: Aid. Richard Watson, the father OF
the Watson saloon ordinance, was
asked, as stated in The Times. Fri
day, about sewer contract, which was
awarded In 1910 to James Hanley
Hanley's bid for the first of the four
sections of the sewer was $24, ,634 .38.
while the highest bid was that OF J.
8. Affeld, for $47,041.50. The only
other bids were for $37,4S1 and $39,-
900. Hanley Is an experienced sewer
contractor, who knew the methods
of contractors In obtaining specifica-
tions for work from the city and how
to bid on II. After he proceeded with
the sewer for several months he COM
planned that he was losing money on
the Job by reason of the fact that he
had encountered soil that made con-
struction more dificult.
Hanley complained that he had no
previous knowledge of the soil struc-
ture, and that 1t was an imposition
for the city to expect him TO complete
the work. Finally, Hanley was reliev.
ed OF the contract by the council, af-
ter the mayor bad once vetoed the
proposition OF relieving him. Hanley
was paid $14,473.72 for his work and
an additional $1,000 for lumber he
was reQNred to leave in the trench.
The contract was given TO John
Grizzel to complete for $32,700 When
the first section of the sewer was
completed II was found that still more
money was needed and $3,009SS was
transferred from another fund 10
complete the payments. No explana-
ton for the transfer is given In the
council proceedings. The work cost
total of $51 .6S2.sS, much more than
