IMPROVEMENT TO LOW BIDDER
ENDS BITTER FIGHT WAGED
BY PROPERTY OWNERS.

The city council made quick work
disposng of the First Avenue paving
last night at a special session called
for the purpose Of awarding contracts.
The Powers Construction Company, If
Joliet, being the low bidder, was given
the job, which calls for the improve
ment of about eleven blocks at cost
to the property owners of $45.965.S0,
$3,019.20 below Engineer Farnsworth's
estimate of $49,025.O0.
The award brings to an end bitter
fight waged thru the county court to
delay the First Avenue improvement.
Property owners maintained that a
year or more would find the cost OF
labor and materials materially reduc-
ed in comparison with present day
prices, and went into court to oppose
the improvement on the basis that
much money could be saved by post
poning action until such time as NOR
malcy" was restored to the country.
In the case the court ruled the pro
ceedings out on technicality, which
being corrected in the second attempt
to get the roll confirmed left the city
