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.
