TO DIVIDE CITY INTO
DISTRICTS FOR BIDDERS.
Will Give Small Fry Chance to Place
Estimates On Paving City
Thoroughfares.

Local contractors are to have an
opportunity to bid on the paving of
North Yakima streets. Under the
provisions of the original ordinance
this would have been impossible, as
the small man could not furnish
bond sufficient to carry on the work
1t being so drawn as to assess all adj
joining and abutting property equal
~, making it impossible for the coun-
ell to divide the district into smaller
sections, as if the successful bid in
one section was lower than in the
others, the property owners would
not receive the benefit of this bid
and the division would be illegal
The ordinance came up for it's last
reading. but on motion to divide the
districts the plan contained so many
excellent features that it was decided
to lay the ordinance over until next
regular meeting. In the meantime
the city attorney will draw up such
sections as will permit of the prop
erty owner receiving the benefit of
his location.
With but two large corporations
bidding on the work there would be
but small chance of the city getting
as low bid as there would be If the
companies were aware of the fact
that smaller contractors might enter
bids and be in position to complete
the work.
This will not prohibit the large
contractor from bidding on the en-
tire district. but it will allow the
smaller man to stand on equal show
with him

That marvel much that any kiss
Is sweeter than the apple is

And drowsy winds, awake and fan

A heart, ripe as the apples grow,
