v Ill PRESENT 7
PETITION ON
TUESDAY

A petition which is already being
literally signed and which will he
presented to the city commissioners
Tuesday afternoon will request the
council to offer for vote at the August
special election an amendment to the
city charter providing for the con-
struction of paving district by con-
tract
As The Sentinel has frequently
pointed out there is a general objec-
ton to the hard-and-fast provision of
the charter document which prevents
any work being done by contract.
This provision was doubtless placed
in the document with the best of In
tentions, the idea being to limit the
graft possibilities of the commission
ers. The same provision, however.
adds immeasurabely to the expense or
asphalt paving when it forces the
commissioner of highways to do the
work himself.
Asphalt paving requires a great
deal of expensive machinery, which,
if purchased by the city would hardly
ever be used again and would almost
double the cost. Paving contractors
carry this apparatus with them and
with their perfected organization of
experienced men are prepared to do
work of this kind much more cheap
ly than any public officer who is not
regularly engaged in the business.
OF course, there are those who will
cry that this petition is blow at the
charter by its enemies when as a
matter of fact it is not only favored
by the friends of the commission form
but is fathered by the commissioner
of highways himself who recognizes
the limitations of his equipment in
handling a paving of this kind.
The petition, which will require
but about 200 names, will read as
follows:
