LATE GOV. SHEPHERD
GURLEY MEMORIAL CHURCH
WANTS TO TAKE PART.
A Letter to the Commissioners Stating
the Reasons-Former Associates to
Meet-Memorial Fund. .

Charles H. Merwin of 917 Westminster
street, clerk of the session of the Gurley
Memorial Presbyterian Church, has written
to Commiss oner mcfarland stating that
the members of the church would feel
grateful If they could take some part in the
funeral services to be held over the remains
of the late Gov. Alexander r. Shepherd,
who was a benefactor of the congregation.
THE Gurley Memorial Presbyterian
Church sprang from a Sunday school or
ganzed by members of the New York Ave-
nue. Church. writes Mr.. Merwin. Some
time after the organization of the school
the late Gov. Alexander r. Shepherd, who
| was connected with the New York Avenue
Church, visited the school and found it
located In very unsatisfactory quarters He
erected and donated a frame chapel for its
use, situated at the corner of Florida and
Brightwood avenues. Later he gave the lot
on Florida avenue on which the audience
room of the present building was erected in
1850. 1t would be gratifying to the men,
bers of the Gurley Church if, in connection
with the approaching services to be held
over the remains of Gov. Shepherd. they
can IN some suitable way show respect to
one who was such a generous benefactor of
their church"
The letter will be forwarded by Commits
sioner Mcfarland to Chairman Mattingly
OF the committee on arrangements.

DISAGREE OVER SITE
FOR A NEW SCHOOL
First Warders Propose Another Loca
ton for the Building.

Mayor Smith and President Holman,
of the school board, yesterday discuss
ed the purchase of a site for the new
school building in the First ward.
The school board has gone on record
as favoring the purchase of ten lots, at
Payne avenue and Rose street, but 1t
appears there has been an objection
nled with the mayor as to the selection
of this site.
Among other objections made, one is
that the site is too small and that
Payne avenue is a business street and
tn property is too valuable to be used
for school purposes
The ten lots which the board selected
are on the northeast corner of PAYNE
avenue and Rose street, and can be sG-
cured for $4,000.
Another site which is strongly rec
commended by some of the residents of
the ward is about two blocks away and
the selling price is $4,000
Members of the school board who
were unanimous in the selection of the
1880 tract say that the $500 differ
ence In the price is a very important
one, coming just at the time when the
board wants to use all the money avail
able for the erection of new buildings.
Supt. Gerlach Informed the board. at
the time 1t recommended the purchase
Of the lots at Payne avenue and Rose
street that about $3.50 could be saved
In the cost Of excavation by purchasing
this site, as at least that amount of
work had been done at some previous
time in making an excavation on the
site.
President Holman stated last even
Ing that while he and Mayor Smith had
discussed the purchase of a site MOTH
Ing definite had been decided upon.

ASPHALT COMBINE is
TURNED DOWN
BY BOARD
Bids for Paving Exchange
Street Rejected Because
Members Think Companies
Are Asking Too Much
Recent Lew Prices Are Out
of Sight.

Confident that the asphalt combine
was playing horse with them, the
members of the board of public works
yesterday afternoon rejected a bid of
S2.e5 per square yard for paving Ex-
change street, from Third to Cedar
streets, and instructed the clerk to adj
Vert1se for new proposals.
Monday, when the bids were opened
for the paving of Central avenue, the
contract was captured by the Barber
asphalt Paving company, a price Of
S1.SS per square yard being made. Yes
terday, when the bids were opened for
Exchange street, the r. F. Conway
company was found to be the lowest,
the figure, however, having crept up
TO $2.06 per square yard. This was too
much for the board to swallow, and
without delay all bids were rejected.
The estimate of City Engineer Rund-
lett for the work was S19,164, and the
bid of the r. F. Conway company, the
lowest, was $20,491. The Barber AS
phalt company asked $20,5S4 for the
work.
Until the low bid of $1.S5 by the Bar
Der company several weeks ago, a fig
ure OF 81 a square yard was consid-
cred a bargain, and because of this
fact there was some adverse criticism
yesterday of the action of the board.
Commissioner Murphy advised the
re1ectlon or the bid of the Conway
company, and he explained his position
by saying that he believed a better
figure could be obtained. Both of these
bids, he informed the other members,
were above the city engineers esti-
mate, and, while the figures might be
low, yet the general public might not
view it in that light
The inference from the bids of yes
terday and the day previous is that an
asphalt combine exists, and the MEM
bers Of the board are adverse to award
ing any contracts under the circum-
stances.
All estimates made of late by City
Engineer Rundlett have been based on
previous extremely low bids rather
than on what the work is actually
worth, and this has caused the board
to request Mr.. Rundlett to revise some
Of his. figures. He admits that the
rate for University avenue is probably
too low and will look over the figures
again.
