A NEW PAVING MIDDLE.

The smooth paving OF Broad Street
seems about to be neutrality-suspicious.
Tho company to which the contract
was awarded is unable to get the as
phalt blocks adopted rs the best ma
torial at reasonable price from the
manufacturing company, which was
also q bidder on the work. The man.
ufaeturers. 1t is said. are asking
prohibitive price for their material
AS result. the successful bi~~ers
ask to be released from their con-
tract II they are not released and
refuse to execute the work at what
they assert is loss. they Will forfeit
bond of $1,000.
There Is no apparent reason why
this bond should not be forfeited. It
was the province of the bidder to de-
terminc his risks before submitting
a price. Certainly the city will lose
far moro than $1,000 by the delay.
But the true issue is not as to whetn-
or tho city shall claim the forfeit.
1t is whether the paving of Broad
Street Is to be postponed until 1t
Will have to be completed after bad
weather sets in. Immediate action
should be taken TO settle this oues-
ton. The loss OF time, tho incon-
venience to the whole city of hav-
Ing Its main retail street torn up in
definitely. the money loss 10 Tho mcr-
chants along the street, arc manifest
reasons for speed in enforcing the
present contract. or letting a new one.
If the action of the asphalt block
manufacturers is an attempt TO hold
UP the city and force their bid upon
the Council. 1T would not be tho part
OF wisdom to give them the contract.
A full and immediate investigation
OF this matter is necessary. The city
is not forced TO accept the demands
of any company. II there is no COM
petition in tho manufacture OF the
type OF paving selected, 1t seems
probable that all future extensions of
this work would be accompanied by
the same objections. No contractor
would he permitted to underhid the
cheaply he could do the accessory
work
In this connection The Times Dis
patch again points out the use OF
wood blocks for paving in other
cities for similar streets. 1t has
proved both satisfactory and durable.
The Initial cost is reduced ty INC
long wearing qualities OF the paving.
There Is ample competition to secure
low bids. But whatever the final ac-
ton we roassert the main proposi-
tons. Broad Street must be smooth
paved. The work should be begun at
the earliest possible moment. Fur
thermore, no material should be used
that will enable its manufacturers to
force the city into accepting It's bids.
