The Bridge Question

Tonight the City Council will receive
the report of the Bridge committee on
the question of thlrty-day extension
OF time for the completion of the Put
nam street bridge by the Pittsburg
Bridge Company. The work should
have been finished according to COM
tract, on July Is.
AS the Leader has stated before, it is
in no wise the fault of the city of Ma
rietta that the bridge is not completed.
The contract has been strictly kept by
the city, while on the other hand the
contractors have failed to comply with
its terms.
The Pittsburg Bridge Company
agreed to operate a ferry that would
accommodate the traffic between the
two sides of the river. An old worn
out ferry failed to meet the require
ments of ordinary traffic, and becom-
ing disgusted with the dilatory actions
of the contractors, business men and
private individuals raised funds to Sc
cure pontoon bridge, which for weeks
has been the only line of communca-
tion between the two sides, of the river
The old ferry line was promptly aban-
doned by the Bridge Company, and the
neat sum they saved would go we'll to-
ward paying the city damages for ov-
ertime, occording to the terms of the
contract
Now, one member of Council pro-
poses scheme that means an exten-
sionoof time for the Bridge Company
and at the same time another saving
for them and a loss to the city. He
is OF the opinion that they should be
granted an extension of 80 days, pro
vided they agree to maintain the pom
toon bridge after August l, the date
when the contract with the business
men expires. This Is simply a propo-
sition to pay the Plttsburg Bridge
Company $3.50 for doing the equivalent
OF what the contract calls upon them
TO do for nothing-the keeping up of a
satisfactory ferry system. II the
bridge is to be completed within the
30 days asked for, the pontcon would
remain in operation only two weeks
after August /, and $3.50 seems a stift
price to pay for thai length of time
when the pontoon bridge has already
been kept there for more than two
months for the sum CT only $500. Such
a scheme as that should be promptly
nipped in the bud, and the Bridge
Company called to time. They are
failing to carry out the terms of the
contract, and why should the city be
called upon to give mp its rights and
to grant a request that means loss OF
$3.50 to the taxpayers?
Public opinion is strongly in opposi-
ton to granting the request, and ev-
cry Councilman is expected by his con-
stitutents to do his duty toward them
and not in the line OF aiding a company
that has failed to carry out the terms
Of a contract

And the Bond and Contract Were
Passed, Other PROCEEDINGS Of
the Board of Education.

The most important piece of business
before the Board OF Education last
evening was the awarding of the. con-
tract for the erection and completion
OF the High School building and the
acceptance OF the bond of Mr.. Bowling,
the contractor. The first matter re-
ceived attention, but the contract was
not signed, owing to the fact that there
were no revenue stamps at hand TO
make the contract legal and binding
one.
The contract stipulates that the
building must be bullt according to the
plans and specifications prepared by
the w. B. O'Neill Co., architects, and
must be completed by the 18th of April
1901. I.5[l
Payments are to be made by the
Board upon monthly estimates OF the
work done by the contractor and ap-
proved by the superintendent of con-
struction, and in each case 10 per
cent CT the estimate is to be retained
until the building is completed and
accepted by the Board. Payment in
full to be made Is days after the COM
pletion of the building, the cost of
which is to be s39,9S9.
AS there were no revenue stamps in
the crowd the signing of the contract
and bond was left to the President and
Clerk of the Board.
The contract with the W. b.
O'Nelll Co. for experimenting the
construction OF the building was pass
ed for the same reason as the above.
The amount is to be per cent of the
contract price of the building.
A committee was appointed to close
the deal for a triangular piece of
ground on Pike stree; as an addition to
the present school lot there.
The w. B. ONeill Co. was employed
to prepare plans for closet there to
conform to the regulations of the
Board of Health.
Clerk Meisenhelder read the report
as submitted by him to County Audi
tor Patterson. relating to the enumer-
alton in Marietta school district. The
number reported was 1896, an increase
of 359 over last veal.
Clerk Meisenhelder also reported on
tuition received from pupils outside the
district.
DR.. C. II. Robbins was present and
spoke of his work on the Century Re
view Of Marietta" now being prepared
by him. He submitted a proposition
to furnish the Board 100 copies of the
work, with four pages of reading mat
ter on the public schools OF the city
and with cuts of at least six buildings
for the sum of $50. The offer was af-
terward cut to $50. The matter was
referred to the con mittee on Text

A REMARKABLY SMALL, LIST.

The Register has heretofore called
attention to the exceedingly small
number of negroes listed for taxation
upon the returns of the assessors of this
county. Only sixty-two names are so
enrolled, while 1T is well known that
there are three times that many in Clay
district alone, and a very considerable
number In Washington, to say nothing
of others scattered all over the county,
from Madison to Triadelphia. Not less
than two hundred and fifty to three
hundred negroes will be run up to the
polls on election day in Ohio county,
with the claim that they are lawful citi-
zens and entitled to cast a ballot, and
yet their names will be looked for in
vain on the list of tithables.
There is something wrong about this,
somewhere. They should be listed for
taxation, or some good and sufficient
reason given for their omission from
the list. 1t looks very much as though
the colored man wal very largely left
off the tax lists by Republican officials
as a means of saving him a dollar and
thus placing him under some additional
obligations to vote the Republican
ticket in return. This may not be the
real reason for the failure to list these
people, but there is something wrong.
On second thought, it may be that the
fewer negroes listed, the easier it will
be to ring in importations on election
day. The matter requires a little study
and investigation. Democratic Com
mitteemen, politicians, candidates and
election officers should watch a little
out.
