No Word from MCGOWAN.
UP to the time the city Offices closed
Saturday no word had been received from
John MCGOWAN the contractor who is ex-
pected to set the curbIng on Missouri
avenue. The contract with MCGOWAN for
this curbing and the bond was approved
on March b. of this year. Under the con-
tract MeGowan was to commence work
within ten days after receiving notice from
the city authorities. Written notice was
not served on MCGOWAN until September
o. rms Is just ninety-six days
after the contract calls for the
completion Of the work. Since Nc
Gowan entered into the contract with
the city the wholesale price Of cement has
advanced q cents a barrel Labor is scarce
and teams are hard to get even at $3.50 per
day. The delay I'm starting the work after
the curbing and paving contracts were let
was that the case was tieG up IN the courts
and the money for the bonds, $S5, 900, could
not be secured, until the case had been de-
cided. Now that the money is on deposit
the city is paying interest on the bonds
without securing any BENEFITS. Possibly
the city council will take some action
Monday night. In case MCGOWAN does not
begin work, the contract for curbing may
be let TO someone else
