BRICK CONTRACT is
FREE FIGHT FOR ALL
Council Now Has to Make Selection
of New Contractor-Day Spent
in Debate

Efforts of the members of the coun-
Gil 10 reach an arrangement concern
ing the purchase of sewer brick ended
in failure yesterday, and an adjourn
meht was taken until ten o'clock this
mtrning. 1t was expected that a
meeting of the council would have
been held during the afternoon and an
agreement reached, but this could not
be accomplished.
i Members of the sewer committee, the
tlty attorney and the city engineer
wrestled with half score of brick
men all the afternoon. All sorts of
propositions and compromises were
offered and as often rejected.
The officials and brick men held a
session in the council chamber, then
I they adjourned to the office of the city
attorney, and finally went out in the
lobby of the hall and talked there. 1t
was of no use. however: all localities
were alike failures in producing sat-
isfactory results.
1t was stated that the agreement
reached between the city and the
]
which the council must ratify before
II Is legal, does not enter into the
PRESENT discussion. 1t is expected
that the agreement will be ratified
without debate.
The subject that is agtating the Of
fciils now is the letting of a brand
new brick contract. Several offers Of
brhk have been made. There is q
vile divergence in price, but this Is
not always sure guide as relative
fright rates and hauling charges from
tie various yards must be taken into
Consideration.
THE brick men were armed with
maps and figures calculated to show
the advantages of their several Of
fers. Several attorneys were present
representing brick interests. The coun-
Gil will tackle the subject again this
morning.

Brief Sketch OF

For several years past Mr..
|ODay has been the general sup
erintendent of pipe lines in North
western Ohio and Indiana and the
new fields west of the Mississippi.
He was thoroughly equipped in
every way for these responsible
duties and stood in the very front
of the second generation Of the
pipe line men connected with the
petroleum industry. He was a
man of keen and alert intellect
and his business abilities were OF
the very highest order. No mat
ter in what direction he might
have turned his talents, he was
certain to have achieved success.
He was prompt, accurate, and re-
liable in everything he undertook
to perform. Of naturally stud
ious disposition, he took a great
interest in everything pertaining
to educational matters, and in his
demise Lima loses one Of its most
progressive citizens, while the oil
industry suffers the loss of one
who has accomplished great re-
suits in promoting the storage and
transportation of this great and
growing product of the country.
"Mr O'Day was hard worker,
endowed with the ambition to do
the work that lay nearest to him
earnestly and well. A large circle
of friends and acquaintances will
regret his early demise and ex-
tend their sincere coincidence to
his family and relatives in their
great bereavement.

izing their conditions would be
materially bettered.
The fourth new inmate of the
home is Alta Weekly, fourteen
years old, whom the humane Off
GERS found living with people in
this city of questionable repu-
tation. and was so informed by
the police. They also state that
her parents were sent away from
this city by the authorities and
are now living in New Martins
vile.
Mr.. Burch was surprised when
in company with an officer he Wis
tied and viewed the wretched con-
dition of some of the resorts in
this city. where girls of tender
years are forced into degradation
and shame. 1t is likely that there
will be some more subjects taken
from here by the humane society
in the near future.

The following article in regard
to the death and career of the
late Daniel O'Day, is taken from
the Oil City, (Pa.) Derrick
Daniel J. O'Day, who died at
Lima, Ohio, Sunday morning, at
the age of 4S years, was man of
remarkable talents and abilities
and of the most delightful per-
sonal characteristics. He had
been connected with the oil in
dustry since his youth and may be
truthfully said to have been raised
in the business. He was an oil
buyer at Edenburg in 1876, and
a few years later was connected
with the shipping interests at Oil
City. He went to Olean in the
early days of the Bradford oil
fields, where he supervised the
construction Of tankage and had
charge Of the oil received from
the great oil sections of Mexican
county. Later on he performed a
similar work in the Allegheny, n.
Y, oil districts. In 1886 he took
charge of the pipe lines of the
NacSShurr oil field in Southeast
ern Ohio, and afterwards became
superintendent of the Buckeye
Pipe Line Co.. and its connecting
interests in the oil sections of
Northwestern Ohio and Indiana.
When the Prairie Oil and Gas Co.,
of Kansas, was organized he be-
came manager of the pipe line
department and has had it in
charge ever since.
