FOR THE CITY
Director Sparks Convinced
That From soto Is Centsa
Yard Could be Saved

Street and Sewer Director George
w. Sparks has been looking into the
subject Of the city doing it's own paw
ing. and he is firmly convinced that
the city can save from so to Is cents
a yard ON all paving laid by the
Street and Sewer Department with its
own workmen.
The directors were somewhat dis
appointed at the bids received recently
for paving, as the figures were much
higher than any heretofore received
from contractors and far higher than
the directors had expected.
This has caused President Melvin
and Directors Sparks and Gray to con.
slider the plan of having the depart
ment to engage IT'S own workmen tC
lay the new streets under the loan bill
authorized by the recent Legislature
The directors think there would be /
material saving that in the long run
would enable streets SO be laid az fron
so TO IS cents cheaper than If the con
tracts should be awarded to the iti
dlviduals or firms that submitted bid
recently.
