COOS HAY I.MPKOYIWIKXTS HIIOl'M) H 3IAHH WITH COOS HAY liAHOlt Til BUB was unite n little feeling, and Justifiably so, at North Uend Inst night and today, be causo the contractor, Edward Sen berg, who is building the Connecti cut nvcttuo sewer, dismissed some of the local men ho had in his em ploy and brought Into tho city a number of foreigners to work on tho project. Those who objected to tho action of the contractor rightly took tho position that the public Improvevements must be paid for by the property owners and that whnt lalor was employed should, as far as possible, be chosen from local Mien who were out of work. In shot I they felt thnt what money was to bo spent for work should l' kept nt home. On tho other nam), the contractor tnkes tho stand Hint he made n small bid for tho work, that he lost money on part nf It because he tried to uso inexperienced workmen and that ho has furnished a bond for the successful completion of the work nnd that It Is up to him to deliver tho completed Job, ac cording to contract nnd mnke a prof It If ho can. From that viewpoint the contractor Is, of course, within ills rignis mm nis nominees nuunn h's business nnd hns his reasons for employing whom he pleases, but ...... the City Council should provide i .gainst such contingencies before contracts aro let. Itlght now condl- tlons uro soinowlint unusun There are ninny men on Coos Hay nnd In North Honil who nro out of wcrk. The construction of tho sewer it'ist bo paid for by tho people, and nol doubt at these times tho burden Is co'ishlernblo to a good many. In lOiiHoquonco the people feel that the money they nro paying nut -ihould ho In return paid for local labor, as fa.' uc It can be, and ns u matter of fuel, this. Is right. A community must take enro of Itself and If the gentleman who holds tho contract for tho sewer shows pruforoneo to local men ho will most certainly gain the good will of tho community. Thero Is a suggestion mid n lesson In this Incident and that Is that tho City Council In letting contrnrts should protect local labor. Coos Hay Improvements that nro paid for by Coos Hay money should bo done by Coos Hay labor. i tAITM THP TflAQT ' "You can tell whether a man Is Willi int IUWOI in,rrled by tho way hu shuta the X AND THE TEA I,duor."
