Lawrence Mills former city attor-
nes who drew the paving contract, and
at present attorney for the paving COM
pany resented the allusion Of Mr.. Per.
SONG to the alleged jokcr" in the con.
tract, the clause giving the engineer
the power Of final decision. he said
This clause was found in all contracts
for construction work, municipal ana
private. and was the only means Of de-
Gliding disputes between parties TO the
contract without going info cour.
Col o'NeilE brought the discussion
back to the original subject from
which it had strayed. He related how
he had appeared before the council to
protest against certain material. how
2 committee had investigated 1t and
lie had been sustained. If the engineer
had been mistaken once. he might be
mistaken again. He showed wherein
Mr. Colby and Prof. DeBarr radically
differed and the only way was 10 have
competent authority TO settle Il. He
had observed cracks in the Kansas av.
enue paving which we're due to faulty
base and the same thing would occur
elsewhere
Replying to Col O'Neill Mr.. Colby
said he didn't question Prof. DeBarr's
sbiiity as a chemist, but he did ques-
tion his knowledge OF concrete work.
He said the cracked paving on kan.
sas avenue in the 500 block hid a
paae Of Jacksboro limestone.
DR.. Gannaway said sandstone was
better for base than limestone il II
was hard, but the soft Sandstone was
useless. He haa observed The work
done here and he considered the great
er part of it bad.
Dennis OBrien went over the entire
proposition strongly criticising the ma
terial and methods used. He said the
samples Of stone and sand condemned
BY Prot DeBarr had been taken from
Third and Colorado avenue.

neer had always requested contractors
10 use Chickasha material but had no
power to compel it.
Replying 10 question from John
lizard. Mr. Colby said red sandstone
was being used for paving in some
Canadian cities and he heard very sat
isfactory reports on it at the meet
ing OF the National Association of En-
gineers

Colby and handed hot ones to his
critics "Chiclasha will make city
