- 'Compromises that give La Grande
-street lights for $0.50 each per month
instead of $6.00 as charged now,' pro
vided the city adds" enough street
lights to raise the number from its
present total of 79 to 100, have been
proffered to the city officials follow
ing an informal conference between
members of the council last evening,
and F. A. Harmon, general manager
of the Eastern Oregon Light & Power
company which right now is furnish
ing light for the city but has not en
1 tered into a renewal of the contract.
Mayor Hall recently presented a prop-
osition to the company .to pay $5.00
per light if 100 or more were used.
Negotiations went along on that basis'
' for a time, but last night Mr. Harmon
finally -and emphatically denied his
ability to enter into, a $5.00 rate, con
tract but compromised on $5.50." He
:aff irms that the arc lights used in La
-Grande cost $8.00 more each than the
ones used in Baker,' where a $5.00 rate
exists, and that a great deal more
light in La Grande is the result. Wal
la Walla alone is as well lighted as

Secretary of. Interior Passes Through
, , La Grande Early Today. ;
While La Grande slept or was
"just up" which ever the casermay be
Hon.- Franklin K. Lane, secretary of
the interior, passed through the city.
He and his party were onv No. 6 the
local train this morning. The secretary
was on his way to Idaho points after
having been feted at Pendleton last
eveninjr.
After visiting the project near Cald
well tomorrow he will go to Boise at
which place he will be the guest of
that city at a luncheon, leaving Thurs
day for Colorado Springs. , Boise se
cured his promise to visit there at the
last moment and is happy.

find "sop" thrown us that is a bare
faced substitute to absolutely hut out
competition with the Warren Broth
ers, affiliated contractors, and on file
in the city hall, which reads in part:
"inasmucn as ic is deemed advisable,
by the proper authorities that bids be
received and inasmuch as com
petitive bidding in the letting of con
tract for street improvements is
deemed adfsable, In order to provide
for such competitive bidding, and at
the same time secure the adootion of
bitulithic pavement" the Warren Bros.'
Co., "offers to any and all contract
ors who may bid on bitulithic pave
ment in the city of La Grande, a royal,
ty of 90 cent : per square yard
of finished pavement." Evn to the
uninitiated it would be a joke to of
fer a bid to lay bitulithic here. ' I will
say that ' the difference in cost be
tween bitulithic and standard concrete
pavement if placed in the bank at four
per cent and compounded semi-annually,
will in all probability take care of
air repairs on 'such permanent pave
ment for all time.
In conclusion let us put in a perma
nent pavement, not a substitute, and
put it in within the means of the prop
erty owners who must pay the bills,
and above all let. us ask tire property
owners to meet with the- council and
advise us as to the pavywit they
fant laid. '
" Ifwe do this, and we must do it,
then there will be less cause for critt-
eism from our people that the interests
have a representation in our municipal
affairs. , ;. . , '

who was to be the winner of the hand

stiff enough . to enable the kites to
fly without running. About a dozen,

Chehalis, Wash., May 3rd, 1913. Mr.
F. D. Haisten, City . Councilman, La
Grande, Oregon. Dtir'sir: In an
swer to your communication relative to
the expense and satisfaction of the dif
ferent kinds oi hard surface paving
.used for street improvement in this
city will say that we are now paving
our streets with concrete and find it
most satisfactory both as to quality
and price which is about $1.00 per
square yard. . '
We have paved with macadam and
find it costs tlJe least but4s not so
desirable. . ' . . . - .
Bitulithfc is good but very expens
ive. . . ,
Vitrified brick we find most expens
ive of all and the warrenite pavement
most unsatisfactory. ". - . . ..
As a result of our experience' we
would advise the use of concrete for
.hard surfacing strees both for" its
wearing quality and cost.
Yours very truly, Wm. Brunswig,
city clerk, by C. Dethlefs, deputy. -.
P. S. You will understand the citv
is doing its own street improvement
with its own equipment, hence the
ability to pave with concrete at $1
per sqaure yard.
