After next Saturday night the Roseburg telephoue system will be operated from the new switchboard in the new telephone uciidtiuurters on Stephens street. This will also end the present antiquated method of culling "central, ' as that will thereafter be done automatically by taking down the receiver.

M 'Si 1 J I it. . if m-vrt i Ry the unanimous vote of the eleven councilmeu present, the Clark- Henry Construction Company, of Sacramento, Calif,, at an adjourned session of the city council this morn ing, was awarded the contract for laying asphalt pavement In Roseburg this year. The contract will Involve the 40 blocks of street designated for pnvlng by the council over three months ago and with which the pub lic generally is familiar. Later this outlined area will be Increased ten blocks, as the bond issue of $40,000 will also pay one-third the cost of such additional blocks, nfter there Is expended out of that sum the one third cost of the original area of 40 blocks. Messrs. Clark nnd Henry, the suc cessful bidders, were present at the council meeting this morning and promised to begin work within the next 20 days. They ngree In tlieir contract to complete work in 120 days. Calculating that they will commence work about. July 10, they should have the pavement laid not later than November 10. 1 hoy ure to furnish a bond to insure compe- tit Ion of the work within the time agreed upon. In fact they expect to begin the work just as soon plant they have at Sacramento cull be shipped here ana put In place. Itfd Same as Before, The bid of Iho Clark-Henry Com pany, submitted nt. the regular sea sion of the' council Monday night was practically the same as 'he ten tntive figure for wlich ibey (.tiered to do the work on tne 2 Sib. of April last. The exact cost for each block cannot be given until City Engineer Roberts makes the computation from his specifications, but the grund total according to his preliminary est! males: remains at about. $92,200. Against this figure, the Beaver Construction Company, of Salem, Or represented hv ex-Mayor F. W. Wat era, of that city, submitted an asphalt navlng bid of approximately $140 less. Like the Clark-Henry Com pany, the Salem firm agreed to tak ove the remaining half of the $40, 000 bond Issue at 4 'A per cent. Th fact, however, that the Reaver Con st .Miction Company has yet to lay H fl"st yifrd of pavement anywhere wu a handicap that tne cunerence 11400 In the bids could not over come.

Exiierlenco Preferred. When the council reconvened this morning after an over-night ad journment. Councilman Mlcelli moved, after short discussion, that the paving contract be awarded to the Clark-Henry Compuny. "While It is true." he said, "that the Renver Construction Company has presented the lowest bid, I do not think the clIizeiiB of Roseburg ould want them to hnve the con tract. They are absolutely new In the business; they haven't laid any pavement anywhere. They ought to rst demonstrate the value of their pavement In their own city. We cannot afford to let them experiment Roseburg, especially when we have before us the fine proposition of the Clark-Henry Company, which, Instead of being an unknown quan tity, has an undisputed record of successful paving work all over California. Mlcelll's motion was promptly seconded by Councilman Jones, and when the question was put to a vote every member answered in the af firmative. Quality of Pavement. As stated in The Review nt the time tentative bids were received, the pavement decided on by the council is whut Is termed the secona gruae. costing $1.69 a square yard which comprises a 5-inch crushed rock base, a one-inch concrete bindor and a lMi-inch wearing surface 7 V2 Inches thick In all. The only difference between this grade and the first grade is that the latter has a wearing surface a half Inch thlck- The second grade will be tuny amnio, however, for any and nil traffic In Roseburg, especially on the residence streets, whore It will ne principally laid.
