questioner asked, "Who in the hell

newsboys said to the other, "Who

MAYOR WINS FIGHT
 FUR NEW EFFORT ID
 LOWER PAVING COST

Mayor Willis Fl. Plunkett launched a one-man fight against existing paving costs at yesterdays meeting of the city commission. Vigorously prosecuting his cause. he won the support of his colleagues and on a point of order was unanimously sustained
 of discontinuing the recently inau- gurated system of giving property owners final say on paving ques- tions. Mayor Plunkett took the floor and made his plea for action to re- duce paving costs.
 He suggested that steps be taken to call for alternate bids on paving under the state law. Such a plan, he pointed out, would encourage competition and ultimately result in cheaper paving for Phoenix. Under the present system of calling for bids on paving of one particular specification. he said. there Twas little opportunity for competition
 He asked members of the com mission to support him in a resolu- tion calling upon Wood and Oakley, bond attorneys of Chicago. for an opinion on the question of alternate bids on paving under the state law. After discussion the commission voted unanimously on this point.
 City Attorney R. E. Sloan was in- structed to prepare a resolution in the proper form for submission to Wood and Oakley and forward same as soon as possible.
 Earlier in the meeting Commis- sioner Luke Henderson expressed his objections to plans of mailing cards to property owners to get their views on paving questions The method. he said, had caused much criticism of the commission's actions on streets where a majority of property owners have already signffied their desire to have i'm provements made. His view was sustained when Commissioners Adams, Irvine and Barnett voted tc discontinue the plan. Mayor Plum kett alone voted to continue it.
 The only other paving matter tc come before the commission was a petition signed by property owners on Sixth street from the Salt River valley canal to Roosevelt street. pro- testing against the use of Warren ite- Bitulithic paving on said street The petitioners requested that plans and specifications for the street b. made for Portland cement-concrets | pavement. for Topeka and also fol the old style bitulithic pavement The matter was referred to the cit, engineer for checking. A protes against the paving of Sixth street between Washington and Van Burer streets, was received. and referred to City Engineer l.. B. Hitchcock fol checking.
