V"ds of pavement , yearly, ? is big
1 -enough, but Mayor Baker and Com
missioner Pier declare a plant ofcsuf
ficlent capacity to handle the entire
, program of the city should be erected.
- , The mayor 'asked how. the paving
' that the fcity was unable .to .complete
wouId be 'handled by letting contracts
to the private companies at high prices
or by postponing the Work for a year.
"And do -you plan to Jay pavements

.Barbur told the council that after all
overhead was figured, the city received
a profit of 10 cents a yard on the work.

In submitting his plans for the new
plant. Commissioner Barbur declared
that the municipal plant had saved the
city more than 1 40,000 during the last
year and a half. - More than $11,000 was
saved on the pavement : of Terwliliger
boulevard by the city, he Indicated, and
pavement was laid on East Seventeenth
street by the municipality for 77 cents,

Action Is Taken
By San Francisco
To Cut Food Cost
San Francisco, July 26. (U. P.) San
Francisco as a municipality today took
action to reduce food costs by arrang
ing for carload - purchase- of surplus
army food. City purchasers today
placed orders for several carloads of
bacon and tomatoes, which will be fur
nished consumers at e-overnment cost .-
price the bacon at 34 cents a pound.
More may be purchased if the demand
justifies.
These will be distributed through a
large department store, the central labor
council and. several shipyards.
Square! That's the kind of
man that Bill Hart is in this one.
Straight as a die and on the
level, but reedy to go like the
