Change to the New Automat ir Switch
board to 1h Made Next
Saturday Night.
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. A large
force of men is now at work here
preparing for this change. Several
of the ollicers of the Pacific Tel. &
Tel. Co. are here overseeing this
work. Among them are J. P. Davies,
Division Construction Superinten
dent; E. F. Savior, District Plant
Superintendent; P. E. Cole, District
Trallic Superintendent. Resides
these, J. E. Heaton, District Commer
cial Superintendent, is expected to
arrive tonight.
Work on placing the big new
cables Is now an important feature
and a gang of expert splicer men ar
rived and went to work this morn
ing. In fact the entire system will
have to be re-wired and new wires
and new phones placed in all build
ings. The switching over to the
new plant will not have to wait for
this, however. As soon at? the
change Is made to the new switch
board a crew of men will at once re
move the cranks from the present
phones so no more hand ringing can
be done, lhat being obviated by the
new, automatic sysiem. This will he
followed as rapidly as possible by
the Installation of new phones and
taking out the old ones. This is to
be done without interrupting the
telephone service for anyone, if pos
sible. Some little confusion Is to
be expected in connecting up the
new wires, but this will soon be
eliminated. It will perhaps ho about
a month before all the new phones
can be put In place, but the new
switchboard and automailc ringing
will be put into service on the entire
local system uext Sunday, unless

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

Mr. Waters, replying to n (luestion

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.
