WERE GOOD REASONS FOR IT
why Work on Exchange Sc. sewer Was
Began So Late In Season.

Much has been said in the way of eriti-
cism regarding the beginning of the
work on the Exchange street. sewer so
late In the year that cold weather has
come to interfere more or less with the
work Of the contractor. This was put
down as being due to the slowness or The
department OF public works in making
plans for the work and advertising for
bids. AS matter of fact the work on
this sewer. so 1t is said, was purposely
began late in the fall in orders TO remove
as far az possible all danger of siok-
ness which would arise from thu OBJ
noxious odors incident to the opening of
the old sewer, and also in order that
the strset might not bs open during the
time when Portland has many visitors
When 1t was decided to begin work, the
contractor found 1t difficult to secure
proper men to do what Is called the
"Iedge'' work, as the blasting necessi-
tated on Exchange street is OF very
dangerous and delicate kind and 1t WAS
uecess-y to have only the best OF men
to do this work. The government en-
81 many Ahci WAN 0OAA
OF this kind on the civilizations about
the city that the contractor was not abs
TO secure the men he wanted until after
the government had stopped work.
One thing was pointed out by the may
or the other day in connection with this
work on Exchange street, which is q
good recommendation for the changing
OF the date Of holding the municipal
elections and making the annual appro-
pristions. "Had the appropriation for
this work been made earlier" said the
mayor, "the work could have been COM
menced in the spring as soon as the frost
was out of the ground and thus have
obviated all of the dangers and difficult
ties which have been encountered. The
municipal year ought to begin In Janu-
airy ami the appropriations made early
enough to enable the department OF
public work to plan Its work for the
spring and summer months. AS it Is now
some valuable time Is lost while the ap-
preparation bill is being considered.
