A sensation Is promised when the

tive Board rets down to business m
the matter of awarding a contract for
a steam road roller, to be used in the
. street department, under the direction
of the City Engineer. L. B. Reeder
representing the i,r. -..v. r . .
Company, declared before the commit
tee yesterday afternon that he had
been informed that the City Engineer
did not Intend to give the contract if

asserted that tv l..t a ...

gation will undoubtedly be made by

mittee at a later date.
Mr. Taylor denied that he intended to
give the Buffalo-Pitts Company any the
better of the business of his office, and
said that while he recommended the
Buff all-Pitts roller highly, he did so be
cause there are four such rollers in use
by his crews in this city, all of which
nave given splendid satisfaction. That
iact alone, he declared, was what he in
tended to impress upon the Mayor and
members of the. nnmmlttAa tvt- t 1

roller for which bids were submitted, and

have heard, however, that the City En
gineer proposes to discriminate against
us and In favor of the Buffalo-Pitts Com
pany." Mayor I.ane took a hand in the dis
cussion at this point, he having, been
absent previously. He demanded to
know why Mr. Reeder made any such
statements reflecting upon Mr. Taylor,
and Mr. Reeder replied that J. B. Small,
Portland manager for the Monarch
Company, had been informed that such
was the case. Mr. Reeder asserted
that the Buffalo-Pitts Company's bid
of $3:00 for a steam roller is far in 1
excess of what they charged for the
same roller in Seattle. Mr. Reeder said
that the Seattle department bought one

pany's present bid is for a complete

rian Church, and Rev. J. R. Lands
borough, of the Oregon City First Pres
byterian Church, by the Portland Pres

these institutions In 1900. They then
entered the Princeton Theological Sem
inary, received their degree of doctor
of divinity at the same time, and also
the degree of master of arts. They
married young women In the same
town. Mr. Thompson has been pastor
at Sellwood for six years and Mr.
Landsborough at Oregon City for four
years. Now both receive the high
honor of representing the foremost
presbytery on the Pacific Coast In the
General Assembly.
