THE CEnENT QUESTION
Bids Opened in Washington Are Still
 0bjectiOnably High.

The controversy between the govern ment and the cement manufacturers respecting the supply of cement to be used in the construction Of the Tonto dam, has been moved up another notch
 The. bids have been opened and the figures named are still disappointing ly high. What the next move will b.
 must be learned from Washington for the cement men are dying hard and the government mill at the damsite may yet have to be swallowed as an anssthetic before their pain can be relieved.
 Tuesday Engineer Arthur ?. Davis received a telegram from Chief Hyd- rographer F. H. Newell saying that three cement bids had been submitted as follows: From the lola, Kansas works at S5.49 per barrel; Denver works, S4.S1 per barrel; Pacific Co works at Suisun. S5.70 per barrel all delivered at the dam site. There was
 also an informal offer to deliver ce- ment at Globe for s per barrel. Mr | Newell asks MT. Davis his advice in ; the matter.
 MT. Davis yesterday wired MT. New ell acknowledging receipt of his tele- gram and advising that all bids be re- ! iected. Mir. Davis was asked if in that
 event the government would again ask i for bids or proceed to make it's own cement. He said he was not prepared | at this time to answer that question as it was not for him to decide. Ask ed if it would be proper for a news i paper to draw the latter conclusion on i its own responsibility he said a paper could make any sort of comment on | the matter it pleased: that the fact remained that the bids submitted | called for more money by a consider able amount than the government ought to be required to pay for ce- ment. He said, it was a fact that had never been ccntroverted, that the gov | ernment could make cement at the dam, at price certainly not to ex- ceed three dollars in any event. and further that it is clearly impossible i for any other manufacturer to deliver | cement as cheap as the government 1 can make it unless it makes it at the i dam site, an alternative no manufac- | turer has as yet investigated so far as ! he knows.
 Asked if the rejection of these bids 1 would delay construction he said if
 would not for the reason that the c7- ment needed in the preliminary work
 has already been contracted for and
 the building of the government mill
 has never been stopped. If the gov
 crrment is unable to buy cement by
 the time it is needed there as yet ao-
 pears no reason why it cannot make
 it's own supply.

slider the ACCESSIBILITY OF carrying out
such a project as It is convenient TO

Offering the resolution. she river must
De bridged sooner or later. Why not
do II now? True. il would cost a heap
OF money. bat money is never lost or
wasted when you get its worth. The
merchants and shipping interests think
that IL is high time that they should
be given shorter route to the piers
and elevators on both sides Of the har-
Dor. The drive from Locust Point 10
canton and vice versa by way Of Light
Street IS long one. Too much money
is wasted. Think how much money
could be saved b. the merchants In
team hire alone. The bridge should be
opened up to all Electric cars could
be allowed to run over it as well as
teams, and plenty Of room could be
given to pedestrians. Business would
be kept downtown and the sections con-
nected would be particularly benefited. %
According 10 Mr. KOnig's view. the
only kind of bridge that would do
would be one Of the suspension order
