MEMBERS NOT
WORRIED ABOUT CHARGE
COMPLAINTS ABOUT
CONCRETE MADE,
HOWEVER.

Members Of the city council do
not view with much apprehension
The broad declaration Of supt
founfs, Of the lighting and water
department that there bad not been
a foot Of paving or concrete laid
In the city that came up TO the
specifications Of the city engineer.
I cannot think that thorc IL
anything wrong. or that the con.
tractors are cheating the city"
stated Councilman Wardall today.
4 know that our concrete walks
have been declared by experts from
a Canadian city as the best they
found In any Of the big cltlos OF
this country II the concrete does
not come up 10 the specifications,
1t IL probably the case that the
specifications are a little over the
mark that should be fixed
Thinks II 10 Strange.
The statement seems rather
strange, explained Councilman
Weaver, but from my personal oh.
servations | am led TO believe that
concrete walks which have been
laid in this city come up to every
average requirement The walks
have stood the test OF constant use
satisfactorily. 20 far as appears
on the surface
There Is evidence about the ad-
ministratlve halls. however, which
tends TO show that Youngs was
right. to q certain extent, in his
sweeping declaration.
II ie known that certain sections
Of the concrete laid for the paving
Of Eastlake NV. were highly unsat.
isfactory. The declaration was
made openly that part Of this con
crete was OF such an inferior quail
ity that Il could not stand the
test.
Concrete Is Poor.
Complaints have also been made
at the city hall about the quality
Of some OF the concrete used In
the Improvement OF Olympic place.
II Is claimed that this concrete was
deficient In several respects, so
much so as TO give rise to objee-
lions from property owners
The city has experienced almost
constant trouble from certain sec
ton OF the Cedar river pipe line. in
which the concrete is alleged to
have been below tho standard re.
Quired. Principal Assistant City
Engineer Scott, now deceased. had
ordered portion Of this pipe taken
ont before his death because II was
80 inferior, but IL Is openly charged
that this inferior pipe was imme
diately afterwards covered over
while the Inspector was away else
where on the job The question
that arises In the minds Of several
city officials is why the city ever
paid for this part of the work.

INTERESTING STORY OF

tunity of making a splendid lake was
seen and grasped without a moments

car tracks were laid was made big
enough. high enough and strong
enough to confine the water OF the
creek above II, and the happy result
was that the water gradually spread
ont over the low ground above the
dam until 1t covered an area OF 100
acres or more.
The bed OF the lake has been
dredgcd out, the many pretty, pictur.

trees and shrubbery. an elegant payll.

the lake. where light refreshments
are served, and where the pople can
