CITY WILL HANDLE SEWER WORK
Delnys of Existing Arrangements to be Done Away
With Engineer Koon Will Boss the Job,
Which Will be Hastened to Completion
After a sorlea of apodal comtnltteo
iiieetliiKH mid mooting of tho City
Council, u wtH docldod early thla af
ternoon to cancel Iho urrougeiueiiia
at pieaont oxUtlng for tho conntruo-
; tlou of Itond'n auwr ayatem nnd for
tho city to tako over tho woru, com
pleting It Itaolf.
Tho docliilnn waa mado nftor
thorough oxaruliiallou Into tho altu
utlcn. It waa developed that tho
contractor, tho Kouili Portland
Cruahcd Hock Company, nro loalng
ii in n ey nml would bo utmblo to com
picio tho Job with any antUfactlon or,
nt tho rate they have gono tliu far,
within aoveral oar. Inveatlgntlon
allowed that tho organization wn not
tlnnnclnlly ublo to put through the
work, It being practically luovltablu
that the beat that could bo hoped for
by continuing preneut arrangement
would bo to dally along for a couple
of month, after which the city would
find Ittclf with the work but llttl
further advanced than It la now, nnd,
probably, with auiloua litigation
pending with tho construction bond
ing homo, lu tho event of forced can
cellation. The fact of the matter nro that
ery yard of rock tho contractors
huva moved to date with day labor
hm meant loia to them. So, natur
ally, they have done nway with direct
employment of lalior and have let
.:rythlng poailblo to aub-contrnc-tora.
One result of thla method ha
been that local la'jor nnd American
labor has had no fair chance at tho
work. Also, the "tub" themselves
hnvo found that the? navo been mak
ing no money, and after this It would
bo noxt to Impossible to get moro of
them to tackle contract. However,
a naturally tho contractors wore try
ing to do tho work as economically
a possible, their employment of
subs" can not be criticized harshly.
Tho arrangement places Knglueer
It. K. Koon In direct chargo of tho
construction, as ho nlrendy waa of
tno engineering, subject to tho super
vision of tho council and tho sewer
comtnltteo.
From tho progress already made,
the exact cost of excavation has been
pretty well established, and It I
found that tho worK oan reaaonably
bo expected to lm completed within
tno original estimate.
Tho city cntera upon tho ret of tho
Job with these advantage: The
work already completed, at lot lo
the contractor, represents a gain to
It of about 1Q00; further, this has
boon by far tho most difficult portion
of tho work, aud ho been attempted
under tho moat adverse wtMlhor con
dition. Secondly. In the arrange
ment Just perfected the elty further
benefit from tho faet that tho con
tracting company gtvoa It tho free use
of all It equipment now on tho
ground and that ntready onlortnl, un
til eomplotlon of Iho Job. This,
reckoning In drills, boilers, etc.,
mean n saving to tho city conserva
tively estimated nt $1700.
For managing tho work, Mr. Koon
gel paid an a bail of C per cent of
tho total outlay front now on. A

tho maximum amount of money that

port on the progress aud cot of the
work.
Tho work will bo ckwod down per
liap ten day, pending a complete
meniurenient of work done to date
and Inventory of equipment and ma
terial on hand.
After tho actual cost of handling
tho rock has been (Infinitely estal-
llshed, every effort will bo made to
let out piece or station work to
American labor desiring to work on
tho sewer contract on a basla that
will allow them a reaaonnble profit
and will cost tho city no more than
If It did tho work on a day labor bn-
sis.
Four powor drill aro In now, and
four others nre on the way. Theae
will be worked to capacity imme
diately, all iKisslhle preference being
given to local lattor. Tho council
desires to push tho work to comple
tion aa rapidly a possible, and as
soon aa good weather will make fur
ther activity economical, uirrange
ments will' lie mado to Install addi
tional iower drill, operated either
by compressed air or itoam.
It. K, Koon will have entire charge
of tho work, under the direction of
tho council.
Tho plan adopted Is the result of
long consideration, and, It Is believ
ed by tho council, Insures tho best
liosslble results for the city, both
In- ultimate economy, speedy comple
tion of tho project and maximum
benefit to loos! labor.
In closing up the arrangement
with tho South Portland people, all
outstanding accounts of tho latter
will lie cared for by them, and full
receipts turned over to tho city, so
that ovcrythlng will be cleaned up
and there can bo no possibility of any
loss to merchants and others, or of
futuro tangies.

II. Deyarmond wilt erect on Green
wood avenue, near the depot. Stono

Its construction, and tho cost will Ikj
about $3500.
Plana for the building have been

Mr. Deyarmond has called for btdti
by the brick nnd ntnnn rnnlrnrlnm
I Upon tho bids submitted will depend
Mr. Deynrmond's decision between

The garage will stand on lots 6 and

of that portion of the original town
site. The entire property will bo
covered by the structure, giving a
building 100 by 60 feet In dimen

north end will run an alley, allowing
for amplo lighting facilities. Tho
walls of tho structure will bo strong;
enough to stand tho adding of a sec

will be of but one story. Tho floor
will be of cement and the roof of tar

a room 50 by 25 feet for the machine
shop, with a 1 2-foot office near the
front entrance. There will bo a wide

Work will be started as soon as wea
ther conditions will permit Mr
