WELL KNOWN
CONTRACTOR
MISSING

The family and friends of Contractor
Timothy r. Lyons. who is engaged in
constructing the Narragansett avenue
sewer for the city. are much concerned
over his absence from home during the
past week and diligence fsearch has
brought no clue TO his whereabouts.
The city contract is partly finished, but
city officials know OF no reason why he
should leave town in that connection, for
his work in connection with the 100000
or more contracts he has completed has
been eminently satisfactory and he has
always been highly regarded
His wife and four children reside on
Willard avenue and as HIS family rela-
tions have always been OF the pleasanest
they hope he will come home 10 them
soon. Meanwhile arrangements for pay
ing the men and carrying on the work as
far as possible have been made by tho
family.
Even should he not finish the work the
city need not worry. II is said for there
were several bids for the job very near
the same figure, and IL is considered like
ly that the work may be done without
any increase on the original estimate
Worrying over certain bills may have
preyed on his nerves enough TO cause
him 10 wander away from home. 1t is
feared.

C0NLEY GOT
CITY ASHES
CONTRACT

Today the contract for the removal OF
the ashes from the public buildings, such
as school houses and fire stations, reached
the mayors Office for signature. Pat
rick Conley Of 137 Linwood avenue being
the man TO whom 1t was awarded for
s2375 for one year.
The contract was made out on the 3lst
Of July. bzut runs from July 1st of this
year TO July 1st Of next year. indicating
that work commenced at the former date.
Henry u. Hathaway has had the con-
tract since 1909. when he did the work
for s1s25 and in 1903 IL was s2S25.
There is no advertising for bids for this
work, the superintendent OF public build
ings or the city property committee ask
ing contractors 10 make bids. Hatha-
ways bid this year was s2675 according
to the report submitted to the mayor.
An official connected with the depart
ment was asked by a News man why this
work was not advertised and bidding re-
ceived rs In other cases, and he said that
IL was not considered best. "Why, people
bid for the work that do not own teams
and they bid cheaper than they can pos
sibly do the work for"
The Job is considerable one ond for
the past years has amounted to some
thing like 10000 cans OF ashes.
This work has TO he done regularly on
account OF the limited storage capacity
OF the buildings and a clause in the con-
tract allows the city property committee
10 have the work done by outside parties
in-case there is a slip UP on the part of
the contractors.
