TAKE Ak To
DENNIS PRICE

That G. B. Dennis asked $500
for a strip needed to straighten
Sprague av. at Hatch, but finally
consented to take $4,000, came out
last night in the city council. The
land is a triangular strip which
Capt. Gray judged to be worth
about $500 and somebody else esti-
mated at $500. Councilman Bald
win brought the matter up in a re-
port from the judiciary committee
in order to determine the advisable
ity of making deal for the prop
erty Or conjemning. He figured
the property at about $1,000, and
on Ostrander's motion the finance
committee was empowered to
tender this amount on the alterna.

ings.
Baldwin explained that the prop
erty owners would have to pay the
bill in any event, and Ostrander OBJ
jected to the assessment on the
ground that the improvement was a
general benefit and should be paid
for out of the general fund.
While the city expects to pay
$500 for the land the w. w. P.
Co. bought the opposite strip need
ed to straighten the street for
$500.

MUST REPAIR
bOTCHEO JOB

Street work, or rather the lack of
it, that is an eyesore and incon-
venience to the community, was
exposed in the council meeting last
night and the board of works was
ordered to see that the offending
contractors, Mitchell Bros, be
compelled to finish the job accord
ing to the specifications.
The street complained of is
Blaine between Sherman and
Hatch. One of the property own
ers explained that the retaining
wall had been built at the sidewalk
instead of the property line, big
rocks had been left in the way and
the grading had not been done IN
accordance with the plans. In some
places the sidewalk had been left
from two to four inches above the
curb and the work had been botch-
ed on both sides of the street. Capt.
Gray, of the street committee, had
investigated and substantiated the
complaints made.

DAY LABOR HAS
PAID

There is no possible good excuse
to offer why day labor is not a
good thing for the city," stated
Commissioner ONO today. He said
that day labor can be successful if
those who are in control honestly
endeavor to make it so. He gives
as the reason for the lack of sue
cess with day labor on the Wash
ington st. concrete bridge the fact
that high-salaried foremen are en-
ployed to every eight or 10 men,
and that favoritism has been the
rule of those in charge who, in
stead of endeavoring to have the
work done as cheaply as possible,
have put their friends to work, re-
CARELESS of whether there was room
for them Or not.
II can make day labor pay as
serted ONO. 81 have already made
it pay and will cite you to the Di-
vision hill and Altamont hill jobs,
which were done by day labor I'M
der my direction. On Division st.
we kept we'll within the estimate of
$1,000. We hauled $4,000 yards of
dirt at an average of 10 cents. On
Altamont hill the estimated cost of
the work was $500. We com
pleted it for $4,000. But we didn't
employ a foreman to every few
men"

town, yesterday afternoon, follow
ing a report that the bandits who
shot Deputy Sheriff Mackey of
Mica were seen there, Sheriff Doak,
Deputies Mac Pugh and Long. and
Sergeant McPhee, returned last
night, all worn out from the trip,
with the information that the per-
sons who caused all the excitement
were the wrong ones.
What gave rise to the report was
the fact that one of the men under
suspicion was wounded in the foot,
and the other was a dark-skinned
trampish-looking individual. But
the wounded one had been injured
by log rolling on his foot, and the
other did not answer either of the
bandits descriptions.

LAMBERT OPENS
WAR ON DAY
LABOR

AS natural consequence of the
board of works report showing a
total cost of s157,941.57 for the
Washington st. bridge when the
original estimate called for $4,000,
a fight against day labor was pre-
cipitated in the city council last
night. 1t was led by Councilman
Lambert. Councilman Lambert is
a member of the master plumbers
association, which has succeeded in
reducing bidding to the scientific
basis of eliminating competition OF
any consequence and still distribut-
ing the work so that everybody
concerned is satisfied.
On the face of the enormous dis
crepancy between the estimated
and the actual cost of the bridge
he had a strong showing from his
standpoint and used it in vigor-
Gus attack on the day labor plan of
doing public work. In his argu-
ment he included the underground
water supply originally estimated
at $4,000 and which, Lambert
claimed, would actually cost $780,
600 when completed.
The fight came up over passage
of an ordinance to build new
bridge at East Olive st. Lambert
offered a resolution that no more
bridges be constructed on the day
labor plan.
Lambert recounted the cost of
the Washington st. bridge and prob
ably cost of the water works, and
without going into possible delin-
Quencies of management or other
factors in the case. laid the blame
for the excuses entirely on labor.
He called the expenditures made a
criminal waste of public money,
and insisted that the council de-
clare exclusively for contract work
hereafter. In this he was upheld
by Councilman Mohr and Attor-
ney Arthur Kenyon.
Baldwin arose to defend labor
from the responsibility. He point
ed out that bridge construction had
been remove from the jurisdiction
of the board of public works con.
trary to the city charter, and placed
in exclusive charge of an engineer
imported from the East by Mayor
Moore for this specific purpose
Under this supervision, he argued
that thousands of dollars had been
wasted in use Golfer dams that
proved useless and in a costly plant
that was not absolutely necessary.
He was convinced that the board
of works could have handled the
work to better advantage and also
that the city, under proper super
vision, could have saved money I'M
der the day labor plan. Baldwin
.Eo4ed building steel bridges by
contract, but he laid the blame of
the Washington st. extravaganza
upon its management and not upon
the men who did the work.
Thomas Maloney also champion
ed labor and counselled allegiance
of action until the labor side of the
question could be heard and a de-
tailed report made. He said an i'm
partial investigation would lay the
responsibility on the management.
On Capt. Gray's motion, supported
by Councilman Baldwin and Pres.
Phillips, the matter went to the
committee of the whole, to be con-
sidered in conjunction with an opin-
ion from City Engineer Ralston.

WILL DOODLE BEAT HUGHES
IN ANTI GAMBLING BATTLE?
Special Correspondence to The Press


ALBANY May 27.-After all, will
Go. Hughes lose out In his fight
against the race track betting ring
1t begins to look very much as if
he might.
The governor succeeded in elect
ing w. c. Wallace, his senatorial
candidate in the Niagara-Orleans
county district, whose vote was ex-
pected to sound the death knell of
betting on New York race tracks.
Now it looks as though Doodle,
and not Wallace's vote, would be
the deciding factor.
The bosses of both parties are
lined up with the race track men.
A monster corruption fund, esti-
mated as high as $1000000, has
been sent to Albany. it is said, by
the race track gamblers.
Regardless of price these inter-
ests are determined, by hook or
crook, to defeat the anti-betting
bills, TO pass which the governor
has called an extra session of the
legislature.
