MUNICIPAL PLANTTO
DO MOST OF PAVING
IN CITY COMING YEAR
Arrangements Made for Taxpay
ers to Pay on Time Instead
Of Cash.
The municipal paving- plant will han
dle th greater part of the paving out
lined for the present year, according to
Commissioner Barbur, In charge of the
public works department, and R. 8.
Dulin, In charge of the paving plant.
i Authorisation for the purchasing agent
to advertise and receive proposals for
furnishing the largest amount of asphal
tic cement', approximately 1006 tons, was
granted by the city council Wednes
day. Arrangements will be made which
will allow the city to receive the ma
terial In quantities of 300 tons at a time.
f Barbur states he has completed ar
rangements with - various banks for
financing the work outlined. This will al
low' benefited property owners to pay
(or the work on time payments. Barbur
points out that such an arrangement will
remove the main objection to the city
doing the work that of making prop
erty owners pay cash.
Numerous petitions are before the city
at present asking for pavements to be
laid. Barbur and Dulin are uncertain
whether the municipal plant can handle
all the work that has been placed be
fore It. Barbur states that the plant
will prove its worth to the taxpayers
more than ever this yfear in the saving
on paving work.
MAY CONSIDER CLAIM
The Auditorium Contractors Ask Arbi
tration Board to Decide Loss.
W. . Duniway, acting for J. F. Kelly
and N. A. Shannon, bondsmen for Hans
Pedereon, contractor for The Auditor
ium, has asked the city council to refer
the claim of $76,000 against the city to
a board of arbitration. The claim is for
funds that the bondsmen state are due
them for losses sustained by the con
tractor in erecting the building.
Duniway stated that provisions of the
contract between the city and Pederson
specify that all differences arising from
the construction of the building should
be submitted to a board of arbitration.
No counter opinion as to the text of the
contract was given by city officials
Tuesday, owing to the absence of City
Attorney La Roche, who Is attending; the
legislature. It was pointed out. how
ever, some months ago by opinion from
the city attorney's office that no stipu
lation entered the contract that provided
for arbitration of differences after the
completion of the building. They fur
ther stated that arbitration was provided
for only in disputes arising between the
contractor and architect during the
course of construction of The Auditor
ium. Mayor Baker and city commissioners
at an informal meeting last Thursday
said they believed the city would be set
ting too dangerous a precedent in pay
ing the claim recommended by the spe
cial committee of business men. Mayor
Baker asserted Wednesday that he
would present in writing before the
council within a few days his opinion
in detail on the matter.
Sewer Ordered by Council
Remonstrances entered by small prop
erty own'ers in the vicinity of Killings
worth avenue and Eighteenth street
against the construction of a sewer in
the district were overruled Wednesday
by the city council with the adoption of
an ordinance authorizing the improvement.
