Bituminous macadam on crushed
rock base, $25,453
Warren Construction company
Warren's bitulithic pavement, ......
$24,55S.70
Asphalt, ................. $27, 1925

Attorney Speaks Plainly.
At this point --.>orney GOse, repre-
senting the Barber people, asked per-
mission to explain the bids as they had
been read by Chairman Glasford. At
torney Gose contended that the bid
OF $24,55S7O for bitunlhic submitted
by the Warren company was made on
the basis of a two inch foundation
and did not represent what the cost
OF the finished pavement would be to
property owners.
THAT bid is not a fair bid and is
misleading to the property owners"
Attorney Gose declared. "The fOunda-
tion on which these bids are based are
figured at $3.50 per cubic yard. The
ST ecifications permit of either a two,
three or four inch foundation being
laid and there is not a property owner
in the city who can tell what the COM
pany has laid when the pavement is
down. The only ones who know what
depth of foundation has been laid are
the contractors and possibly the city
engineer.
Job Barber Company.
"1he Warren company has been per.
mitted to submit a bid on the mini,
mum of two inch foundations while the
B.rt er company have always been
forced to bid on the maximum. This
is not fair to the Barber company and
is certainly not fair to the property
owners who are never able to estimate
what their assessments will be.
81 am going to be perfectly frank
with this council. To my personal
knowledge l know these bids have
been secretly figured. l was never
able to see the bids from the time they
were opened on July until the night
the street committee filed it's report
recommending that the Warren Con
struction company be awarded the con
tract. | asked the city clerk for the
bids. He said he did not know Wnere
they were. / asked every member OF
the city council and they were equally
as ignorant of their whereabouts. The
bids were secreted and could not be
found. AS the representative of
qualified bidder in this work | have
haunted these council chambers meet
ing after meeting trying to get some
definite knowledge of what speclflca
tions the council was going to adopt
I have never known when a specihca
ton was settled or when Dlu was tc
be considered. Everything las been in

felt made when an umpire Is refused ad-
mittance to any park and If this does
