COUNCIL LAST NIGHT
Spokane and Seattle Firms Are Close
Together on Figures-Bitullthjc
Also Extremely Low

When bids were opened in the city
council last night for the paving work
in districts six, seven, and eight,
Moscow was confronted with some or
the lowest bids for paving material
ever submitted in this section OF the
country. There were six separate bids
flied, but the two lowest bidders were
the Standard Asphalt Paving company
of Spokane and the Washington Paw
ing company of Seattle and the COM
pilation of figures on most of the spec
F, ifications were SO close as to fail to
indicate just which firm had the low
est bid The bid of F. ]. Keiser rep
resenting the Warren Construction
company, largely layers of bitulithic,
disclosed some astonishingly low fig
ures on this class of paving material.
Following the reading of bids last
night the city council adjourned until
tonight in order to give City Engineer
Harvey Smith an opportunity to tabul-
ate the bids and to classify them. 1t
| is expected that the council will de-
termine tonight on the class OF pave
ment desired and may then award the
contract, though it is possible 1t may
require several days to reach con-
clusion in the awarding of contracts.
1t was largely developed today about
town that a concrete base would be
preferable over a bituminous or rock
base and it is expected the concrete
base will be basis of selection by the
council. No intimation was forthcom-
ling this afternoon as to VINO the
|possible successful bidder would be.

noon but some figures were available

REASONS FOR ELECTING McMAHAN

There is growing conviction among the voters of
Marion county that L. H. McMahan should be elected
district attorney because of his superior qualifications
for the office over his competitors 1t is likely that his
majority at the polls will reflect this conviction in the
most decisive manner
Mr. McNIahan is an independent candidate in the full
est sense both of the leading political parties having
nominees in the field He is without partisan backing be-
cause he urged into the race by business men and
farmers who realize that man of positive character
and good legal ability should be chosen to fill this i'm
portant place. McMahan has shown in many instances
that he knows how to fight an important case through
court and win it in the end He is fearless and ndepend
ent but fair and just prosecutor Politicians are not
backing McMahan's campaign but committee of tax
payers is behind it and back Of them the thousands
of voters who want to district attorney elected who
is qualified for the place
Marion county will participate in the building of a
bridge at Salem next year. costing $5OOOO or S2000oo
and there will be contracts to draw up and other legal
matters the district attorney must oversee. Should a
man who practced law in his life be entrusted with
this work? That is only one of the many reasons why
Marion county should elect L. H. McMahan, and at this
time looks if there question about the voters
doing their duty this matter and recording that verdict
by decisive majority
