there is some justice in Mr.. Sprad-
Inns contention, that one street
should not be improved at the ex-
pense of the others. Therefore cheap
construction only is possible on the
resident streets.
@. o. Rawl was elected sanitary
engineer to take care of the mosquito
campaign. Bids are to be accepted
for the purchase of a street scarifier.
A special meeting of the Board OF
Mayor and Aldermen was held We'd
nesday night to take up the prop :
sition of street Improvements as I'M
finished business. Not so many Wis
itors were present as attended the
meeting Tueday night, but about the
same opinions were expressed as re-
pards plans of construction. AS
phaItic concrete with concrete foun-
dation and straight concrete as two
types were considered, and when it
was decided that the cost was almost
the same asphaltic concrete was
adopted. Mr. Ellsworth offered a
resolution first to take up the work
proposed last year, paving on First
street from Harrison to Main, on
Main street from First to Ury and
all of TRY street. These are known
as Sections /, and g.. This after
some discussion was withdrawn and
Sections / and 2 embraced in
resolution to carry a bond issue of
$4,000 were adopted. Then a sec
ond resolution to create another two
sections to be known as and was
adopted. Section embraces First
street from Main to Palmer and Sec
ton 5 embraces Church street from
Fifth street to Cemetery street
running east and west. In creating
new sections the citizens along those
sections will have to be notified and
objections, if any, filed, and then
proceed along the lines decided upon.
The present plans are no doubt
very much better than the old plans.
The present plans embrace Church
street instead of Try street and make
an addition of North First street. The
cost of the entire plans is estimated
at $125,000. This gives north and
south and east and west main lines
in and out of the city. However only
Sections l and 2, at $4,000 are
ready for bonding. The new dis
tricts will have to be organized be-
fore b nds can be issued on them.
Now all this seems fine and good.
But there is bigger question yet
and that is the cost. Last year when
everything was higher the estimate
for Sections /, 2 and 8 was made at
$4,000 This year we are led to be-
lieve the work can be done fifteen to
twenty per cent cheaper. If the is the
case $125,000 for all five sections is
ve-extortionate. Last year
after the plans were abandoned an
offer to make a cut of $4,000 on the
$97, 900 contract was made If the
board would entertain it. That would
have been $4,000 for Sections /, 2
and 3. Therefore we say to the
board, beware that you don't get
stung either in the total contract
price, in the quality of the work, or
the proper bonding of the contrac-
tors.
