contractor was also doing some work
for the Water Department which had
had preference, and that he had been
delayed by the Engineers Department
in getting lines and grades. Messrs.
Clay and Steele reported a contract for
grading Nicholson Street to the Ma

the fact that the Committee on Streets
secured bids and awarded a contract
without first having the damages as

was not approved until August Is.
Complaint was also made Of the
contract for paving with bituminous

TWENTY-CENT RED
METAL COMING SOON

One Of the largest handlers OF copper
metal in the United States. a man i'm
touch with both producers and consum-
ers and who has his finger on the very
pulse OF copper affairs, In speaking OF
the situation says:
look for 20-cent copper before the
end OF the year. Consumption has over
taken production and IS going on at a
record breaking pace. Consumers Of cop
per are loaded up with orders and the
mills are working TO capacity. The cop
per situation. to my mind. has never
been In such a strong position.
The recent speculation in second hand
copper, particularly I'm Lond.:n. when the
price OF the metal declined, together
with the last Copper Producers state
ment. which showed a surplus in stocks
on hand. have led certain OF the consum-
ers TO believe that they were going 10 be
able 10 purchase the metal below the
present prevailing prices In this l be-
lieve that they will fail. for not only
Will the producers maintain their price of
ia cents, but / think that considerably
higher quotations Will be seen before the
