BOARD SPLITS ON
GIVING CONTRACT
Mayor McCOnOchie FayOrs Awarding
Moline Company job, But City
Engineer Is Opposed.
JUHL WILL HAVE FINAL VOICE
Because of Absence of Commissioner,
Tie Vote on FOrty-secOnd Street
Project Could Not Be Broken.

Split in vote held up the letting OF
a paving contract when the municipal
board of local improvements opened
bids today for the improvement OF
Forty-second street between Railroad
and Seventh avenues.
The Moline Concrete Construction
company is the only concern which
made a proposal Practically in every
similar case in the past where there
was only one bidder he has been
given the contract, but today City
Engineer Wallace Treichler voted
against awarding the job to the Mo-
line firm. Mayor McConochie, the only
other member of the board present at
the meeting, voted in favor of award
ing the contract. AS Commissioner
Juhl is out of the city the tie vote will
not be broken until he returns. What
action he probably will take none Of
the officials would venture to predict
today.
Mr. Treichler's opposition to award
ing the contract to the Moline firm, he
said, is the result of variance in prices
between those offered on the Forty
second street job and on another pro-
ject recently installed by the COM
pany. Mr.. Treichler said on the
Forty-second street project the figure
offered is $2.02 per square yard for
brick paving, while on a recent i'm
provement the company made an Of
fer as low as $195
The Mccarthy Improvement COM
pany, only bidder for the work of
paving Twenty-fourth street from
Thirteenth to Seventeenth avenues
with asphalt, was awarded the con-
tract The price is $199 for asphalt,
So cents for concrete curb and gutter
and 35 cents per cubic yard for exca-
waiting.

 Discussing taxation prospects, Herr sVon Heydebrand expressed the grayest concern at the probable burdens to be placed on the wealthiest clascses and feared for the independent existence of the individual states. Things al- ready had gone so far, he said. that the tax payers must place fifth, a fourth or even a considerably larger part of their income upon the altar of the country. He warned the imperial government against levying further di- rect taxes. but admitted that his con- fdence in the government in this mat ter was not unlimited. If direct tax es were placed upon incomes and property from all quarters that must lead to the impoverishment of the wealthier classes, he asserted
 Herr Won Heydebrand proceeded to discuss a passage from the speech from the throne promising reform of the Prussian electoral law He denied there was any need for a change, be- cause the present law, in his belief meets ideally the needs of the state

Finally he thinks 1t is time to interfere, after he has found that his little hints serve no purpose. On his failure, the way Hickman turns for comfort to the love of his little daughter cThelma Salter) is the very picture of the fond father If all ends up with happy reconcilia- ton when Diana Rossmore thinks the leszon has been sufficiently impressed that it IS as much the duty of a man 10 hold his wife as vice versa
