ether pulverized contracts.
Tausick asked for a weeks delay in
order that he might see if the prop
erty owners of Rose street would not
agree to pay for the street intersec-

have the money. But the Warran
Construction company was present in

fused to contract with individuals. de-
claring this was something it never
did Whether it was glad to lose all
contracts to get out of paving Rose
street at $175 a square yard was not
stated in so many words.
The bitulithic squad voted solid to
release the company from its con-
tracts in spite of the opinion of City
Attorney BlandfOrd that the Rose

There will be no strike is the Opin-

If the strike came it would tie VI

S. B. Calderhead, general freight and
passenger agent of the w. & c. r

said this morning:
"They won't strike. In order to be
successful a strike must have the sym.
pathy of the public. This it could moi
have now, because the people OF the
country have had SO many tie up;
of late they are tired of it. The train
men know this so they will not strike
An agreement will be reached.

Rose street was one of the most de-
plorable things about the whole sit
uatiOn. He wanted to pave it if any
possible arrangement could be made
to pay for intersections.
Attorney Sharpstein, for the Warren
company, explained it was a doubtful
matter whether the company could
hold the property owners for the
street intersections even if they agreed
to pay for them and his clients did
not care to take the risk. There was
no provision in the city charter of
Walla Walla on this proposition. Only
cities of the first class were specifi-
cally authorized to charge up street in
tersections to the property owner.
Tausick pleaded for more time to let
the city look up the matter.

passed, Tausick alone voting nay The
three contracts rescinded aggregate
