CLEAN UP DAY BUSY ONE
La Grande has never been combed
with a finer dirt-finding comb than
raked over the city today under the
direction of Boy Scouts and ' the
' Neighborhood ' club. Scout ' Master
H. C. Vinacke and Chairman Mrs
Fred G. Schilke, chairman of the
civics committee, heard reports of 12
huge loads of filth hauled away be
tween 8 and noon, TWehty-two Boy
Scouts under direction of Scout lead
ers, Calhoun , Coombs,. Southeast La
Grande.. Claude , Holbrook, South
west, Frank German, Northwest,
Eugene Alford, Northeast, went out
with four 'wagons who worked under
the direction of Street. Superintend
ent Stacey. In many instances en
tire, wagon loads were found in one
yard, and a doien cases which the
boys found "unsanitary and very
bad? tare reported, in to officials who
re ; going to .apply the .city ordin
ances on the violators.'
At noon, a substantial line of ra-
tions were served camp, fashion on
the Mrs. Anthony lawn, Mrs. J. H
Rudd, Mrs. Fred G. Schilke, and
Miss Vinacke and Miss Schilke serv-
i ing. The workers posed for pictures
and before leaving admitted the task
was too biff for one day and the
youngsters volunteered to come back
and work Monday to clean it. up.
They are not onlookers but actually
laborers; I-a Grande has never been
clcncd any better than she is this
time. Both institutions are to be
commended on the thoroughness
with which the work was done.
SUPPORT BUILDERS. SLOGAN
(Continued from Page 1.)
explained that they were handling
community money and were re
quired, under the law. to give the
bid to the lowest competent bidder.
How outside bids were turned down
in some communities by permitting
the home bidders ! to reconstruct
their bids, or to change the plans so
that the home bidder could get such
a municipal or individual contract,
eo'long as that bid was not extortion
all done in such a wav that the
letters of such contracts can con
scientiously feel they have abided
by the law was pointed out as a
feasible way to keep contracts at
home. Mr. Reynolds again explained
that each homo contractor on the
school house bid had been asked if,
by cutting his bid $200, $300 or even
$500 to get the contract, if he would-
do so. ' ine boara was aavisea mm
the bids were the lowest possible,
j There is absolutely no opportunity
I for trust prices when the city is well
stocked with able contractors, was
I expressed on all sides. Builders
i have the option, it was pointed out,
! to consider outside bids and there
by learn that they are not being
charged extortionate prices.
While no action was taken it is
apparent that the meeting resulted
in a better understanding between
'contractors and business . men and
that hereafter insofar as those who
heard the discussions are concerned
at least, the outsider will have but
little' chance to obtain business in
La Grande herenfter. That the
main contractor should sublet to
local sub-contractors wherever pos
sible, other things being equal or
nearly equal, was another point em
phasized by non-contractors who fell
in with the plan. That a Shade
higher figures by home contractors
are to be overlooked, and' mean in
the end cheaper bids for the home
investor, was affirmed, it being also
pointed out that jobbing houses in
Portland and other big reenters quote
lower figures on material to big city
contractors - than they do to the
small ijown contractor, : they being
thoroughly '.embued with home pat-
reniping schemes themselves;
