Manager Pope of tho Pioneer Tele phone Company had nn Informal meeting with tho City Council Inst week, endeavoring to get that body to chango Its order that his company place its lines In tho alleys In the cen tral district. Instead of Improving tho lines on the streets as proposed. After hearing Mr. Pope's sldo of tho mat ter, the council unanimously decided to remain with their former decision, so that the Improved lines will be placed in the alleys. X)YOTKS OOMK TO TOWN. That tho recent heavy snow Is working a hardship on wild animals was shown last Thursday when a coy ote promenaded through tho resident district well within tho city limits, apparently in search of something with which to fill his empty stomach; He was a very lean coyote, was this visitor, and bis tall hung between his logs as he slunk through Park addition, where he was seen by many residents. NEW WATKK SYSTEM ItEAUY. Water was turned Into the mains of the new gravity water system at Redmond last week, says tho Spokes man, but owing to a leak In one of the pipes Contractor Buffton has not Been fit to turn the plant over to the city for its acceptance. It is ex pected the plant will be In, condition this week for the city council to go over tho lino and Inspect that, the reservoir and the pumping plant at the Deschutes river. SEWER PUNS DDE OUTLINED (Continued from Page One) conclusions were reached: It was found that the contractors had next to no financial backing the best that could be hoped was that they would dally along with the work for a while and then "go broke."" In the meantime there would be great delay and a lot of merited dissatis faction, because they would not biro local labor. Further, It already was clear that It would 1k Impossible for them to get more sub-contractors, as every "sub" had loBt money heavi ly nt the price tho contractor woto nblu to pay. To accept this plan seemed to bo simply postponing the Inevitable. Plan No, 9, theoretically, looked sood. Hut Investigation showod that while legally it would bo possible to forco tho bonding company to com. plete tho work, there was no doubt that they would fight tho mnttor to u finish; there would bo months of do lay tho town would got a black eye both from tho standpoint of labor and Investment and tho uUlmnta cost to tho city would bo groat, not only through tho delay and resulting harm, financial and otherwise, but also through tno actual cost of lltl. gallon and ultlmnto cettlomout, which might run far up In tho thous ands of dollars. Plan No. 3 appeared Inadvisable. One rcasoti wns tho great delay that would result, setting back tho com pletion of tho project sotcrnl months at least (through tho tlmo of advor. Using (or bids, etc.) and In tho mean- whllo working a hardship on local labor, merchants and tho town In general. Hut tho chief thing against this plan was the fact that It Inevi tably would cost tho city heavily. Contractors coming in now would see enough completed work so that they could tell Just what tho amount thus far completed actually cost; but tho amount dono to dato Is tho most dif ficult on tho entire Job and was done under very adverse weather condi tions and by men unfamiliar with the rock work and sowor work In general. Further, contractors fig ure IS por cent profit, usually. Add ing this to the actual cost of tho work as It would be estimated from the amount already done, tho figure would go far abovo what It would be possible for the city to completo it for Itself, even If started with the handicaps a new contractor would be gin with, such as the cost of Import. Ing equipment, unfamlllarlty with the Job, etc Proposition No. 4 was then accept ed. The plan Is about as follows: Engineer It. E. Koon, wno has had charge of the engineering work, who planned the entire system, and who has 1mm n in Uend for a year, Is given chargo of the construction, hiring engineering and office help. For this work he gets an additional C per cent of the total cost of the balance of the system, or probably about $4000. The work has progressed far enough so that tho engineer vna able to show tho council exactly what It has cost. On this hauls, It Is reckon ed that tho entire coat will bo well within tho original esttmatu, for oven tho work dono thus fur tho hardest of nil comas undor tho cstlmnted figures, bnd weather and tilt nut Htnndlng. (Tho complete oiIkIiuiI OKttmntu Is publlshud below.) Compared with plan No, :t, this tneaus a theoretics! lessoning of cost to tho city or the difference between 0 and 15 per cent, or about l per cent. Hut n greater saving la ex pected, becnuso In tho arrangement whereby the contractors worn let out tho city gotj the frco use of nearly $2000 worth of tools nud cuutpmont until tho Job Is Mulshed (moaning practically tho saving of thut umount) and also Is ahead at least kl200 on tho work nlrcndy don, which, If tho city had dono it, would hnvo cost that much mora than the amount actually pnld tho con tractors to date. As regards tho financial end of the project. Tho council pays all mater ial bills nt their rogular meetings. Labor nud minor bills arc paid by tho construction engineer. Coloring the maximum amount Hint ho will over handle, ho has given the city n bond for $5000. Each month a detailed report, showing exactly "what has been done, what It has cost, and whero every cent has gone, Is to be published. The council, sowor com mltteo and any citizen properly in. terested, has the privilege of Inspect ing all IxHiks nt any time. In other words, tho expenditure of every cent will be as public us possible. No members of tho council or of any committee hnvo the authority to spend any of tho sewer funds, ex cept with tho authorization of the entire body. As regards labor. This plan will be adopted so as to give American labor tho very best chnnco tKisslblo and keep as much money as possible In town. Within a few weeks the actual cost of handling rock will have been established. Thereafter, piece or station work will be let out to those who want It. on tho basis of tb actual cost, under day labor, to the city. This will give the station men an opportunity to do alt tho work they want, and to make better than straight day wages. Concerning the ulllmato cost. It has been said: "Under this arrange ment tho engineer's Interest will bo to keep tho work going as long as possible and make It cost as much as possible." Tho answer to this criticism Is this: First, the engineer will re ceive a lump sum for tho entire wM ' ?)7T Wf iz.z & .- itV.f JJT j ) 1 . 1 SvWui.-Sfl XrV A.UliMfifl.eioMT.M' f Si-Mat 'u2 NnW f?SM r ' 3tiwnwup(0 r - uaviier7?7 " fr ;j. 13 r7 ife, . o wmisi. iwtmwc ... ?"

One answer to the second complaint that he might favor "soaking" the city Is that he has mora at stake than sny property owner In Uend. I Jfm dsat9 Claa I & VtA. ""'I ! ntruuttlictmiilrf.
