City- Authorities Worried by
Tearing Up of, Pavements
to Provide Water.
In many parts of ths city, hard sur
face pavement, la being laid on street!
that have not been provided with water
mains. In other places, paving is being
laid on streets upon which contracts for
water mains have been let and the mains
not laid.
This condition of affairs Is causing
the city authorities from Mayor Simon
down, and contractors, a large amount
of trouble. It has resulted in the stop
ping of all Improvements on streets
where water mains have been provided
and are not already in the ground. That
thefs If something radically wrong Is
evident. ,
. During this season many witter mains
have been laid by cutting through newly
laid hard surface paving. This has add
ed to the cost of laying the water
main, and the property owners have
raised 'a storm of disapproval. It has
also resulted In lessening the stability
of tne pavement While the city en
gineer contends that the hard surface
can ' be opened, a trench . out, " Water
. main laid and the earth and pavement
relald without injury -to the pavement,
there are numerous places over the city
where the pavement has cracked and
developed a gutter over the water main.
Property Owner Object.
The . contract for paving Twelfth
street, between Yamhill and Jefferson
streets, was let February 16. The work
was to be completed by October it. The
water main contract for the same street
was let June 14, the work to be com
pleted by August 14. Bids were asked
for both improvements at the same
time. The paving men , immediately
- submitted bids, and r the contract was
let. The water main contractors were
slow In bidding. Therefore, it was nec
essary to readvertlse for bids. This
time the bid was let., but four months
after the paving work had been decided
upon. ;
In this case the paving contractor
worked on other streets until recently,
when he began on Twelfth street The
: street- has been cleaned and graded.
Work of laying the concrete founda
tion began about two weels ago. This
work began at Yamhill street and pro
gressed south. One block was finished
and ready for the top coat, when prop
erty , owners began to object as the
pipes for water mains were being placed
on the ground, and this work would
have soon been In progress.
Mayor Etmon ordered the oavinsr
stopped and instructed the water main
contractors to hustle with their work.
The main on this street Is to be a 12
Inch one.
Mayor Simon places the blame for
this condition in the procedure of lay
ing water mains. He has contended
that it should be done by the water
board, and not let by contract In this
way, the board could order a main when
ever needed. As it is, the work has to
be advertised and bids considered. '
- .It takes no less than three months
before work can be done. TMs a' Ap
plies to largo repel r of mains. Under
such a system the water department
would stand the expense, while under
the present method the property owner
ben.'fit.'d p,tys the bill. The city en
gineer is powerless In the matter, but
favors the work being done by the
water department. The matter was
seriously considered recently by the
council, but much opposition arose
against the plan, and It was dropped.
Would Bequlre Amendment.
It would require an amendment to
the charter to make this change. Some
of the strongest objections were raised
from the south east' side residents,
where a water famine prevails. The
water board Is divided upon the ques
tion; part favor it, and others are
apalnst it.
About three years ago the former pro
cedure of installing water mains was
changed by an amendment to the pres
ent system. Since then the water main
work has given the - city authorities
much trouble in this respect, 'Bidders
for .this work are slow to bid, as many
of them are backward about taking the
work; They fear the warrants would
be held up and the work drawn into
litigation. Many have taken up paving
work.- However, all paving work low
under construction or. .contemplation,
where water mains are to be later laid,
will be held back until the water mains
are installed.
