PAVING BILL PROMISES
 DEVELOPMENT 0F SCANDAL

Phoenix, Arizona, March 28, 1917-- What promises to be one of the big gest scandals in the history of Ari- zona legislation appears to be devel- oping in connection with the altera- tions of bill amending the paving act of 1912, which passed the legis. lature and was signed by the govern or. It now developes that the bill was so changed as to entirely elimi- nate the provisions for alternate bids by which the legislative bodies of cities and towns could call for bids on more than one set of specifications, and following their submission leave to 51 per cent of the property owners along the proposed improvement the question as to what sort of pavement should be laid. The bill as drawn was an apparently innocent measure to relieve towns of certain publication rules. ....-. a...
 It now developes that the damaging amendments were added to the bill after it had passed the senate and while it was under consideration in the house. It also appears that the bill was never read the third time in full in the house as provided by the constitution, and that it passed the house on roll call without being read in full. The constitution provides that all measures must be read the third time in full.
 The discovery that the bill elimi- mated the alternate system of bidding was not discovered until after the measure had been signed by the gov ernor. It was then called to the at tention of the city commission of Phoenix that the alternate system of bidding might be abolished by the bill, the suggestion being made by the representative of paving com- pany. As originally drawn the bill was designed to exempt towns in which there is no daily paper from publishing notices of proposed paving for ten weeks by shortening the pub lication time to two weeks. When the bill reached the house from the sen ate, it was found that it was in need of amendments to correct certain technical errors, and it is charged that in the ostensible correction of these errors the alternate system of bidding was stricken out.
 Paving contracts amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars are being held up in Phoenix and Douglas pending settlement of the question.
