that the council and citizens may not
be deceived in the matter. we wish to
state most emphatically that the War

submit bid on any pavement other
than Warren Bitulithic pavement. or
any specifications other than the regu-
lar Bitulithic specifications.
eff the council sees fit to advertise
for bids for Warrens Bitulithic pave

city, and an injunction suit is brought

Favored by Mayor and Bridges.

Mayor Hunt urged the passage of the
resolution, stating that it was fully in
accord with his views, as for the past
year he had advocated the policy of
having competition in the matter of
awarding contracts for street paving
and that on this question he had taken
issue with the council.
Councilman Bridges favored the
resolution. stating that he had always
been in favor of competition. II want
every one given a chance to bid on the
work of improving streets and I de-
sire that bids on all kinds of paving
be submitted to the council. Price
and quality is what we want. Let the
bids be received and opened and if
they are considered too high we can
reject them and call for new bids.
Then if the paving companies do not
want to bid again the council can
adopt some other method of making
improvements. 1 myself believe that
the city should own it's own paving
plant. We can purchase the plant and
do our own work and that will put a
stop to future controversies"
Mayor Hunt agreed with Councilman
Bridges, asserting that the, councilman
had stolen his thunder in broaching
the subject of the city owning its own
paving plant.
Bids to Be Returned.
Kirkman's resolution was passed and
by unanimous consent the clerk was di-
rected to return, unopened, all bids re-
ceived for paving the streets that had
been called for before the Johnson suit
was instituted.
During the proceedings Councilman
Kirkman stated that he believed that
the council in creating the proposed
paving districts had made them too
large. He wanted to know If it was
not possible to create smaller districts.

NOT APPEAL CASE.

The city council at an adjourned ses-
sion last night passed ordinances re-
pealing two old paving ordinances and
the ordinances providing for the paw
ing of streets in improvement districts
number 20, 81, % and %.
This action was taken after the
council had listened to the reading of
the following communication from city
Attorney Blandford:
ITO the mayor and city council: The
court, in the case of Johnson VS.. the
city of Walla Walla ct al, has granted
the temporary injunction asked for
until the final hearing in said case In
view of the fact that the court made
nc finding which would inform the
council of the reasons for the granting
of said temporary injunction; that it
will take a long time to get said case
ready for trial; that the issues as pre-
scented will not be in such shape at
best to present to the supreme court
on appeal the vital questions involved
as to the power of the city especially in
the matter of laying patented pave
ment, I recommend that the council re-
peal the following ordinances and that
any further pavement be under ordin-
ances to be passed expressly for such
purpose. The ordinances to be re-
