Cnrl Alhrccht snid thnt ono'thlng thnt had prompted tho property own ers to petition for blthulithic was to securo competition and thorcby se curo tho best work at tho lowest urlco. Ho said that somo with BOlflsh mtorosts had been trying to dominate tho raattor. Ho said for instanco that Arthur MoKeown, who was urging tho bituminous paving, had a gravol bed somo placo and was getting n royalty on tho gravol ho sold for the bituminous paving. Ho said further that bituminous paving was costing too much hero, that crushed rock was bolng charged for at tho rato of $1.50 por yard whon It was only bringing 37 M cents per yard In Los Angolos. He said that ho understood that tho city engineer In estimating tho cost of the Improvement had fig urod tho paving at $2. GO por square yard. Whon tho blthulithic entered tho flold at an estimated charge of 12.35, tho bituminous pcoplo dropped tho prlco to J2.2G por yard. Ho do dared that R. H. Olson had author ized him to sign for him on tho blthu lithic petition. Arthur McKcown resented tho chargo that ho was prompted to urgo tho bituminous by tho fact that ho was soiling tho gravol for It. Ho said bo had a coptrnct with tho Coos Day Paving & Construction compnny wheroby thoy had to pay for h, much gravel whethor they UBod It or not. Mr. McKcown wantod to know whnt P. A. Snndborg meant by now urging blthulithic as tho superior paving when ho had recommondod tho bituminous paving whon ho (Snndborg) was city ongineor. Mr. Sandborg said that ho had novor rec ommondod It. S. C. Small said that tho company had novor charged $2.50 por yard. Ho said that $2.2G per yard was tho prlco thoy had agreed on on all such paving. Mayor Straw said ho was tired of hearing of tho Mnrkot avenuo Im provomont and wasting tlmo discuss, lng It. Ho said thnt ho was in favor of olthor going ahead nnd paving It or dropping tho mattor. R. A. Copplo and Arthur McKcown hnd a llttlo tilt over tho proposed chnngo nnd Just an they woro warm ing up tho convorsntlon, Mayor Straw Interrupted by reading tho tltlo of a petition to stop prizefighting in Marahriold. Finally Councilman Alton said that ho thought tho city ought to go ahond with tho improvoment as agreed to unless n majority of tho proporty owners romonstrntcd.
