Sats Fn-i. Will. Not Stop. Tne com
mittee from the Kast Side Improvement
Association appointed to bring the Grand
avenue fill before the Council was not
ble to do. so Wednesday evening, but it
ntervlewed most of the Councllmen, and
obtained assurances that the work on the
fill would not be stopped. H. H. New
hall said that the City Attorney consid
ers that the contract of the Pacific Bridge
Company will enable it to go on with the
work regardless of the estimates of the
City Engineer, which were not final as
to the amount of material required to fill
up the street. The estimate was that
B1.00O cubic yards would complete the em
bankment, but wnen made, it was not
known how much the embankment would
settle. If it required a less amount, then
the contractor would receive pay only for
the amount of material, but If more Is re
quired, then the contractor would receive
pay for above the 51,000 cuoic yards esti
mated. However, tne committee will ap
pear before the Mayor and executive com
mittee and talk the matter over. Man
ager Simon said yesterday that about 4S,
OfiO cubic yards of material had been
dumped in the street, and that the' em
bankment appeared to have reached solid
ground.
