BOOSTERS SHOW . ' v -PAVING
IS TOO COSTLY
The' South Portland Improvement as
sociation yesterday filed an.'. amended
complaint in its suit against the city
and the' Oregon Hassam Tavlng com
pany to prevent the laying-of a hassam
pavement oh Macadam street
, The new complaint charges that the
city council adopted a resolution shut
ting out competition when It specified
that hassam should be laid, and that
the Hassam company's bid of $108,
618.58 for the work is excessive. -; ;
Plaintiff states that this bid is from
28 ' to--- iO -per' cent higher than could
have been received tiy the city if com
petition - had not been eliminated by
specifying hassam.
. As art instance .'of the unreasonable
charges that the 'complainant says the
Hassant company rnakes, tha' price made
for earth excavation Is cited. The com
plaint says that 76 cents yard is ample
and remunerative. It is further stated
"TtratB5rcents a cubic yard was bid for
old macadam excavation and that' 60
cents a cubic yard is ample, adequate
and profitable.
, The bid of the Hassam company for
stone block paving exclusive of founda
tion was $3 a square yard. Complainant
says that 11.75 is an adequate com
sensation.
The plaintiff asks that the court
declare the contract entered Into be
tween the city and the paving company,
to pave Macaaam street, to be null and
void, and that pending the' result i at
the suit the company be temporarily
enjoined yrora laying; the pavement
GIVE BALUNGER POLICY
' ; STIFF KNOCKOUT BLOW
; Balllnger's idea of state control of
forest . conservation met . with strong
opposition at a recent meeting of the
Pomona Grange and was turned down
by a big majority. A resolution sug
gested by the national grange favoring
state control was presented at the meet
ing. -,but after an extended discussion
was not adopted, the rnembers of Po-.
mona grange believing that the system
would not be for the best interests of
the people of Oregon, or of the west
ern states.
Other questions of publlo interest
were considered and official actidn tak
en by the grange upon them. The'con
tlnuatlon of the rural mail service and
its extension was given favorable con- j
slderation and Indorsement The Home
Rule bin, which 1 to be voted upon
in November, met ; with much opposi
tion and a recommendation - was made
that members of the grange vote against
the bill.
The grange also went on record as
again opposing the calling of a state
constitutional convention, ; cohtendlng
that such a convention would place the
direct primary law, the initiative and
referendum, the recall, corrupt prac
tices act and other progressive laws in
