COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER. M
PAVING 1ST
BE DONE NOW
City Officials Refuse Re
quest of Contractors for
Postponement.
ASK DELAY UNTIL SPRING
Mujiir and Council Not Satisfied Willi
Excuses Offered ly Company's
Representatives and Charge At
tempted I'so of Subterfuges.
The paving if Alta, Cottonwood
and Webb street will bo done at onc,o,
tho wishes of the paving company to
the contrary notwithstanding. This
was tho announcement made this mor
ning by Mayor K. J. Murphy and
Councilman V. Struble, chairman .of
the street committee, .and follows a
persistent cndeHvor of tho company
officials to secure postponement until
spring. In tho opinion of the city
authorities, the company has no valid
ground upon which to base its re
quest and make it only for private
reasons.
On Monday representatives of the
Warren company met with the street
committee and asked that the actual
laying of the pavement be delayed
until March. In support of their re
quest, they declared that tho filling
of the sower and water trenches now
being dug would settle and thus cause
a sag In the pavement; furthermore
thoy asserted that a much better pave
ment could bo laid in clear, warm
weather than In cold, stormy weather.
Subterfuge, Says City.
According to the chairman of tho
street committee aid the mayor,
these reasons uro merely subterfuges
and are not based on facts. They do- j
clare that the trenches can be filled i
and rolled so hard that they will not '
settle. Such was tho form of pro- t
ordure, they say, when the 'Mnln and
Court street pavement was laid and
there were no sags. In answer to the
weather argument, they point out
that tho weather in tho months of
March and April Is likely to bo as
stormy as during the next Jwo months. '
Also Councilman Stroblo Invites a
comparison of the block of pavement
on Mnln between Uallroad and Webb
streets and the block at the east end
of Court street. The first was laid in
the warm weather of early Septem
ber, he cays, while the latter was laid
In cold, winter weather. No differ
ence in tho quality Is apparent, he
n.sserts. j
Geary Klmbrell, city engineer, sub
stantiates the arguments of the may
or anil committee chairman by his
professional opinion that the weather,
so long as It be not too damp, is no
obstacle nnd that hand tamping nnd
rolling will pack tho earth In the
trenches solid.
The contract so reads that it rests'
with the city authorities whether any;
postponement be made and. In view
of the answers given by those offici
als to the request, the company will
either have to pave now or forfeit Its
contract, 1

He has noticed that irrigation in that
section has increased 'the summer

tion has frequently been called to
the notlcable increase in tho flow
oi tho Umatilla river near Stanflold,
the increase being due to irrigation
above that point. It is also a subject
of comment in the west end coun
