BY DAY and NIGHT

Plans for the protection Of Rich.

Water Works company. northeast Of

be carried out at once.
This information was impaired to

Howard A. Dill, superintendent Of the

Mr.. Dill stated that arrangements
have been made for placing number
of electric lights all around the pump
ing station and, in addition, the com.
pany will employ two armed guards to
patrol the property, one on day duty,
the other on night duty. Only people
who have legitimate reasons for en-.

Mr.. Dill stated that he realized that
some people might hold the opinion
that the action the company is tax.

Engineer Mueller Will Insist
That County Avoid Paying
Outrageous Figures for
Materials.
CONTRACTORS LEARY

Present indications are that the
granting of contracts for the Main and
South G street bridges will again be
delayed. 1t had been planned to let
both contracts the first week in May.
When the county commissioners
meet Monday afternoon to accept
plans for the bridges and for the pur-
pose of advertising for bids, Bridge
Engineer Mueller will explain the war
situation to them carefully.
Six contractors who are planning to
bid on the bridges have written me
this week asking that the granting of
contracts be delayed about sixty days."
said Mueller today.
Conditions Return to Normal.
1T is the general belief among con-
tractors that conditions will return to
normal within two months.
Il will ask the commissioners not to
take any chances of having to pay out
rageous prices for the bridges merely
for the sake of speedy construction.
Since the bridges have been delay
ed this long, it would work no special
hardships on the people to delay them
q Wnlle longer.
Large steel corporations will accept
no contracts and guarantee delivery
within year. Cement companies are
also hesitating to take contracts for
immediate delivery. Transportation
presents another question.
War Situation 10 Factor.
All these problems in the time when
the seriousness of the war situation
cannot be foretold would tend to keep
contractors from bidding on the
bridges or II they did bid. they would
be forced to raise their prices to guar
antee extra risks.
Some county officials when inform
ed of Mr.. Mueller's stand today sug-
gested that the commissioners might
advertise for bids with the under
standing that the granting of contracts
be postponed If the situation warrants.
