There you have it. Why the city
could buy an asphalt plant for $1,000
and pay for that expensive $4,000
garbage incinerator and still have
nearly $4,000 left over. Besides this,
there would be rock crushing plant.
which as Bill Kirkman suggested last
night, could be used to macadamize
the residence streets of the city at cost.
Then the city would have it's own as
phalt machine on hand so that it
could use it to repair the pavement
whenever it needed it.
why, with that $4,000 left over the
city could get a real, genuine. high
class. superintendent to supervise the
work of paving and see that it was
done right and then have enough left
over to fit out the prettiest little city

CITY would be up against it without
an incineratOr. He had visited the
garbage burning place with Council
man Tausick last year and the fumes
from it were overpOwering and even
ruined plants in the vicinity. Also
things would grow worse as the city
grew. Either an incineratOr must be
put in or teams enough hired to haul
the garbage clear away. This would
be a large expense and would require
half a dozen Or more teams.
Tausick said he was thoroughly con-
vinced something must be done or the
city would have some damage suits.
He was in favor of an incinerator II
the city could get its moneys worth.
He was inclined to think $4,000 was
a pretty steep price.
Glasford spoke of the correspond
ence whic: the city attorney had with
Portland which has a Decarie inclner-
ator which was a success. He thought
Walla Walla was getting one cheaper
than had been thought possible.
Dundham pointed out that Spokane
had one and was putting in larger
one.
Kirkman thought the criticism arose
from the fact that many people had
not the remotest idea what an lncln-
orator should cost If the bids had
called for more than one kind it might
have been better. AS it was the peO-

Was the city of Walla Walla "jObed"
when it paid $4,000 for Decarie in
cinerator to burn garbage? This was
warmly discussed at the informal coun-
Gil meeting yesterday afternoon.
1t was shown there was strong be-
lief in the city that the council had
acted hastily in the matter of purchas-
ing the garbage burned and had paid
too high a price for it SO the city solons
decided to talk it over and decide II
they had made a mistake.
Mayor Kellough broached the sub
ject after the bonding question had
been disposed of, saying:
Does anybody think we have done
wrong in buying the incinerator and
have we paid an exorbant price for
it?''
Councilman Bridges said his only OBJ
lection to the way the council had acted
was that the bids had been advertised
for in such form it had not been possi-
BILE to have more than one bid. He
thought this had a wrong appearance
even though all right.
Councilman Bachtold tersely sum-
married. the complaints on the outside
to the amusement of all the cOuncilmen
by saying 1.-The question is did we buy
the incinerator because we needed 1t or
because we wanted to give someone an
order?"

lie thought the council had not given
thought the motion he made Tuesday
night to have the city clerk find out
where incineratOrs had been sold
might clear the atmosphere. Then in
formation could be obtained from each
city which would put criticism at rest.
BachtOld suggested there might have
been more trouble if other bids had
been called for as it would have been
difficult to accept an $4,000 inciner-
ator when there was a $4,000 bid in
for cheaper kind.
Bridges thought that as the thing
had been done it had been simply
blind to advertise for bids. 1t would
have saved money to the city to have
given it to the Decarie people without
advertising.
Kirkman said he had corresponded
with the Decarie company with small
satisfaction and he wrote to Spokane
and got an unsatisfactory reply from
them also.

COUNCIL SLAPS
CITY ATTORNEY
Votes 10 Hire Lawyer 10
Decide Lending Question

Three pertinent questions arose at
the informal meeting of the committee
of the whole of the city council yes
terday afternoon in regard to the
question of issuing refunding bonds.
Should the city issue refunding
bonds to take up part of its out
standing warrants? If so, how large
an amount of bonds should be issued
Can the issue be made legally?
All those present agreed pretty well
in regard to the first two questions.
It was clearly brought out at the
meeting that if the city should issue
100000 in refunding bonds to take
up outstanding warrants it would not
only add to the city Indebtedness but
would decrease it by saving the pre-
MUM which would be paid on the
bonds.
Estimating this premium on bids Of
fered Tuesday night it would be in
the neighborhood of $4,000 Or one
years interest which would be saved
entire by the funding plan.
The opinion was even expressed that
the city might do better than this
because it was likely if bids were call
ed for on this issue Of 100000 and on
the 100000 for a city hall the money
could be obtained for 1-2 per cent.
which would mean a saving of $1,000
in interest every year.

IDLE MATHEMATICIAN SHOWS HOW CITY
COULD SAVE THOUSANDS W|THNEW PLANT

I've been doing little figuring on
this city paving plant business since 1
read your paper yesterday and heard
Bill Kirkman's speech on having the
city do it's own macadamizing," said
man with a pencil who dropped into
The Statesman reportOrial rooms this
morning, land just let me show you a
few things.
Il don't believe in socialism or in
having the city own street car lines or
haven't got any Bryan notions about
the railroads but 1 have been doing a
little arithmetic on this paving busi-
ness since yesterday" he said as he
sat down to explain to the reporter.
who said he was from Missouri.
Il have figured it out that the city
would make from $4,000 to $4,000 by
doing it's own asphalt paving on the
streets which have already been rec
commended to be paved. The amount
depends on whether you take the price
Of paving at S1.75 square yard as bid
for Rose street or $3.50 a yard which
was what the city paid for the Main
street paving.
ITO be on the safe side and con-
servative 1 will take the low figure
on Rose street as 1 can't be accused of
stretching things you know. Somebody
is liable to read this article if you put
it in your paper and l want it under
rather than over the real saving.
We'll, taking the whole thing on
the Rose street figures. That contract
has been let for $27,332S5, ain't it?
Well, there is five blocks and a half
of it. That would make an average
cost of $4,969.60 a block for paving.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-03-14

Well, there are 81 blocks of paving
outside of Rose street that have been
recommended. Where do l get it?
Well, here" and the man with the
pencil proceeded to put it in black and
white as he talked.
There is South Third street with
First street with 1-2 blocks Well,
besides this there has been recon-
mended the paving of five blocks on

asphalt: North Second street has IL

Third has the same amount and South
Second street if they only run as far
as Birch street would have one and

street. wouldn't it?
Now at the average price per block
of S4,969.G0 arguing from Rose street
price. it would make $1O4.319.61 and
add to this the actual price of Rose
street it would make $131652.46 which
the property owners of the city would
pay for paving with asphalt the
streets which have already been rec
commended for. Maybe l have made
little mistake in the figures. 1 have
