 LUMBER CONTRACT

so the Industrial Worker for four
 cents per line
 Health and relief reported he had furnished one-half ton of coal to in-
 digent.
 Fire committee recommended that the fire house he painted within and without. also repapered This was or dered done and bids called for. Councilman Mielke then arose to @ point of information. and wanted to know q little about the ordinance for laying of sidewalks. 'I know all about 1t. but for the benefit of the other members, the mayor included. would like to have the same read.
 Arthur Gibson presented a scientific statement on macadamized roads vs. planking. and he was backed up by w. J. Rowe, and several other men who stated that in lumber districts where planking could be had almost for a song. the authorities found that the macadamized road was the best and cheapest.
 J. ]. Sesnon was awarded the con- tract for furnishing tho lumber to the city in the yard at S29.25 this was found to be soc per thousand cheaper than the Seattle bid. after the cart ing, checking, etc., was taken into considerat although Yorkey and Mielke could not see it. even when the figures were presented to them; but they wanted the city to refund the price of the telegram and write apology for the manner in which they had been treated. The better judg- ment of the other members of the council prevailed and the city will not be humiliated, and have to offer apologies to an outside concern for not accepting their bid which proved to be in excess of the lowest.
 After the lumber bid had been set tied then a number of lively tits took place, Yorkey contending that gamb- ling was being conducted all over town. He knew it. the mayor knew it., and everybody knew 1t. and the ordi- nance should be repealed if not op- erative." When pinned down Yorkey could not mention a place where gamb- ling was going on. and would not swear out a warrant for this violation of the city ordinace. and his informa- ton appeared to be based upon his friends wanting to open up a game in over town. and he was being left out In the cold.
