James II. Gwinn is the new secre-
tary of the Pendleton Commercial as
sociation. At a meeting of the board

EAST WEBB STREET Will Be NEXT
THOROUGHFARE FOR IMPROVEMENT

East Webb street from Cottonwood
to Court is the next thoroughfare
scheduled for paving providing an ef-
fective remonstrance does not block
proceedings to that end and 1t is i'm
probable that one will, inasmuch as
the petition presented to the council
last evening was signed by about As
per cent of the property owners in
the proposed district, while, it is said,
another eight or ten per cent have
agreed not to sign remonstrance.
1t is also probability that College
street, from Court to Webb will be
ordered paved. For the past week a
petition asking for such improvement
has been in circulation and, while it
was not presented to the council last
night, it was reported that the delay
was caused by the inability to get
the members of the county court to-
gether in order to get the county's $
signature to the petition. 1t Is said
that the court favors the proposed
Improvement and that the petition
when presened will contain more than
fifty per cent of the property hold
ers affected.
Craig Kicks Again.
A diversion from the regular rou-
tine was afforded last evening by the
appearance of Henry Craig before
the council to register another "kick''
on the west Court street pavement,
and. when Supt. Lonergan of the
Warren Construction Co. resented the
charges made, considerable warmth
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-10-31

was developed. The timely adjourn
ment of the council brought an alb
rupt end to the dispute.
The burden of Craigs contentious
was that the pavement as laid on
west Court street does not comply
with the specifications and he CEN
sured the council for accepting the
pavement without making a thorough
examination to determine whether or
not four inch base had been laid.
throughout Also he declared that
the curhing. was rotten" piece of
work and stated that he could back
up his charges by the opinion of
half dozen disinterested business men.
In reply to the charges, Chairman
Cole of the street committee declar-
ed that he had visited Court street at
least three times each day during the
paving operations and that, in his
opinion, the company had fulfilled all
the requirements. Later, when City
Engineer Kimbrell arrived at the
meeting, he was called upon to state
what examination he had made OF
the work. He declared that he had
cut into the pavement in at least
twenty places and found the base to
be four inches or over in depth in all
but two where it was probably a
quarter of an inch short and that in
his opinion the pavement was laid
according to specifications.

What effect will Vice President

These are question numerously ask

his name upon the ballot, at least i'm
