Jay P. Graves, head of the Trac-
ton interests, has been cited to ap-
pear before the city bridge COM
mittee at o'clock Monday after
noon and discuss the mooted prob
lem OF how much his company will
pay toward the expense Of con.
struction of new bridges.
Yesterday d. l.. Huntington OF
the w. w. p. spent several hours
before the committee explaining
the position of his company. He
: endorsed a suggestion by Chair
man Fred Baldwin that the COM
panies do not pay in lump sum,
but pay yearly. He said his COM
pany would stand by its previous
offer to pay 80 per cent of the
cost of the North Howard st.
bridge IL the cost did not exceed
Sal, 900. He contended that the
company should not be asked to
pay more than the difference be-
tween the cost of structure suit.
able for highway traffic and one for
streetcar traffic.
Mr.. Huntington's attitude on the
labor question was interesting. He
said that the city pays too much
wages. His company gets COM
mon laborers to work 10 hours a
day for $225 while the city pays
$2.75 for eight hours. Then he
stated that his company would
enter into no deal with the city on
a day labor basis. but bridges
must be built by contract.
He stated that fill should be
made instead Of the "Y" bridge on
Howard st. and e-timated that the
cost would be $4,000 to the city
and $4,000 to the company. A
bridge here would cost $4,000.
With regard to the entire bridge
proposition Mr.. Huntington stated
that 1t was unjust to exact more
than one quarter Of the cost of
any new bridge from the company,
as the building of bridges of suf-
fcient strength for streetcar traf-
fic as compared to the cost for
