APPROVES PLAN FOR
CAPITOL BUILDING
OFFICE STRUCTURE COSTING
5000, 900 TO BE ERECTED
NEXT YEAR.

The state capitol commission ap-
office building to be erected as one
of the proposed new capitol group at
a cost estimated at 100000, at a
meeting last Saturday.
Wilder & Whites contract as SUI
pervising architects was renewed for
the work at 6 per cent of the expen.
ditures as pay for plans and construc-
tion supervision.
Bebb e. Gould, Seattle architects,
were also registered as associated
with the New York firm in the work.
The Seattle architects will be official.
Fly responsible for building opera.
tions as representatives of the New
York firm in the absence of either of
the latter's architects.
w. R. Wilder left Immediately
after the meeting for New York, ex-
pecting to return in December with
completed plans for the new state
Office building. 1t is to be two sto-
ries above the basement, but will
conform with the Wilder & White
group plan the commission has
adopted. and will cost approximately
100000.
1t is the commissions present in
tention to call for bids on the con.
tract as soon as possible after plans
are permanently adopted in order to
complete the building in time to re-
lieve present state house congestion
before the legislature meets again in
1921, unless building conditions this
winter prevent.
Just how many state departments
will be accommodated in the pro.
posed Office building cannot be def.
nitely decided until final plans are
gone over. 1t is roughly figured that
the states insurance business, in
Guiding workmen's compensation
medical aid and state safety work,
will occupy one entire floor. The
governors office, secretary of state,
treasurer and auditor will probably
remain in the old building while the
legislature meets there. these depart.
ments being the most closely con.
cerned with legislative procedure.
The new office building will occupy
part of the permanent capitol site
east of the old foundation for the
main building.

WANT STREET PAVED

RODGERS AVENUE RESIDENTS
NOW OBJECT TO GRAVEL BE-
TWEEN CAR TRACKS.

Resident along Rodgers avenue,
on the Westside, now being paved,
made an appeal to the council Tues
day evening to have the pavement
laid the full width of the street in
stead of only outside the street car
tracks, and offered to pay the addi-
tional cost of the actual paving
Inasmuch as the Olympia Light &
Power company would be put to ex-

nal plan through the laying of
heavier rails, the council, on motion
of Councilman Forstell, referred the
proposition to the street committee
and city attorney, to see what settle.

Under the terms of the paving con-
tract and the improvement as origi.
nally planned. that portion of the
street inside the street car tracks was
to be filed with gravel. Sidney Ran.
kin, addressing the council in behalf
of the petition. declared the gravel
would be dangerous and that water
would work down through it and
undermine the pavement, and said
that 80 per cent of the resident prop
erty owners want fully paved street
and are willing to pay for it. He es-
timated the additional cost at $55 or
$50 per 5O.foot lot.
After discussing the proposition
for some time, the council appeared
to agree with the sentiment expressed
by Mayor Mills. that ''if.there is any
way we can complete the street. we
ought to do It," ~

COUNCIL AWARDS
SIX MORE CONTRACTS
PROVENfENTS TOTAL $14,528
OTHERS PLANNED.

