bulk The engineering and streets COM

The engineering committee approved
the two paving contracts awarded by the

Elevator Contract
The finance committee at last found the
matter referring to the Otis Elevator
cOmpany's bid for an elevator on the city
side of the joint building and recommend
ed the approval Of the contract awarded
by the board of works Mayor John s..
BransfOrd has been trying to have the
committee act upon this matter for weeks.
The bid of the Otis company is about
$l,500 in excess Of the NanEmOn COM
pany, but the highest bidder received the
contract.
When members Of the city council gave
A. Campbell about $500 last Monday
night for what he claimed was due on the
last estimate for the wooden stave out
let pipe-nOt even exacting any penalty
they thought they had finished with this
troublesome matter. But last night Mr..
Campbell was on hand again, claiming
the city still owed him money for work
done at the suggestion OF the board Of
works and the bill approved by the board.
Campbell S1,100, and then received the in
formation that he has still another charge
of $40 to make to the board Of works
for the work on the sewer. Campbell las
already received more than the contract
price Of $4,000 for the wooden stave pipe,
2. J. Moran received S20.45S.67 for putting
a concrete jacket around part Of it, and
Campbell is still claiming more money
due him. Some Of the cOuncilmen are
getting weary of 1t, but they want to
clean up the affair without turning the
bundle over to the incoming body
Final estimates for both p. J. Moran
and the James Kennedy Construction
company, amounting in all to about $4,000
were passed by the finance committee.
The improvements committee allowed
for about 50 more arc lights in the First
and Second precincts.
When the rest Of the committees had
gone, the claims committee got together
again and filed all but one claim. This
was the one Of Mrs. T. J. Duke. whose

SPOIL but the committee cut this to 500
