avenue paving. The Union Paving
Company. OF New York, which Is at
present doing work for the city, was
Inc only firm TO submit a bid accord
Ing to,the specifications. The Warren
oulnlan Asphalt Company declared their
inability to make any bid under the
present conditions OF lsbor and cost OF
materials. The Hastings Pavement
Company. Of New York, were willing
20 do only the top pavement, at price
OF $3.50 per square yard for asphalt
block, the foundation to be prepared
and laid by the city, virtually no DID
at all.
The Union Paving Company gave a
price for laying sheet asphalt includ-
ing grading and laying the concrete
foundation Of si.13 per square yard,
using Standard, Prudential or United
states asphalt. For vitritled block De
tween the cutters. including the grading
and concrete foundation, they bid sb1z
per square yard, using the Wesport
Paving Company's vltrlfied brick and
asked the same price. S6.t2 per square
ward. for vitrined block between and
along the rails. They viii take no re-
sponsibility for strikes or increased
freight rates.
In 1916. the Union Paving Company
did a lob for the city, Including grading
and foundation, for which they charged
81 50 per square yard for sheet asphalt,
80 80 per square yard for vitrifled block
along the pavement and $40 per square
ward for vitrihed block between the
rails. That means that the present
prices are three times what they were
two years ago.
"The prices are practically prohibit
five" said President George w. Sparks,
Of the Street and Sewer Directors. The
board withheld action on the awards
for the present.
"What can be done2" asked Mr..
Sparks. ut seems as II every possible
obstacle had been put in front OF the
Delaware avenue paving project. Labor
Is way up and scarcely Obtainable, and
these paving prices are well nigh I'M
possible. II somebody could only tell
us what the prices are likely TO be
three years from now, 1t would be OF
assistance in knowing what the city
should do now"

clared likewise: "The prices are pro-

NOW kick" AGAINST
THE PAVING TAX
One Property Owner Tells
Board He Will Not Pay
the Assessment
BOARD SAYS 1T
ISN'T RESPONSIBLE

Frank r. Jones appeared before the
Street and Sewer Department this
morning relative to the property at No.
1909 King street, the paving before
which he claimed was not improved
and the assessment tax on which he
Indignantly stated he would not pay.
Mr.. Jones was so exasperated that he
turned his back on the board and
walked out Of the meeting room.
The board made an explanation, fol-
lowing Mr.. Jones appearance, disclaim-
ing any responsibility for the assess
ment paving tax law as passed by the
recent session OF the legislature. The
following Official statement was given
by the board:
'The bill which the Board Of Street
and Sewer Directors. approved, provid-
ed that after the passage OF the act,
an assessment based upon the ply
Iical value Of all paved streets should
be made by the city engineers, trans
mitted to the tax collectors, and a tax
thereon set up.
The legislature in its Judgment, dis
regarded this bill and demanded that
the one now in effect, a duplicate OF
eAD bHA+4hARAN 4oNf Dt N4aAAltf e44 ~
was done.
1T is the judgment OF this board
that II would have been much more
Just 10 property owners II a true as
sessment Of actual value, based upon
the condition Of the street, should
have been made instead Of an arbi-
trary valuation based on the width OF
the street and totally disregarding the
condition OF the paving thereon.
This board has been harshiy crltl-
cized for the passage Of this act. This
board did not draw It up. and did not
approve it. except in so far as It was
necessary in order to h2ve passed an
abutting paving tax law. waich is Of
the greatest value TO the city. and the
legislature refused 10 pass this unless
some law should be enacted assessing
streets previously laid.
I'VE approved Of the theory but not
the method"
The Street and Sewer Directors have
received a multitude Of complaints
from people objectlng TO their paving
tax bills, saying It was unfair for them /
60 pay as much for old paving as for
new. The board agrees with them, but
cannot set aside a State law.
