructing all the water pipe extern
siOns Until the end of this year Two
proposals were also received, one from
A. G. Giauque and Parry & Swenson,
for constructing all sewer laterals I'M
til Jan. / next. An abstract of the
bids not having been prepared, the
award of contracts was deferred till
next Friday evening.
The board fixed May rs for opening
bids for 5000 feet of standard fire hose
and fourteen miles of special copper
wire for the fire alarm service. June l
was named as the time for opening bids
for 407 water meters. varying in size
from ftve-eighths of an inch to three
inches.
Green & Reeve company, contractor
for the constructed of the water pipe
from Parley's conduit to All HaUOws
college new grounds, asked for an ex-
tension of twelve days beyond the limit
to complete the work, for the reason
that changes in the line and. other de-
lays not chargeable to the contractor
would necessarily prolong the compile
ton of the work. Inasmuch as Engineer
Kelsey was not present to explain what
the board wanted to know, action on
the contractors request was deferred
till the next meeting.

Duluth, Mimi, May 1t.-Charles A.
Towne TO-DAY made the following state
ment with reference to his nomination
Cor the vice presidency by the Sioux
Falls convention:
1T was my judgment that the Sioux
Falls convention should appoint a con
ference committee to meet with a sim
liar committee of Democrats and sill
yer Republicans at Kansas City July
4 for the purpose OF jointly considering
the vice presidential nomination. This
opinion was freely communicated to
prominent members CT the convention
before II assembled, and while in ses-
sion In the exercise of its discretion,
however, 1t decided differently.
When the conclusion was reached
to nominate candidate, the Unanimity
and enthusiasm with which the con-
Vention named me is, OF course. ex-
ceedingly gratifying 1t must be re-
membered that many of the strongest
men IN this country were members of
the convention, which was composed OF
wise and conservative majority Of

the great cause ia when all the reform
forces are enlisted, nobody can ques-

Appreciates the Compliment.

The endorsement OF such a body is
a high compliment, and L deeply ap-
preclate ii. Moreover, il sets an eX-
ample OF unselhshness at this Juncture
that ought not to be without good in
huence. Neither Mr.. Bryan nor myself
belong to the Peoples party. To be
sure such a consideration may seem
unimDortant when men are engaged
IN a great contest against the same
evil tendencies in the government, but
mere names are still somewhat power
fuI in influencing political conduct, and
we must render all praise to the con-
vention which thought only of theprin-
ciples at stake.
Harmony and cooperation are es-
sential this year among the Demo-
cratic. the PEOPLES and the silver Re
publican parties. To preserve their
combined strength Of 1896 is the first
desideratum. The next is to get into
the camp Of those who then opposed Us
and get recruits. If the nominations a.

try with all the reform parties behind
them, they VIII. in my opinion. BE rati-

LESTER SMITH FOR ASSESSOR.

A Friend Gives Reasons For His
Nomination Next Saturday.
To the Editor OF the Intelligencer.
SIR: - Some reasons why Lester
Smith should receive favorable consld-
Grafton at the coming Republican pri-
mary election:
First-He is competent, and in every
way qualified to I'LL the position.
Second-No man ever asked the sup
port of his fellow Republicans who is
more deserving from a party stand
point than Lester Smith. He has
worked in season and out OF season
for the success OF the Republican par
ty and all of its candidates for the
last twenty years, without reward.
Thlrd-He is working man, and has
worked all his life for other people
by the day. He was in the employ
OF the Wheeling & Elm Grove Rail-
way Company for more than twenty
years, and working men will support
one of their own when they know him
to be competent and worthy. Lester
Smith is both.
Fourth-And II ever there has been
time When II was oppuFtuue Auu 10
the interest OF the Republican party to
nominate a new man, and say. well
done. good and faithful servant. you
have done well. come up higher" Sat
urday. April 2S. Is the time. and Les
ter Smith is the man, and II nominated
he will surely be elected, and II elected
the people will find that the office viii
be filled with ability and discretion.
