Samuel KATE, of the Katz- Craig Con
struction company of Omaha, and hi.
superintendent, James Craig, at a spe
cial meeting of the city council thi.
morning We're granted request t.
sift the gravel to be used for the con
crete on Norfolk avenue through ;
one-eighth-inch mesh sitter instead o
a quarter-inch sitter, as the specified
tions call for This will mean tina
the gravel used will be smaller. Mr.
katz, however, assured the council ant
property owners committee that NOR,
cement would be added to the sant
and gravel to make the concrete al
good as that when coarser gravel il
used. For time the property own
ers, who were represented by j. w
Ransom, Burt Mapes, d. Rees ant
Judge Isaac Powers, were of the opin
ion that in case the smaller grave
would be used the work could be don,
cheaper and in this case an injustic
was being done to other contractor
who, they believed, would have bid OF
the paving had they known they coul,
use smaller gravel. This question wa
soon cleared away by the contractor
who declared he was making no prof
from the change. in fact he was usini
more cement and would probably de
crease his profit and give Norfolk bet
ter paving. This seemed to satisf.
the property owners and the meeting
adjourned tremendously.
