O. Graham and William C. Dobbyn has an issue. The issue involves, it would appear to us, an interpretation of of the term "work and labor." Dobbyn is critical of the present mayor and council, because they did not entertain bids when It came time to line up a firm to do the engineering work on the city's soon to be installed sewer system. The challenger emphasized that he is not opposed to the installation of a sewer system, only to the way the project has been handled to date. "No one on the council has done anything wrong," he commented to us the other day. "They've just been ill advised." To substantiate his criticism of the way the selec tion of an engineering firm was made, Dobbyn points to Jacksonville's ordinance No. 2, which' provides that if the estimated cost of "work and labor" or "work, labor and materials" exceeds $5,000, the work, labor or what-have-you must be put up for bid. Mayor Graham's explanation of why the council did not ask for bids on the engineering work is that he and the councilmen were advised by their city attorney that engineering services are NOT "work and labor," but rather are professional services. If you had a pain in your arm, you wouldn't walk from doctor's office to doctor's office trying to locate the physician with the cheapest fee, Graham reasoned when we chatted with him about a month ago. Thai $2 Charge Again Another criticism Dobbyn has of the present admis tration concerns a $2 charge it placed on city water bills in order to raise funds to pay initial costs connected with the sewer project. The councilmen levied the $2 charge in order to avoid having to sell bonds immediately to cover intial project expenses, thereby believing they would save the city's taxpayers money in the long run. The council said it wanted to apply the monthly charge against front footage assessments, but was advised that such a pro cedure would be Illegal. Dobbyn, on the other hand, contends that the $2 charge could have been applied against the forthcoming sewer connection fees. He told us he had been informed that it would not have been illegal to adopt that procedure. California Woman Trying To Locate Her Birthplace in Gold Hill Gold Hill - Mrs. Wilfred Brown, North Hollywooo. Calif., recently visited a home on Sixth ave. which she be lieves to be her birthplace.
