eulation and the signatures secured was
merely to get an expression of the SEN
timent of the property owners on TINS
matter Of repaVlng. We haven't thought
of this Harrison street pumping station
as a site for the asphalt plant, things
haven't got far enough along for that.
I think personally that it is impOs-
sible for the city to get the right kind
of work done under contract. We are
all human and the temptation to mix
greater percentage of sand at ten cents
a ton in comparison with $22 a ton as
phalt is too great to be resisted. I'm
/ less the city had inspectors whom it was
sure couldn't be bought to watch over
the work there is not a contracting firm
in the United States but what would
fudge a little on their contract. Under
these conditions think it is great
deal better for the city to do its own
work Even if the cost is a little high-
er BY this method than under contract
/ think it would be advisable to adopt
it. The present pavements which are
now down haven't to exceed 6 per cent
of asphalt when they should have Is
per cent
.rWin the council change its mind on
this municipal asphealt plant2"
It's very likely to, you really can't
tell. know they have taken stand
on this municipal asphealt plant but
they are very liable to adopt another
resolution taking back all they said.
Didn't City Engineer McCabe change
his mind. He first thought that brick
could not be laid on Kansas avenue or
rather that it was impracticable to do
so because the base would have to be
disturbed and now look how he is, hot
after brick.
ssThats why say you can't tell, that
these councilmen may cvhange their
minds"
