ing and nearly so per cent OF the prop
erty owners in the proposed brick dis
tircts demanded concrete. The council
then changed the districts until three
blocks called for concrete to one Of
brick Bids were opened June 20. 1910
whereupon, as predicted in the T.-R.
the week before the only bidders on
concrete We're the two brick paving
contractors. Four other concrete con-
tractors, altho present to bid, had been
scared out. This time concrete was
priced at s1.eS and brick at $1.95.
Providence Joins T.-R.
At this point providence joined Greg
DRY. McCarten and the T.-R.. for had
not Mike Ford made a blunder in his
bid on brick, Marshalltown would be
laying brick paving today at s1.95. Ford
accidentally reversed his figures and
quoted s1.95 on curblng and 40 cents OF
paving which made 1t necessary for
the bids TO go over to the next meet
ing. In the meantime the T.-R. made
the discovery that the brick specifica-
tons were loaded with n RATHER test
so severe that no brick could qualify
except when the RATHER was turned by
a friendly hand and with a specified
dimension for the blocks which would
by the fractional part of an inch bar
all brick excepting one make. BY the
next meeting Herman had Joined Greg
DRY and McCarten and brick paving
was dead for once. June "a. 1910. A
second attempt at the same brick was
rejected July II.
A Majority Of the Council Converted.
IE July the administration started
the fight anew by demanding two new
districts, one for concrete and one for
brick. BY this time Hull had Joined
Gregory and McCarten and Herman.
They deferred the concrete indefinitely
knowing full well what would happen
to the bidders and changed the brick
specifications so as to remove
the jokers. The mayor called their new
specifications for brick Joke altho
they had been modelled after those
from other Iowa cities in which brick
paving was being obtained as low as
$50 per yard. BY this time Herman
had Ed Mack and the council embroiled
in an attempt to get some sewer maps
made and the brick paving never came
to letting.
The following spring the new COM
mission was elected and concrete paw
ing was let this summer at $l.1S per
yard, 7,440 cheaper than the granitoid
price II figured on the first district at
tempted. If there are those who still
believe that the T.-R. was playing pol
ittcs in it's fight for a square deal In
paving. they can console themselves
with the thought that the public saves
money when the Ia. plays politics.

lawyers objected McC'arten then
joined Gregory which made impossible
three fourths majority to order
paving over the objection Of the own
ers Of majority Of the street front
age.
Concrete Specifications Amended.
After stormy caucus the specifica-
tons were amended to provide for con-
crete enough different from granitoid
to evade the patents. Granitoid had
been Killed hut friends reported he
mayor as saying that it would be
granitoid or nothing The bids were
| opened on June IS. 1909, but the T.-R.
had been told by contractors that
! they feared the administration
| would take advantage of every
! opportunity TO make trouble for
them and they refused to bid. When
| bids were opened a local contractor, a
! told people we're the only bidders. The
grantoid ma addressed the council in
favor of his patented paving saying
| that the council was specifying his
pavement changed only sufficient to
| evade his patents. The lowest bid then
was 1851 with granitoid at S1.98.
Herman then joined Gregory and Nc
| Carten to reject all bids. Thus as the
| mayor had been quoted as saying TT
would be granitoid or nothing
F., BY this time some one was agitating
petition for brick on Thirteenth
street
Second Rush for Granitoid.
In August second attempt to rush
granitoid thru the council was made
altho the T.-R had shown that the
first bid had been $1,000 in excess Of
! fair profit to the contractor but
! Gregory and McCarten blocked 1t. The
administration was insistent and Nc
Carten confessed that he had been ap-
preached very improperly by the paw

| second time.
Second Year Struggle Renewed.
! In the spring OF 1910 the council at
| tempted again to get bids on concrete
this time adopting the Fond Du Lac
| specified tiOns since the T-R had ex-
posed prices on concrete In that city
ranging from $1.10 to 1882. The coun-
Gil and mayor were now unanimous
hence the T.-R. was suspicious. The
result was the ordering of two districts
paved. very small one with concrete

A Two Years Paving Struggle.
The letting Of contract for con-
crete paving at sl.lS is a vindication
for the T.-R. in its struggle with the
previous adm Illustration to prevent the
letting OF contracts for paving at eX
urbitant figures upon freeze out
notifications; q struggle which lasted
almost continuously for two years
During that time twice it was at
tempted to force thru q letting for
PATENTED granitoid only to he defeated
by q few members of the council upon
information published by the T.-R.;
twice did these few men attempt a let
ting of unpatented concrete only to be
defeated in securing bidders by opposi-
ton which prospective contractors
said threatened them with trouble
if they undertook paving job and
twice did the administration attempt a
letting of contracts for brick paving
upon specifications so adroitly drawn
that only one manufacturers brick
could qualify. again only to be defeat
ed by faction Of the council upon ex-
posure by the T.-R. of the jokers in the
