to be paved are located in North To-
peka.
Incidentally the cost of paving has
gone up just exactly IA cents per
square yard within the last two years.
This might interest some of the tax
payers who are now paying more for
paving than they have for great
many years. Advance in the cost of
labor and the price of coal are given
as the reason by the manufacturers of
brick for the increased cost of brick
which is the important factor in high
er paving charges. 1t is also claimed
that a local brick combine had some
thing to do with conditions. However,
the big advance did not come this
year, the contracts let May Z, 1906
were for 1922 per square yard.
1t has been sometime since an out
side person has secured any paving
contracts in Topeka. In fact 1T is pref
ty hard to remember when a contrac-
tor from another town ever did come
to Topeka and land all of the paving.
With two brick plants right in the city
the local contractors got inside prices
for brick from these local manufac-
turers which foreign bidders were I'M
able to meet and knowing this they
usually stayed away. But Rice is a
of brick himself. He is
in the Phoenix brick COM
pany which it is said is one Of the
largest brick plants in their territory.
The paving contracts let last night
do not include the repaving of
North Kansas avenue from the Melan
arch bridge to Gordon street with
brick, nor the repaving of West Tenth
avenue from Jackson to Harrison
streets with asphalt. Advertisements

ii. GrlggS, 1880. -a.
F. G. Dreaming threatened the coun-
Gil last night with a suit if they voted
to pay out $41464 for understanding a
part of East Eighth avenue.
The county had started in to ma
cademize a stretch. of the street out
side of the city limits and asked the
council to go half way with them on
the cost. The county went ahead with
the work and the city agreed to nav
for its just proportion amounting to
$41464. The charter act provides that
the city has no right to appropriate any
amount to exceed 500 for public i'm
pr6vement work without first advertis-
ing for bids and letting the work to
the lowest bidder. The city attorney
contends that the city failed to do this
and therefore violated the provisions of
the city charter act.
The city attorney was called on for
his legal opinion last evening as to the
right of the council to pay the amount
He started in to tell the council what
he thought when an interruption came
from one of the eouncilmen.
Don't make a stump speech. We
want to know what the law isl
Eyes, just give us the law and cut

mayor.

tie violations have cost the city thou

Gilman Montgomery. Il think the city
attorney should suggest some way to

ney with eight dissenting votes. The
