GOOD FOR BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

GOOD FOR BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The Evening Sun feels justified in its de
mands for cheaper sidewalk work, and congrat-
ulates the board of public works and the city
engineer on their success in reducing the cost
of more than two miles of sidewalk on Twelfth
and CLAY streets and on Fountain avenue near
" $4,000, compared to heretofore prevailing
prices for that kind of work. The requirements
were altered slightly, without lessening the du-
rabiIity of the walks, and foreign bids were
invited The result has been to set precedent
of IL 40 cents square foot for sidewalks as
compared with previous average of 10 cents.
This alone makes difference of $685. on
the present contract which will be saved to the
property owners.
Comparisons of all the items show unvarying
reductions. The cost of sidewalks was reduced
from 16 or II to IL 40 cents; the cost of drive
ways from 20 and % cents to II cents; the cost
of curbing from 50 and % cents to 81 cents; the
cost of cutters from 80 and 80 cents to % cents;
and the cost of drain pipes from 30 cents to 20
cents. There are 81 $50 feet of sidewalk; 7,210
feet of drveways 1860 feet of curbing; H.
$50 feet of CUTTERS and ,326 feet of pipe. Null
tiplying these dimensions by the difference in
the cost per foot of each, gives saving of So
$500 to the property owners.
But this is not enough There were ten out
of-town bidders. More than that number Sc

when they learned that the contractor must col
lect the assessment from each property owner.
If the general council had authority to issue
special assessment bonds for such work, pay
able in ten years, and constituting a lien on the
assessed property, so that the contractor could
be paid lump sum upon acceptance of the
work, another $1,000, and possibly more, could
be saved to the property owners. As the pres
ent success of the board of public works means
that $5,936.20 will remain in possession of the
people, who must pay for the sidewalks, more
than would have remained under the old con
tract price; the issuance of bonds would mean
that $4,000 would remain in their hands TO be
spent on improvements or among the retail
dealers, or deposited in a bank to be loaned out
to local industries.
Not only these property owners are benefit
ted but the whole community is benefited by
such economies and it behOOves the citizens to
urge upon the Legislators the necessity of
amending the charter so that these savings can
be made. In years past property owners have
spent not less than $4,000 more than necessary
for sn n in prOvements. 1t discourages prop
erty owning and drugs the real estate market.
