PAVING Once
AGAIN IN AIR
CITY COUNCIL FACES NEW
DIFFICULTY IN IMPROVE
MENT PROGRAM,

Will the city council be obligated
to take steps to compel the Warren
Construction company to begin their
paving operations?
That is the question which has been
uppermost for the past few DAYS in
the mind of each of the city fathers
with prospects. unless conditions
change radically within the next few
days OF calling special meeting for the
purpose OF devising some means of
meeting the present emergency. Sew
eral weeks ago the Warren Construc-
ton company officials were openly as
serting that unless j. H. Forbes, water
works contractor. would be able to
give them clean field to begin opera
lions that they would dismantle their
equipment, take portion oftheir men
from the local field and leave for the
winter. Under those conditions and
the fact that Mr.. Forbes found it inn
possible to obtain materials even un-
der most urgent -als, the fear was
prevalent that paving would not be
installed until next summer.
More recent Developments, it is said.
indicate that the Warren Construction
company has shown no inclination to
begin paving operations in spite of the
fact that they practically have clean
field at present. No reason for the
recent change of attitude has been
given and members of the citv coun-
Gil fear that some action may be neces-
sar'. to compel them to beein opera
tons.
Water Works About comolete.
Installation OF water mains on
North Kimball was completed early
in the week and the way cleared for
the paving company. Since that time.
excavation has been going rapidly for
ward and to all earances, the time
will be short when cement will be
pouring. But so far, actual steps to
begin that last phase have not been
taken, according to report. and indica-
tons point to an unwillingness on the
part Of the company to start that work
this fall.
Mr.. Forbes contract for the installo-
ton OF the new water works system
expires today. In lieu of the fact that
he has not completed the work, he will
be given considerable extension Of
time. Payments aggregating about
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1919-10-10

$1O,OOO have been made to Mr.. Forbes
by the city council on the work that
he has already done.
Complete supplies of material for
the completion of this phase of the
city Improvement program have, at
last arrived and nothing stands in the
way for the immediate installation of
the remainder of the city water works
other than the actual time and labor
required in installing it. Considerable
work yet remains to be done on Clevc-
land boulevard.

BOlSE-(SpeciaD-A tilt between
State Treasurer John w. Eagleson
and members of the state board of
examiners Saturday over refusal of the
examining board to ratify increases in
salary given by Eagleson to three of
his clearks bears promise of being the
breach at the state house.

AS usual in such squabbiles, there is
much to be said on either side But
more important than the various an
giles of the dispute is the significance

felt about the statehouse, but this is
Governor Davis, Secretary of State
Robert o. Jones and Attorney Cen

So is Eagleson. But Eagleson's seem
ing connection with the Nonpartisan
league, made quite plain during the
last election when he courted and re-
ceived the leagues endorsement. has
been an embarrassment to him in as
sociating with other Republican state
officials who do not favor such prin-
ciples as those espoused bv the league
and who openly opposed il at the last
election.
Several members of the admins
tration claim Eagleson has been fer
some time criticizing the adpinistra
ton and that at heart he has been an
enemy. Eagleson claims. on the other
hand, that the other members of the
administration have slapped at him
several times.

1t may or may not be siguiiican'
that it is rumored about Boise that
either Eagleson or his brother. Mavor

for governor. probably on the Non

As result of the salary dispute the

to do so to the board, which will pass
upon the justification for the raise.

fact that high school has not officially

athletes in many instances sacrificing
substantial additions to their summer
earnings to devote time to football
practice.
Other town in the Boise valley have
opened their high schools and foot
ball practice has been under way for
at least two weeks. Several games
are scheduled for Saturday. Caldwell,
OF course. cannot have a game until
school opens and considerable prac-
tice has been given the squad. 1t was
in order to offset as far as possible the
earlier organization and practice OF
neighboring teams which Caldwell will
meet this fall that Coach French has
undertaken to lead his cohorts through
strenuous exercise before school
opens.
