White company bidding 1869, 345.1 10
In each case the company low on the
total bid was slightly higher on a few
of the streets and whichever type of
paving is chosen, the work will prob
ably be divided.
Here Are Low Bids.
The basic bids of these two com
panies were as follows:
Excavation per cubic yard: West
ern Improvement company, 80 cents !;
White Construction company. As cents,
Brick vertical fibre pavement, per
square yard: White company, $3.25;
no other bids.
Sheet asphalt, (natural) per
square yard: White company, S2.70;
no other bids.
Sheet asphalt, (oiD White Construc-
ton company, $3.50 per square yard ;
Western Improvement company, $3.50
per square yard.
Reinforced concrete, per square
yard: Western company, $240; White
company, 1898.
Asphaltic concrete, per square yard
Western company, $2.35 and S2.45;
White company, 1925.
Curb and gutter, per lineal foot:
Western company, 80 cents; White
company, 76 cents.
-Four other companies competed but
none was in reach of these two firms.
The highest bid was for 1897 per
square yard for sheet asphalt and 9TH
er work accordingly.
Lower Than Last Year.
Last year the greater part of the
paving laid was of the oil variety of
sheet asphalt at a cost of $2.7O per
square yard, twenty cents higher than
the bid made this year.
One of the big questions raised by
the bids is over the type of paving
which is to be used in the work. If
the city elects to use asphaltic con
crete throughout it will mean a saw
ing to the city of $4,000 on the en-
tire program. Contractors urging that
type of paving maintain that it Is the
kind being used now in all of the larg-
er cities and that it is in every way
as durable as the sheet asphalt type.
1t carries with it the same guarantee
as the other type.
With saving over the estimate of
such large amount it is possible that
the way may be opened for paving sew
eral other streets out of the appropri-
alton made in the budget for paving
work.
Here Are Bids in Detail.
Official figures for the totals of the
bids on each street had not been com
pletely compiled by the city engineers
office at a late hour this morning. I'm
official totals on the various streets
for the two types of paving in ques-
ton for the two lowest bidders were
as follows:
