CONTRACT TERMS
MAY Be CHANGED
Bids For Sewer Construction
are Held Up.
City Not In Position TO Pay Eighty
Per Cent. OF Cost Of Extension
on Estimates.
ASSESSED AGAINST PROPERTY

Advertisements for bids on the
construction OF the city sewer exte1-
sions from Ninth street to Thirteenth
street are held up pending an inyes-
tigation into the city's ability TO en-
ter into the proposed contract.
II reads that as the work progress
es the city shall pay a total of 50
per cent Of the cost price to the con
tractors on estimates of the engl-
neer. the city reserving 20 per cent
OF the contract price until the work
is accepted.
The objection to the form OF the
contract Is that the city is not TO
pay for the sewer but the cost falls
on abutting property owners. and
without bond issue the terms OF
such a contract can not well be met.
The present plan is to meet the ex-
pense by an assessment. but this can
not be arranged so as 20 provide
funds for the payment OF the cost
as the work progresses.
City Engineer Washington says
that unless this sort of contract Is
let the work may cost 25 per cent
more, and says there will be fewer
bidders. but this argument Is met by
the fact that the city reserves the
right 10 reject all bias.
The principal argument in favor
OF issuing bonds and paying for tn e
work as II progresses lies IN the fadt
that It will give small contractors
chance TO bid Oh the job. They arg
not always sufficiently endowed with
funds to complete a large CONTRACT,
like that contemplated witho1,
drawing something on account 20
pay their men and purchase supplies.
Under recent provision of the
charter the city may issue bonds TO
defray expenses OF public improve
ments and then assess the cost
against property holders on the ten
year installment plan.
Wheeler. Hughes & Berry drew up
the ordinance. providing for the con
struction OF the sewer. in the aosenc,
from the city Of City Solicitor camp
bell and they with the solicitor are
considering the legal aspect OF the
case.
