RIG S REFUSES NO. 5779 THE F ii TO A LABOR DRAFT" Only Apparent Means by Which Levee Betterments Can Be Made This Fall. MOISSC GETS CONTRACT FOK CONCRETE FOOT WALL. Does Not Include the Excavating Two Bids Were Rejected Payment of $500 Voted to the Engineers for Levee Specifications The Exhibi tion Hall Affords the City a New and Unexpected Problem Not Yet Solved Several Extra Policemen t Be Employed During the Fair. " As was feared, there was a scarcity of levee repair bids for the council meeting Saturday evening, and after a two hours' session that body ad journed without having done anything further than to let a contract for the concrete foot wall, which is to be plact along part of the levee, and pa' 4 the engineers $500, which was seem ingly not yet due them. Most of the members of the council were in their seats early Saturday evening, and while waiting for tha mayor to arrive the levee problem was freely dlscust Much of the talk was In regard to Councilman Hlnkle'a pan for drafting the voters of tha city to work on the levee, and there was much good natured raillery over the work which would fall to the dlfr fereht councllmen and others present "All the same, that Is what tha thing is coming to, and only by draft ing can we get the work done," de clared Mr. Hinkle In defense of his plan. Mous.au Gets Contract. When the bids on the table were opened H. Moussu & Co. were found to have offered to construct the con crete foot wall for $7.70 per cubic yard. After some discussion the bid was accepted and the contract or dered granted to that company. However, the bid was merely for do ing the concrete work and did not provide for the excavating that will be necessary before the wall can b placed on bedrock. The only other bids presented were an unsigned one for the concrete work which was higher than the one ac cepted, and one from Mr. Jacobsen for rebuilding the washt out portion of the levee nt the lower end. As he askt 75 cents per cubic yard for mak ing the embankment, while the en gineer's estimate was for 30 cents, the bid was considered as exorbitant Engineers Are Paid. Altho the council has found it dif ficult to spend money on actual levee work ,tho engineers have not been backward In seeking pay for their plans, which - have not yet been fol lowed. At the Saturday nlghf meet ing n communication from them was read in which they insisted that a payment of $500 be made them at once. Under the contract with the en gineers the city Is to pay them 5 per cent of the nmount expended In con sideration of their services in drawing plans and supervising the work. As no money has yet been spent, some councllmen had difficulty In seeing how anything was due the engineers. However, the sum of $500 was or dered paid them. Three Per Cent Was Due. Regarding the $500 Councilman Hinkle sold since, that the same was due under the terms of the contract Iwth them. He says that 3 per cent of the estimated expenditure was due when the plans were adopted, the re maining 2 per cent Is to be paid in monthly Instalments as the work pro ceeds. It is estimated that the work planned will cost between $20,000 and $25,000, nnd the nmount paid the en gineers was based upon the cost being even less than the former amount. Fair lidding a Problem. In a signed letter to the council the Insurance company having a policy oa the Ferguson blldlng adjoining the fnlr pavilion held that granting a per mit for the construction of the frame pavilion had violated an ordinance of the city. Sonsequently they declared they would hold the city responsible In case of loss by fire from the fair blldlng. In order to avoid such responslblll- M (Contlnued on pK 7.) r
