City Seeks Rsimburssmsnt For Faulty
Work or Rslayins Of Entire Binder
Course and Surface on Mile and 4
Half Of Pavlns-M atsrial Alleged to
Have Been Faulty.

Waterloo April 23.-Written notice OF
the city's intention to start suit against
the Barber Asphal Paving Company, OF
Des Moines, has been forwarded to that
company by the city Solicitor. The
action is the result of the failure of
the company to make any settlement
on the loss resulting from the mile and
a half of asphalt paving which was
built in Waterloo during the season of
1905.
Yesterday the Barber people were
notified that suit would be filed for the
May term of district court to force them
to pay damages or resurface the entire
stretch Of poor paving laid on the
streets Of this city under the contract
awarded them. Unless immediate &C
ton Is taken by the company to make
good on the matter, the suit will come
to trial here.
Involves Large Sum.
Paving aggregating an expenditure
of over 100000 is involved in the
transaction. In order to make the work
right it will be necessary to replace the
entire binder course and asphalt sur
ia cling on all of the streets included IN
the contract. In less than year after
the work had been completed. the paw
ing became disintegrated and showed
signs Of improper construction. Prop
erty owners who had paid for the I'M
provement registered complaints with
the city government and altho repeated
notices were sent to the paving hrn'
no action was taken to remedy the loss.
Streets Included.
East Park avenue, Mulberry street,
East Fifth street, and Walnut and Sixth
streets were included in the list OF
highways paved by the company. On
some Of these streets The paving is
criss- crossed with innumerable cracks
and signs of disintegration which in
dictate an early decay and undoubtedly
will necessitate the repaving OF the
work in few years.
Allese Poor Material.
When the case comes to trial an m
portant issue will be the alleged failure
OF the company to live up to the specifi-
cations provided In the contract, In re-
gard to the construction and material
used.
