MAYOR REFUSES

ing Price
ALL UP TO DATESMAN
Holds 1t Is Not His Business
TO Give Orders to His
Directors

II never order my directors to d,
anything"
That was Mayor Smiths reply today
when asked If he would order Director
OF Public Works Datesman to readver.
tise for street-cleanlng bids for tho two
central districts.
Senator Ware bid the hitherto unheart
Of sum of $780, 900 for tho two dis.
tricts, and when Director Datesman. un.
der pressure Of public opinion. sought
new bids, Ware Topped $4,000 from, that
amount
Tho slight reduction made by the
Senator is taken as an open defiance of
city officials. His action was the prin-
cipal topic Of discussion in City Hall
today. Tho Senator has put it straight
up to the Mayor" was the way the sit
uation was generally described.
Mayor Smith was reached at his Glen
side home this morning
Mayor Questioned
'Mr. Mayor" he was asked, ARE
you going to order Director Datesman
TO readvertise for bids for the two GEN.
tral districts?'
Il never order my directors to do any
thing," lie answered. "The BuIlitt Bill
directs how tEo city Is to be run"
But therp Is much comment about
the smallnes6 of the reduction made by
Senator Ware in his bid," the city's
executive was told.
Il know nothing about it," was his
answer. Il was in Washington yester-
day. l didn't even know the bids were
to be opened yesterday. / wouldn't
even discuss the. matter with you"
Senator Wares 1919 bid Is the only
one much higher than this year and in
many instances estimates are lower than
at present For cleaning the streets
OF the entire city under former Mayor
Blankenburg IN 1912 only $1,511 900
was paid.
According to Director Datesman. the
contracts will not be awarded today
AS it is n matter involving millions of
dollars. It warrants my earnest con-
sideration," the public work department
head said.
Seems No Surprise
Before refusing to cut his original
estimate of $1,5O0O00 for next year.
Senator Ware was Il frequent visitor at
the Offices OF Mayor Smith and Director
Datesman, and the final figures appar-
emily proved no surprise to these off,
cials. Coming as the high bid does in
the face of DateSmau's Nauu,.u Iuun-
omy" plan of cutting minimum labor and
other troublesome clauses out OF the
specifications. it leaves Senator Ware in
the position Of being the only street
cleaner to defy the administration.

$4,000 net increase over his record
