made by this company gave the city
the right to collect the assessments
which the commissioners estimated,
would mean a saving of 10000
II was stated that property owners
would have the choice OF paying their
assessments in a lump sum, for which
they would be allowed per cent dis
count, or in a primary and nine addi-
tional instruments on which the inter-
est charge would be per cetn.
The bids We're opened at a meeting
in the afternoon, but the contract. was
not awarded until night In the
meantime City Manager Hebenstrett,
at The instruction of the commission
ers, made a comparison of the bids
and, based on his figures, made a
recommendation to the commissioners
at the night meeting He said in part:
My reason for recommending that
the bitulithic pavement be accepted
is because there is not sufficient diff
ference in the price based on 6 per
cent paper to warrant acceptance of
asphaltiC concrete or reinforced con-
crete, The difference between rein
forced concrete and bitulithic pave
ment is 7 cents per square yard and
those who would pay cash and receive
the per cent discount offered by the
FL PaSo Bitulithic company, and not
offered by Cotey Il Black would over
come this difference of the additional
: cents per square yard, making btu
lithic pavement cheaper than the re-
inforced concrete on cash basis Z
cents per square yard"
The Eel Paso company made two
other bids for the streets IN addition
to that for bitulithic pavement-one
for asphaltic concrete at $2.45 and one
for reinforced concrete at $2.75.
Cotey & Black made two bids for the
street work, one of $2.67, based on G
per cent paper. and the other OF $2.5S,
based on 8 per cent paper, There
was no difference as to the material
concgete.
In regard to the alley paving the
city manager said:
THE alley paving is substantially
equal in either of the bids Six per
cent paper makes little difference for
Cotey e Black and $3.50 for the FL
Paso Bitulithic company. which diff
ference again would be overcome if
all property owners We're to pay cash.
Assuming, however. that not more
than so per cent of 'the property
owners will pay cash for the alley
construction, | would recommend that
Cotey & Black receive the contract
for alley paving"
The commissioners were willing to
accept the recommendation but it
was stated, Cotey & Black We're not
so the contract for this work as well
as the street paving went to the FL
Paso company.

One Other Bid Received,

The Ell Paso Bitulithic company Will

bitulithic material, costing S2.65 per
square yard, including a five-inch
concrete base, and the alleys with
plain concrete, six inches deep. cost
ing $3.50 per square yard, These fig
ures do not represent the total cost as
curbing and guttering, sewer pipe

rails of the street car tracks and eX-
tend outside the rails for foot on
both sides, costing S3.5S per lineal
foot for single tracks and $717 for
double tracks.
City Manager Hebenstreit recon-
mended a division of the work by
which the Bitulithic company would
be given all the street paving and
Cotey & Black all the alley paving
and that on the street car tracks, but
Cotey & Black refused to accept, it
was said, because they We're not given
any of the street paving. The Ell Paso
company then was given the entire
project.
The Clifton company bid $2.47 for
the alley paving, the Ritulithic COM
pany's bid for this work being cents
higher on the face The Btulithic
company agreed to do the street car
