CONVENTION HALL PLAN
KILLED FOR SUMMER
Councils Fail to Act and
$1,4OO,OOO Fund Will Remain
Idle.

Councils have completely ignored the
project to erect Convention Hall during
this summer. and $1.4OOOOO of loan funds.
definitely borrowed for that purpose, will
remain stagnant in the City Treasury,
uselessly consuming interest and sinking
fund charges.
II is now impossible for the Councils
to authorize the construction Of the hall
this summer. unless special sessions are
held within the next few days. That
course of action is deemed highly i'm
probable. The meeting of Councils today
will terminate legislative work until Sep
tember.
The Republican Organization leaders in
Councils demonstrated conclusively that
comes to Philadelphia next autumn 1t
will come through the efforts of public
spirited citizens and business men. who
have no official connection with the
municipality. Tho Organization Council
men obstinately refused TO give con-
sideration 10 the plan to erect the Con-
vention Hall this summer as a meeting
place for the Republican convention. in
spite OF the pleas OF hundreds of bust
ness men in all sections of the city
A determined effort to attract the ma
tional convention to Philadelphia win be
Instituted within the next few days by
Republicans who deplore the apathy OF

work on the Northeast Boulevard In 1918
he set his price at SO cents per cubic yard.
This was a cut of 81 cents per cubic yard.
or little more than 81 per cent.
Taking his present contract for grading
the Plaza at S5OO,OOO as a basis and flgur-
ing on his standard charge of SO cents
per cubic yard, this means that on the
old basis the city would have paid $685. 900
for the work in 1918, thus saving the city
$1S500
When there was another bid for sub
grading work in 1914, the contract was let
to the Barber Asphalt Company at "a
cents per cubic yard, or a cut OF 40 per
cent. under the McNichol standard OF
1908, saving to the city of s225, 900, ac-
cordlng to the 1903 standard.
But as Senator McNichol lost this con-
tract, when bids were again asked for
the Plaza recently he decided to make
sure OF this work, with the result that he
slashed his bid to 2S cents per cubic yard.
This is a cut of 55 cents, or 66 plus per
cent, under the Senator's 1908 standard.
The total of this present contract ap-
proximates 100000. Figured on the old
McNichol basis of SO cents per cubic yard.
the work would have cost the city $780,,
900 more. or ss30,OOO instead of s5OO,O0O.
The second contract exhibit which
shows that while the cost of living has
SCARED steadily higher. the cost Of con-
tract work has dropped with almost
plummet-like rapidity, is in the prices bid
