ObstructioniSts.

Il am not champiOning the Warren
Construction Co.. nor do | think any
councilman is. but that company has
contract for laying the kind of pave
ment for which the people have Pc
titioned and has kept faith in that it
has never submitted a bid for more
than s1.45 per square yard, the price
submitted as a tentative bid at the
mass meeting. I believe that the
people who are opposing gravel btu
lithic are doing so. not because they
want another kind of pavement but
because they want no pavement at all.
Some are poor people who can Ill af-
ford the expense. but the principal
agitators have always been anti-im-
provement citizens, obstructionists,
and I venture to say that had we
waited until they and their class en-
dorsed street Improvement, we would
be wadlng in mud on Main street to-
day.
"I have served the city as mayor
and councilman during thirteen years
and I do not believe in all that time
there has ever been an instance of
graft in the council. Any intimation
that the present council is dishonest
in it's relations with the Warren Con-
.struction Co. is made maliciously and
absolutely without warrant of facts.

Property Owners Want It.

Petitions were eventually presented
to the council asking that each of
these streets be paved with gravel
bitulithic and there was more than
fifty per cent of the property affect
ed represented on these petitions. 1t
has been the case with all other
streets ordered paved. The council
has practically had no voice in de-
termining what kind of pavement
should be laid The people have
made their wishes known through pe-
tition and the council has simply
gone through the formality required
by law to carry out the wishes thus
expressed.
''If the city council of Pendleton
We're dishonest body. it would want
nothing better than to have bids sub
mitted to 1t upon a number of diff
ferent kinds of pavement. 1t would
then be up to 1t to determine which
Did was the lowest and best. the kind
OF pavement considered, and If there
were dishonest men on the council
then would be their opportunity to
make profit out of their support of
one pavement over another. AS ii is
now, the council has nothing to do
with selecting the kind of pavement
and, If there is more, than one bid
does not have to make its decision up
on anything but the figures in the
bids"
