Tho high cost of pnvlng and high cost of llvlug nnd work on Coos Hny were sonio of tho mnttorH under dis cussion and resulted In thu bid for tho paving of Anderson uvoniio from Urondway to Third street being re jected and that Improvement going over Indnllultoly. Tho Coos Day Paving nnd Construction Company liia $7,Gl.riG for tho Job and tho engineer -csllmnto was $7,215.40. 1, S. ICmtfmnn protested ngalust the Job being let nt a cost exceeding tho cngluoor's cstlmnto which ho said wbh very liberal. Anyhow, ho snlil, there was no urgent need of tho street this fall nnd tho property own ers wanted It to go over until spring wlien Ihoy would hnvo more monoy to -pay ifor It. Contractor Whltmore requested thnt ho bo given tho city entfLnoor'8 figures on tho work, but Mr Samlberg objected.
