they will win even if their antagonists
are all Irish.

BIDS ARE OPENED.
Reveal Fact That Pavement
Will Cost Less Than Ever.
Close Competition Between Many
Companies.
BUT ONE TOPEKA FIRM
Out of Town Concerns Will Cap
ture Majority of Contracts.
Explanation of Three Grades
Of Pavement by Rogers.

With list of the best paving COM
panies in the country in front of them
last night the city council opened the
bids on thirty-five blocks of paving
ing which covers about half of the
pavement work to be constructed by
the city OF Topeka this year at a cost
of almost SO 600.
The pavement bids opened last
night was for the brick pavement only
ard it was divided into the three
grades suggested by the city engineer
about a month ago J.. H. Stanton,
his bid being $1.37; R. G. Gilfllian,
carried away the second grade honors
his bid being $1.26, and John Ritchie
took the third grade at S1.20 On the
grading the National Construction
con- pauy ma 7e the lowest offer, charg-
ing rs cents for the work. Mcclure
secured the rolling contract making
1t one cent and Ritchie went below
them all on resurfacing.
Out of Town Companies
The bids last night open a new era
in Topeka paving contracts. Every bit
of the work with the exception of the
third grade pavement and the resur-
facing was contracted with an out of
town firm. J. II. Stanton who secured
the bids on the first grade paving is a
Leavenworth man. H. G. Gilfllian
who TOOK away the second grade hon
ors is a Chanute man. The National
CONSTRUCTION company Is a South
Omaha corporation and Mcclure is of
Leavenworth John Ritchie of Tope-
ka secured the thi-d grade and the re-
surfa cling.
This is tie first time in the history
of the city that out of town firms Jared
50 well in the BIDS and according to
the city engineer the bids were the
closest and the keenest ever received
by the city. The specifications for
the paving this year were much more
detailed than ever before and Mr.
Rogers has promised the city that if
every little detail is not lived up to
the contracts will be taken from them
This competition is very advantageous
to the city more so this year on ac-
count of the immense amount of paw
ing to be constructed.
Several of the people of the city
have been signing petitions not know
ing what they were getting in to, They
were influenced by concerns which
have been employing agents over the
city. The three classes of pavement
differ greatly in construction and du-
rability also in price.
Different Pavement Glasses.
The first-class, as recommended by
the city engineer, is undoubtedly the
best pavement ever laid in the city of
Topeka. It resembles the West Sixth
paVement that was laid last year. It is
not only recommended by the city en-
gineer but the council as a whole. in
Guiding Mayor Green, admit that this
pavement is by far the best. Their one
