Another seance over the mixers
for the concrete base for paving was
pulled off today, The merchants
are anxious to have Third and Sec
ond streets finished before 1t rains
and the contractors decided to put
on the Continuous" mixer to work
With the batch" mixer" and double
the output. The mayor and part OF
the council and Engineer Murdock
said no. They wired Burns G. Nc
nonnell, the engineers in official
charge and they replied that they
would not be responsible for the
continuous mixers work.
The contractors replied that they
would use what they pleased so long
as the concrete was put in accord
ing to specifications and as they were
doing that they did not care what
the engineer said. They started
both mixers. The engineer took off
the inspectors and the work went
ahead.

The Cold Facts.

A great deal of time has been
wasted In scrapping over what kind
.o q mixer for concrete the paving
contractors shall use. The specifica-
tions call for certain kind Of paw
ing and il this is put down 1t makes
no difference whether it Is mixed
with continuous" machine, a
"batch" machine or is stirred up by
hand. If 1t is according to specift-
cations the city will have to pay the
bill. The contractors finally quit
scrapping and are using both ma
chimes. The administration should
see that the work is done right and
II it is done right cease worrying
about how it is accomplished. The
merchants are losing trade because
of the paving delay and the quicker
the work is done the better for the
town.

Councilmen Robson, Cpwan, Me-

were present. A motion by Gleissner
to annul the contract developed
long discussion In which the relative
merits of Continuous" and batch"
mixers were threshed out in great
detail.
Mr.. Tainter was asked why he had
put on the Continuous mixer. He
explained that he had been notified
by the city engineer to increase his
force. In order to carry out this Or
der he had put on the extra machine.
He had also been notified to COM
plete the paving on Third street as
soon as possible. For that reason he
had located the continuous" mixer
on that street, while the batch"
machine was finishing up on Second.
Furthermore the men employed at
the asphalt plant were idle on ac-
count Of an accident to the machinery.
He had been urged to push the work
along, and the extra mixer enabled
him to give employment to these men
while they were waiting for the re-
pairs to be completed.

Then the city marshal took a hand.

he had none. "What is the charge

The city marshal, assisted by Mr..
Powell and Mr.. Woolverton seized
Talnter and started with him to the
sidewalk, but they didn't get along
very fast. Somebody stumbled, and
the four rolled over and over on one
of the sand piles. "It's an outrage

There seems to be no charge against
me and no officer to tell me what

At this juncture J. T. Woolverton
appeared in the doorway and asked
him as a favor to wait a little longer.
He waited. Still no Judge and no
marshal.
Then the little group in the court
room had a laugh all around and
