CITY PLANT WANTED
Paving Repair Need Pressing,
Says Commissioner Dieck.
PROPOSAL REJECTED ONCE
Two Million Square Yards of Im-
proved Streets Will Come Under
Municipality for Malnte
nance by First of Year.
With millions of. square: yards of
pavement coming: into the period of
municipal maintenance this year the
question of how to provide a means of
keeping it in repair has become serious.
Commissioner Dieck has announced that
he will offer as the only solution to the
budget committee next Fall a proposal
to establish a municipal paving repair
plant.
Such a proposal was made to the
budget committee last Fall but was re
jected, and limited means were provided
to handle the work this year. Commis
ioner Dieck says the money allowed is
entirely insufficient and that it will
mean even greater expenditures next
year than would be necessary had the
paving plant or adequate funds been
provided for this year.
There is now under municipal main
tenance a total of 1,150,000 square
yards of pavement. Before. January 1
there will be 2.000,000 yards. The pave
ment of the entire Laurelhurst district
will come into maintenance this year,
a part of it already having passed into
the city's hands.
The cost this year is held down by
reason of the city having required the
contractors to put the pavement in good
condition before turning it over to the
city. The Barber Asphalt Paving Com
pany is now at work on the Laurel
hurst district paving preparatory to its
being turned over.
Estimates prepared last year showed
that a paving plant could be estab
lished for about $10,000, which would
adequately care for the paving repairs
at minimum cost.

assembled a party who wished to hire
his automobile.
The automobile ride was preceded by
a few drinks of wlfisky, Johnson act
ing as host. When the party etarted
out one of its members suggested that
they ought to have a bottle of whisky.
Johnson said that he had a bottle of
bonded whisky he would sell for $3.
He went to his room at the hotel, got
the whisky and sold it to the thirsty
friend. . It developed that the "thirsty
friend" ' was Officer Wright, who di
rected "Johnson to drive to police head
