BIDS FIXED UP
BY CONTRACTORS
Work of Paving Three City Blocks
Evenly Divided Among
Contestants.

AS result of what is believed to
have been an agreement between the
parties in question. the paving OF
three blocks, one on North Fifth, one
on North Third and one on Henry
street. will be done by three contrac.
tors, one block going to each contrac.
tor. And all get the same price.
This plan of dividing the work was
revealed when bids were opened at q
meeting of the committee on street,
Thursday night. Incidentally, the
paving will cost the city el.21 per yard
as against SIS and 90 cents per yard
paid for the same kind Of work last
year. The contractors attempted to
explain the increased cost by the fact
that labor ~ more expensive now than
II was then.
When the bids were opened It waa
found that Charles Gasser, bidding
$I.21 per square yard. had offered
the lowest figure for the work on one
Of the blocks. Messrs. J. c. Weinbrum
and Thomas A. Barry a. Co. bidding
q few cents higher. On the second
block Mr.. Weinhrum bid sl.21 and
the other two bid higher. On the
third block Thomas A. Barry a Co,
bid sl,2t and the other two present
ed higher figures.
Contracts were awarded to the low

FAVOR REMOVAL
OF SHOW CASES
Committee on Streets Endorses
Resolution Regarding Mer-
chants on Broad Street.
LATTER NOT SATISFIED
Claim Measure Discriminate in
That it Applies Only to Certain
Section.

Despite the objections of several
leading merchants, who declare the
measure unfair in that il dscrimi-
mates, members OF the committee on
streets have unanimously voted re-
commended that all show cases be
removed from Broad street between
Twelfth and jefferson streets.
This movement lie IN a ramification
OF the campaign for better. bigger
and more beautiful Broad street.
Merchants. while favoring the spirit
of the measure, save objected to Its
letter, They claim that al store
keepers on Broad or any other street
should be subjected TO the same re-
strictions, or that none OF them
should. They explain their attitude
with the declaration that the bust
ness section may change and that
since show cases are the best OF draw
ing cards such discrimination Is Civ
ing distinct advantage to merchants
whose stores are without the zone
specified by the committee.
The ordinance as recommended at
the meeting Thursday night provides
that all distractions shall be removed
within twenty days after notice has
been given. This will dispose OF the
proposition to widen the sidewalks on
Broad street. such action now being
considered superiuous,
In connection with the matter above
referred to- City Attorney Pollard sub
mitted to the committee a letter call
ing attention to the congested eondi-
ton of Fourteenth street between
Main and Cary streets. 1t is claimed
that this thorouGhfare, which leads
to Mayos bridge, Is practically mo-
nopolized during working hours by
~-s,ka nd hnf
virtually crowded off the sidewalks.
The matter was discussed at con-
siderable length, several of the MEM
bers expressing the opinion that IL
| might be advisable to widen the
street. No action was taken.
Decide on Steam Roller.
The much mooted question as To
what steam roller should be pur-
| chased by the city for work In the
! East End was settled when the sub
| committee reported, endorsing the
| original recommendation made by the
city engineer to the effect that the
| city purchase machine from J.
/ Chase & Co, at cost Of s2.850.
| Mr.. Lynch was bitterly opposed tt
buying what he characterized as
cheap machine" He urged that tn'
committee recommend the buying o.
the Kelley roller for $3.50. His mo
/ ton to this effect was lost by n Vot'
of 10 Q, and the report OF the SUB
