PAVING CONTRACTS
FORMALLY CANCELLED

Upon the advice of the city attor-
ney and with the permission of the
Warren Construction Co., the council
mally cancelled the contracts for the
paving of east Webb street and Col
lege street and rescinded by ordi-
nance all of the proceedings subse-
quent to the passage of the second
resolutions. Bids will be readvertised
for Immediately and the contracts re-
let under the new license agreement
filed by Warren Bros, by which all
contractors may use gravel btulith-
ic at 80 cents per square yard, re-
gardless of the amount of the yard
age.
In acquiescing to the proceedings,
Supt. Lonergan of the Warren Con-
structon Co., submitted a written ex-
PLANTATION, a portion of which fol-
lows.
Although we are absolutely assured
that the clause in the old license
agreement, referred to as the 10000
yard clause, in no sense restricted
free competition in any way, we are

and relieve the city of Pendleton and
its citizens from the expense and an
noyance of such litigation and pre-
vent unjust criticism of the City adj
ministratiou; to have our contract
cancelled as proposed by your clty at

The clause in the Old license agree

"The above agreement made on the
understanding that it applies only to
contracts, work on which car bc

not less than 10000 square yards.

not limit its application to ole cor

without raising the question of any
restriction to free competition.
The object of this clause and its
practical application is apparent on
the lace of it, as it certainly would
not be considered good business poll
icy for a contractor to incur the ex-
pense of several thousand dollars in
transporting and setting up plant
for any less yardage than would
yield profitable return on the in
vestment, and it would also be imma-
terial to the contractor whether this
necessary aggregate yardage was en-
providing the work could he per
formed continuously, so as to release
the plant without expensive delay
