know why his firm was turned down.
He was told by Mayor Hamilton that
the council had gone over the bids
very thoroughly and had given con-
tracts to not only the lowest but the
best bidder. Mr.. Root said he
would serve an injunction on the
council If they attempted to give the
! contract to the Inland Empire Co.,
and demanded his certified check at
once, saying that he could not risk
leaving the check with the council
during the night. He afterwards
changed his mind, telling City Clerk
'ihany to keep 1t as he would prob
ably bring suit against the city.
Discussing Bids on the Street.
A number of the contractors are
still in the city and they are vehe-
ment in their denunciations of the
action of the council in the letting of
the contracts, especially those in
districts number seven and eight.
On the district number seven con-
tract, r. e. Lee, of the Murphy COM
pany, states that their specification
number two bid is over $500 less
than the accepted bid and he is un-
able to understand why his company
was ignored. The city engineer and
council answer this by saying that
this company's specifications call for
five inch layer of concrete, while
the Inland company's call for six and
that the Murphy company's specifica-
tions were about as loose a set as
could possibly have been submitted
and furthermore, that this company
to their knowledge, has no reputa-
ton to speak of, as a first class paw
ing company. and that If they were
given the contract they would simply
be experimenting at the expense of
the citizens Of this city and what is
more that the Inland company has
patents on the very class of paving
that this company proposes to put in
and that II the Murphy company had
been given the contract, that the
Inland company would most likely
have the city and the Murphy com
pany tied up for the infringement of
their patent.
This Firm Objects.
One firm of contractors states that
yesterday they were told in the city
OF Spokane that there was no use of
their going to Occur d'Alene Mon
day night as 1t had all been arranged
to give the Inland Empire company
all the contracts. Practically ali OF
them state that the Inland Empire
Hassam Paving company has just
been organized and while the Has
sam Paving company with headquar-
tiers In Massachusetts, may have a
great reputation, this Inland company
Is only paying the home company
royalty for the use of the Hassam
name.
Wrights Reply.
City Engineer Wright states that
he original Hassam company values
It's great reputation entirely too we'll
% allow any subsidiary company to
lse their name and then put in me-
ilcore work. That the home Has
lam company always carry a large
block Of the stock in all companies

ways send a paving expert from their
main ONCE to superlntend any work

GOVERNOR AND BOARD OF
ASSESSORSHAVE FIRST CLASH

The Board of assessors met this
morning and occupied the entire ses-
sion in discussing assessments on
telephone lines. Owens made a mo-
ton to leave the assessing of the
lines to the various assessors but the
governor refused to entertain the mo-
ton as the law made it mandatory
that the board fix the rate.
The attorney general gave them the
law and after a heated discussion
Bradley moved to leave it to the va
rious assessors and his motion car.

This afternoon the question Of
railroad assessments came up but at
the time of going to press no action
had been taken.
Today brought out the first clash
between the governor and the board.

for the present time and will be bot
lied in this city in the same manner
as the output of the bigEastern brew
cries is bottled on the coast. Later
a lager beer plant will probably be in
stalled in tbs city an the product
made entirely at home.
A number of Improvements will be
made to the building occupied at the
present time by the plant and these
will .e made as soon as spring opens
and the weather will permit.
In peaking of the matter Mr.. Stenz
SAID that when the plans under way
had been carried out Carson Citv
would have the most modern and com.
plete brewing plant in the state.
Mr.. Hackmeyer will have full charge
of the business and intends to serve
his patrons with the best that the mar
ket affords. Mr.. Stenz leaves for
Santa Cruz this evening to attend an
important meeting of the Board of
Directors of his brewing companies
there but will return to this city later
on and MAKE arrangements necessary
to carrying out the plans he has for
the betterment of the local plant.
