Contract Let

The council in adjourned meeting
Monday evening awarded the con.
tract for the construction of main
sewer No. 8 in the north part of the
city and the outlet to the same tc
B. ]. Schultz for a total of $1,000 "a
for the three sections. The other
Chanute contractors competing fol-
the work were c. o. Boyce and
Perry Taylor. Five bids from out
of town contractors were considered.
According te-the previous action
of the council the advertisement for
the bids required that they be SUBJ
mitted in three divisions. The first
part called for the construction of
the outlet which extends from the
intersection of East Chestnut street
and North Ashby avenue to the
manhole where main sewers I and
connect with the main sewer out
let of the city. The second section
as planned extends west from the
beginning of the outlet to Forest
avenue, and the third is the sewer
to be laid west of Forest.
Schulte's bid was 60 cents per
foot in section I, 81 cents in section
2, and $1.o4 in section 8. He made
the same price for all sizes of drain
tile in given section. He added
a rider to his bid which stipulated
that he was to receive all or none of
the contract. The division of the
construction work into three sec.
tions had been determined by the
council with the idea that the con-
tract might possibly be divided
between contractors.
The council in their discussion
of the different bids sought to di.
vide the contract so as to secure a
lower price for the city than offered
by Schultz. Boyce's bid of 6625
cents on section I, made him the
low man for that division amount
ing to $3.50. 66. Perry Taylor's
bid of 81 cents on section 2
amounted S35o3.97. His bid for
section 3 was IS cents, $I.oo and
Sill respectively for the lengths
of IL, 10 and 8 inch tile for which
the city engineers specifications
called. His total bid for section 3
was $42I2. I6 which was the lowest
for this division.
The total of Boyce's bid on
section I and Taylor's for and 8 |
vas $e64a. 7o which thus was yet
so56.55 higher than that of Schultz
o whom the council awarded the
contract.

Seeks Co-Operation

together. E. A. Colaw a membel
of the committee who lives south
east of town phoned in to BIZ
counted for the work though he
| could not get in for the meeting.
The committeeman plan at once
to get in touch with the township
trustees, road overseers and farmer
friends in their respective districts
to ascertain the extent of the
cooperation which may be secured.
A state law obligates the road over
seers to designate certain main lines
of road on which they shall hire
dragging at the rate of SO cents a
mile for single and IS cents a mile
for double dragging. The maxi
mum expense per year for such
dragging is however to be SIS and
81 respectively.
AS some farmers are willing to
drag roads If drag is furnished
them the Auto Club will be ready
to fp'nish the drag provided the
work done is upon a mile or more
of continuous dragged road. The
committeeman or some autoist
designated by him would inspect
the work done after each rain,
Not only is the Club willing to
furnish the drag but also to pay
the men who drag the roads in ad-
dition to what they receive from
the county provided the farmers
truly cooperate.
The Auto Club feels that good
roads are a distinct advantage to
the farmers who drive buggies and
wagons and to the business men
who profit by the easier access to
Chanute. The committee prefers
to pay a fiat rate for dragging a
certain amount of road throughout
the years at times when the roads
are In proper condition. The
arrangements would thus be vir-
tually by contract but they would
necessarily be largely made through
the road overseers.
The plan contemplates having
the roads dragged to the north
line, to Shaw, near to
Thayer, and towards Rest and Buff
falo on the west, but always with
he idea of securing the cooperation
If the good roads advocates in these
owns and beyond which are reach

Senator Rayner Says Roosevelt
Needed No Urging. ):

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Reversal OF

his Columbus address last week was
denounced in, the senate by Senator
Isidor Rayner of Maryland as the
most dangerous doctrine ever brought
forward by any one who has the
slightest regard for the stability of
our institutions and whose opinion is
entitled to any weight or respect"
Senator Rayner declared that in dis
cussing the, sx-president, who again is
8 candidate for the Republican nomi.
nation for president, he did not speak
as partisan because he believed the
Republicans could nominate the man
who would be. easier TO defeat. OF
Colonel Rooseyelt's entry into the field
Senator Rayaer said:
Theirs was no need OF any persua-
sion whatever to induce him to enter
the field. There was no dra gging of
CincinRatIs from the pillow and there
was no necessity that any Mark An
tony should thrice on the Lupercal
offer MIN the crown. He was willing
to. come with his own. crown and
frame a constitution of his own in ac-
cordance with the charming and allur-
ing platform that he has promulgat-
ed
"If proposition of this sort had
been advanced by an ordinary agita-
tor or by an anarchist no attention
