' Paving will doubtless be one of the , Important, matters to be consi dered at the council meeting tonight and the controversy which ' arose at Baker City betwocu the. Barber As phalt people and the Warren Con struction company (blthulitic peo ple) will likely be renewed here. Mr Walker, :repi'!?3t ntijjjs.iho Barber peo- pie,-who 'verbally promised, to put down 'heir- paving for $1.80 here, promised to have a bora fide bid In by tonight In which event tho coun cil will likely readvertise , for-bids, as the regular time for opening them was set some time ago. It is known that the Warren people cannot put down their grade of paying for that p Ice. pnd they have a representa tive here today in N. C. Olson, who went through the Baker City squab ble about paving. M.. Olson affirm I: that in his belief the Barber people will not hays a bid in tonight, for when the Baker City council had held the matter over for a week to give Walker time to bid, they, found that he had not accepted the opportunity. To decide pon which class of pav ing they want and to take final ac tion on the bid question, are some of the things to come before the council this evening. If Walker does not have1 a bid here as ho promised, one result will likely be anyway that the j Warren people will have a bid low er than is usual for such work. "It will take hb less than three months to complete the contract here should our bid bo accepted tonight," said Mr. Olson today in speaking of the matter. r Why Our Business Grows- .
