CITY WILL EMPLOY EXPERTS
TO REPORT ON SEWER SYSTEM
1t is Alleged if Favorable Report is Made the
City Will Be Enjoined from Ac.
cepting the Sewer

The city council met last evening in
adjourned session and transacted much
business. There was considerable dis
cussion between the mayor and the
members Of the council over the matter
OF the expense OF the sewer investiga-
ton. A bill was presented by Stenog-
rapher Eastwood for 3129 for tran
scribing the evidence Of the Investigate
ing committee. 1t was proposed to pay
this sum from the sewer fund but GER
tain members of the council objected
contending that it was a heavy taxa
ton on the people In the sewer district.
After much argument the bill was
finally allowed from the general fund.
The sewer committee did not make
their report last evening on the Normal
Hill sewer system preferring to wait
until they could secure the services of
Expert Roberts of Pullman and a Mr..
Miller of Portland who would be asked
to give expert opinion on the stability

MORE CHANGES
were MADE
Charges that Another Contract
was Changed After the
Original Bids were Filed

A communication received today
from a taxpayer shows that the speci-
fications were changed on another city
contract just completed and the writer
suggests that the practice is becoming
contagious. Below is the latter in full:
Editor Teller-The great and all abb
sorbing question before the people is,
who changed the specifications" This
question in the past has applied to the
sewer contract alone, but now we will
apply it to another contract let subse-
Quent to that. to show that the disease
has become contagious. Some three
months ago the city advertised for bids
to build a retaining wall on Prospect
avenue. the specifications on which the
bids were figured and based is as fol-
lows:
"Toundations-Excav shall be
made to such depth as will assure a
firm foundation to the satisfaction of
the engineer.
bids for this work shall include all
excavations. stone. lime, cement cop
ing stone and everything to make the
wall complete in every particular with
out additional cost to the city"
Now an examination of specifications
attached to the contract between the
city and the successful bidder Mr..
Stone. we find the above specification
to be changed" to read as follows:
THAT in consideration of the said
party of the second part constructing
said wall and making said filing the
said party OF the first part agrees to
pay therefor the sum of 1910 per perch
for the construction of said WALL $40
for the excavation for the ends of said
wall and 10 cents per cubic yard for all
dirt handled by means of scraper and
80 cents per cubic yard for all dirt
handled by wagon"
The specification for the construction
of the wall on which bids were based
provided that all the work required for
the complete construction of the wall
| including all excavations were to be
the basis on which bids were made, 1t
must be complete in every particular
without additional cost to the city.
We find in the changed" specifica-
lions that some one who" has found
| it advisable in the interest of the city
no doubt, to add the sum of $40 for the
building of the wall. over and above
the amount called for in the original
specifications on which all the unsuc-
cessful bidders based their estimates

BASEBALL At COTTONWOOD
Team May be Organized This Season
to Play Lewiston and Moscow

1t may be trifle early yet but it will
do no harm to talk a little baseball.
1t will take some time to get our team
together, If we intend to have one this
year, and by the time the ground is in
good shape the team should be ready
to practice. Cottonwood had good
team last year and was proud Of the
victories it won but she can have a
better one this year if each one does
his share. A town as far inland as this
should encourage al lsuch sources of
amusement. few enough at most, and
by so doing attract the attention of
the public as well as provide enjoy
ment for it's inhabitants. says the Cot
tonwood Chronicle. With a good team
this year we could challenge such
towns as Lewiston and Moscow and
games Of this kind would attract more
people to town than Fourth of July
celebration. Why not form stock
company to further the proposition
Think it over and don't turn il down
without consideration.
