Dallas Council
To Compromise
On Street Work
JOURNAL WANT ADS PAT
Dallas, Or., Nov. 30. Formal
consideration of the W. C. Lee
paving contract at the meeting of
the Dallas city council Monday
evening indicated that a settle
ment will be reached.
City Attorney Oscar Hayter told
the council that It .had developed
that It bad developed that it will
be impossible to roll and prepare
the gravel borders of the streets
paved this year and recommended
that the matter of settlement with
the contractor and the bonding
company be referred to the street
committee, which could prepare; a
report for the next meeting of the
council. The wet condition of the
ground prevents the . use of the
necessary heavy roller.
The suggestion was adopted,
with the idea that It may be pos
sible to reach a settlement, the
city withholding sufficient to be
sure that the work in question is
done in the spring. The penalty
of $25 a day provided for In the
contract for not finishing the
work on time was not mentioned
But this issue will not be settled
until the council votes upon any
proposed settlement.
V. R. Dennis, head of the Den
nis Construction company, . the
concern which made the improve
ments on the streets in the south
western part of town, contended
that his concern was entitled to
$1125 more for grading work on
Cherry and Ellis streets than bad
ben allowed by the city engineer.
The council authorized payment
in accordance therewith, but Mr.
Dennis served notice that he was
not satisfied with this, and pro
posed to bring on an engineer to
make an investigation. He held
that, while his figures might be
wrong, he believed he was right,
and that if he had the money in
question coming for grading he
would insist upon getting same.
An Incident connected with this
matter attracted some attention.
Councilman Kreason voted "no'
on adopting the engineer's report
and "present" on the allowance of
payment in accordance therewith
Other members of the council ask
ed that Mayor Grant rule that Mr.
Kreason be required to record his
vote either for or against the mo
tion. The mayor, after some dis
cussion, ruled that as the motion
had carried a'nyway, he would "al
low Mr. Kreason to continue to be
present."
The committee on streets was
authorized to put down a few of;
tHe regulation winter crosswalks.
The committee was ordered to
first take care of the needs of the
rfehool chidren, and to use what
ever lumber that remains avail
able on the worst crossings in the
cfty. No such number of cross
walks will be laid as were placed
tost year, it being the Idea of the
council that tbey were a nuisance
oft streets where there is much
automobile travel.
