SECOND PETITION
MADE TO COUNCIL
Strange & Mcguire Again APP
ply for Site for Their
Asphalt Plant.
APPROVE MORAN CONTRACT
ACTION OF BOARD OF PUBLIC
WORKS RATIFIED LAST NIGHT.

Another petition from Strange & Ma
guire, contractors, for a permit for
site in City Creek canyon was received
by the city council last night and referred
10 the public grounds committee. Two
weeks ago the council denied the new
firm of asphalt contractors the right to
establish their asphalt mixing plant in
the canyon at the side of p. J. MOran's
plant. In the new petition, the cOntrac-
tors ask for ground about $50 feet north
OF MOran's plant
In the petition Of Strange & Mcguire
1t is pointed out that they will pay a
monthly rental of SO, whereas Moran is
paying only SIS, and that they viii not
interfere with Moran. All the crushed
stone and sand used in the mixing will
be conducted TO the plant in City creek
IRON Mellens gravel pit on the
top of the hill, by means OF chutes, thus
ObViaung the hauling OF gravel up the
canyon road The contractors point out
that they have saved the city about So
900 during the last four months on two
asphalt paving contracts alone and sug-
gest that if competition is wanted they
should have the same right as Moran in
the canyon.
The old bill of the gravel-haUling firm
of Raleigh * Harmon, coming TO the
council under the guise of b Young, one
OF the fOremen for the firm, was up for
discussion, bat the bill was finally paid,
amounting to nearly $500 for gravel hauled

Economy is an administration slo-

Legislation passed the senate last
week which will call for the expen-
diture Of a few thousands out Of the
United States treasury for a fish cul-
ture station in Nebraska. II it passes
the house, $4,000 will be expended
in Nebraska by Uncle Sam in breed
ing and growing fish to stock the
streams.
Already, however. the economical
program of President Taft has pre-
scented an obstacle to the enactment
of legislation dear to the hearts of
the Nebraska delegation. 1t has
given raise to a curious situation
with reference to a bill which Mr..
Taft very strongly endorsed when he
was secretary of war, that OF increas-
ing the size of the signal corps and
making a regular arm of the service.
The Nebraska men are interested
because the headquarters OF the sig

a blow at am expenditure in which ev-

And because they are heavier and are
