Bitulithic pavement will soon be re duced In price from $2 to $1.75, accord ing to Mayor Simon. He has conferred with the street committee of the Execu tive Board and with City Engineer Mor ris, and they have agreed upon a plan whereby this reduction will be. brought about. 'We are now getting asphalt laid for $1.85, and we had bids on some for $1.76," said Mayor Simon, "and we believe the bitulithic should toe laid as cheaply. We want to work for the benefit of the prop erty owners, but while doing this, we do not want to drive any company out of the field, as we want all the competition we can get. We feel that bitulithic can be laid as cheaply as asphalt, and con fidently expect a material reduction soon." . Bidder to Pay Cost. " The Warner-Quinlan Company, of New York, which bid on some streets for asphalt at the last meeting of the Execu tive Board, have not yet secured any contracts because of an error in their . bids. The bids of G. A. Anderson, of Portland, a new figure in the paving world here, were likewise Informal. All were rejected,' and the City Auditor was authorized to readvertlse. Expense of readvertisement will be taxed to Ander son, who was the lowest blader. Anderson's bid for laying asphalt was tl-75 a square yard, but Instead of spe cifying "yards," he wrote in his bid "lineal feet." He was present at the meeting of the street committee, which considered the bids yesterday afternoon, and said he .would gladly sign up the contract and agree in writing to charge 11.75 a square yard, if the committee would permit of It. Protest Is Turned Down. A representative of the Warner-Quinlan Company arose and entered a pro test, saying that, as he was the next lowest bidder, he would object to the ar rangement stated by Anderson. His at tention being called to an informality of the same kind In his own bid, the repre jentatlve said he thought his" bid per fect, but the committee, after a brief conference, rejected all bids. Hoyt and Columbia streets wore the ones upon which both men bid. When the new bids are In. if both are formal ind are acted upon on their merits, it will develop whether the two new bid ders will get a foothold here. Mayor Simon and Messrs. Corbett. Smith and Piatt, of the street committee, are very anxious to encourage new companies in the field, as there is ample work for all. and keen competition results in great saving of money for the property owners.
