Jut 140,460 yesterday morning by re- i
Jettlnn the bids for the dredging and I
riprap work conected with the con- j
atructlon of the municipal docks at
Smith's Point. Thin fact became evi
dent later In the day, when at an ad
journed meeting of the commission, the
Taconia Uredglng company agreed to
maka the Improvement for 3169.800,
which is $40,450 less than its original
bid. The company was awarded the
contract.
The Tacoma company agreed to do
the dredging for 12 cents and
the riprap work for J1.65 per
cubic yard, and to have the
work completed within, 10 months.
The contracts awarded the past two
days In connection with the dock ag
gcgate a rum of $307,615.
Arrangements wt re made with the
Hammond Lumber company and the
Pacific Power & Light Co., yesterday
for lei'trtc power to be used by tha
big dredge. Twelve hundred horse
lower will be needed for the dredge,
which 1m is much as Is used by tha
entire city of Astoria at present.
Should the company secure the ton
tiact from the Sanitary and Reclama
tion commission. It will operate two
dredges, wiiith would require double
ihf amount of electric power.
In order to supply this additional
demand It will require the increasing
of th- capacity of the electric plant
of the Hammond Lumber company, as
well as t'.iat of the Pacific Power &
1 .1 Kht Co. It is, estimated that the plan
will necessitate the spending of a
leant $L'i,000 by the first mentioned i
electric company and $11,000 by thai
other, to enlarge tliHr plants in order j
to furnish the required power. i