Contracts for six improvements in
various parts of the city, totalling
$14,528, were awarded by the coun-
Gil Tuesday evening, three being let
to Contractors Werts, Bigelow & Co.
Of this city, two to Contractors White
& Wright. also of this city, and the
sixth to Jim Pain, an Italian from
Tacoma.
The bidding on these jobs was a
little more spirited than on recent
calls issued by the city and in all but
one case the contracts were awarded
for an amount substantially less than
the engineers estimate. In that one
case the price exceeded the estimate
only $3.50.
The grading and gravelling of Bige-
low avenue from Central to the east
city limits, and the construction of
sewer in it, two separate contracts,
were awarded to Werts, Bigelow &
Co., the former for S4,149.2O, $4.30
less than the estimate, and the latter
for $2,693.SO, $224.7O below the es-
innate. This firms offer for the
sewer work was identical with that of
Contractors James & Hendricks, but
the council decided to give the same
contractor both jobs.
White & Wright will pave the
alleys in block 73. Sylvester's plat,
bounded by Third, Fourth, Columbia
and Water streets, for $1.ss2.5o, or
$107.50 less than the estimate. This
firm also got the job of paving the
alley from Main to Columbia be-
tween Tenth and Union, for ST.
014.20, $4O.55 less than the estimate.
The other contract awarded to
Werts, Bigelows & Co. was the grad
ing and gravelling OF Tenth street
from Ounce to Eastside. for $795.50,
$50 so more than the estimate.
The job awarded to Jim Pain the
Italian contractor, was the laying of
water mains in Aubert. Dickinson
and Hayes streets on the Westside,
on bid of $3.50. $432 less than the
engineers estimate.
All the contracts contain new
provision that work shall not be
started until cement is at hand.
In connection with the award of
these contracts. the council unani-
mously passed motion made by
Councilman Forstell. instructing City
Engineer Wood to see to it that all
contractors live up to plans and spe-
cificatiOns and every provision of
their contracts.
After the meeting 1t was explained
that the council had reason to sus-
pect that Contractor Jim Pain was
not familiar with the provision that
has been included in all city contracts
this year. requiring the employment
of 80 per cent OF home labor, this
suspicion being confirmed. it was
said, when Pain, after being awarded
the job, is reported to have requested
that the contract be made out to Pain
& Co. instead of to himself.
In addition to awarding these con
tracts, the council gave notice of its
intention to lay concrete sidewalks
and crosswalks on Central street from
Spring TO Bigelow, the cost Of which
is estimated at S1,5SS.60. 1t also
passed the ordinance calling for the
grading and gravelling of Williams,
Farragut and Midway avenues, on the
Westside hill. to obtain dirt with

COUNCIL SAYS CITY
ENGINEER IS 0KEA
VOTES DOWN MOTION TO PUT
HIM UNDER JURISDICTION OF
STREET COMMITTEE.

city Engineer Kay r. WOOD
emerged with colors flying from an
other attempt to place his depart
council street committee, when the
council, by vote of 5 to 2. refused
to pass a motion made by Council
man j. H. Wohleb, seconded by
Councilman c. B. Knox, Tuesday
evening.
At the councils last meeting in
gineer under the street committee
was made by Knox and voted down
Wohleb, who was not present at that
meeting, presented it again this week
and before the vote was taken every
councilman had had something to say
about it,
Pointing out that the engineer is
the Only city appointee not directly
under the jurisdiction Of any com.
mittee, Wohleb said he made the mo
tiOn, not as any reflection on the in
cumbent. but to have it of record.
Haycox was on his feet right away
protesting that under such an ar
rangement that the engineer would
spend most of his time running
around locating members of the com
mittee and insisting that he would be
greatly hampered in his work. Woh
leb replied that there was no inten
tion to hamper the official. and sug-
gested that the city might not always
be fortunate enough to have as eff
cient an engineer as at present and
he thought the street committee
should be recognized as authority
Councilman Harris. suggesting that
the city might not always be fortu
nate enough to have as efficient o
street committee as at present-they
passed the bouquets around consider
ably - said he agreed with Haycox's
view, and declared the city engineer
should have full control and entire
responsibility, adding that if any
errors were made the council would
know who made them.
Knox spoke up then and insisted
that the purpose of the motion was to
give the council check beforehand
instead of waiting until a job were
finished. and to advise with the engi
neer.
Chairman Forstell of the street
committee told them that if they
wanted to put the engineer under the
committee they could not do it with
any more authority by ordinance than
he Is at present.
"The engineer is thoroughly under
the street committee and always has
been in tht six years I have been on
the council" Forstell said. "The
committee has all the authority II
needs now. and if we think he is doing
something wrong we have the power
to stop him until we can take the
matter up with the council He ought
