Mo., as in Omaha during 1922 and 1923, because Omaha through the efforts of Joseph Koutsky, Commissioner of Public Improvements, maintained open and competitive bids, while St. Joe was apparently in the hands of a “Paving Combine.” Circular Distributed in St. Joe, Me. Use Your Noodle! Think-For Thought It the Seed of Action! The Paving Combine is nailing a "For Rale” sign on your property, which should not be permitted by the Roard of Public Works. Are you ready to surrender what little you possess to them without a fight? Config- \ cation is what their prices mean. The Frederick Avenue "celebration” is only a smoke screen to obscure what is going on. STUDY THIS The Roard of Public Works in Kansas City, Mo., on July 19th, 1922, advised that they allow only from $3.71 to $3.90 per square yard for paving like what is called for in the Frederick Avenue bids. The Omaha depart ment of public, improvements, July 19th, 1922, writes that for such work thev have allowed per square yard in Feb ruary, 1922. $2.64— May, $2.40, and July l*th, 1922, $2.30, and Kansas City exacts a five-year guarantee. In Des Moines, the city ailows only from $2.75 to $2.90 per square yard. On May 21st, 1919. when wages arid also materials were at the peak of high prices, the Metropoli tan Paving Company wrote to Frederick Avenue property owners that they would "guarantee to bid not to exceed $4.75 per square yard.” The contract finally awarded for the west end of Frederick Avenue this year was at $5.47 per square yard and the band Construction Company is now awarded the east end at $5.22 and St. Joseph gets only a three-year guarantee. Is there a Paving Combine here? If not, why is Frederick Avenue and Edmond Street work so sweetly ; divided between two companies? By no stretch of the imagination is there competitive bidding. It is collusion! Why does our Board of Public Works permit such imposi tions upon the people, when thpy could encourage other bidders and Break up this conspiracy to rob us? If there is not an Ethiopian under this chip, please explain why bids are accepted now, with both wages and materials at a low' price, that are so far in excess of the paving offpr made by the Metropolitan Paving Company when both wages and materials were prohibitive in price. Why are we held up for over twice at much as is allowed in Omaha, and for about fifty per cent more than Kansas City pays? Read the accompanying circular which was freely distributed in St. Joe during its fight against outrageous prices for paving. During March, 1924, Omaha faced the possibility of paying “com bine” prices for paving. Read carefully the resolutions passed by the Chamber of Commerce and Real Estate Board. Copy of Resolution Passed by Chamber of Commerce March 4, 1924 ! To the Honorable Board of City Commissioners, Omaha, Nebraska. Gentlemen: At the meeting of the Executive Com mittee of the Omaha Chamber of Com merce, held today, a report was.sub ; mitted from the Municipal Affairs Com ! mittee concerning the present con troversy in the awaj^jng of contracts I for new paving work on which the city recently advertised for bids. After careful consideration, it was ; unanimously voted by the Executive Committee of this organization that the bids submitted by the Flynn Paving | Company and the A. H. Reed Company, which were the lowest bids, should be ! accepted and the contracts so awarded. It is the belief of the Executive Com | mittee that the taxpayers of this city will be best served by an action of this kind on the part of the city commission. Very respectfullv, , J. DAVID LARSON, Commissioner. Copy #f Resolution Posted by Real Estata Board March 0. 1924. Mayor and Commlssioaara mt Omaha, City Hall, Gentlemen! W# beg to submit to your honorable body here with the following report of the Civie Improve ment* and Taxation Committee* of the Omaha Real Estate Board, whieh report was unanimously adopt ed hy the Omaha Real Estate Board on Wednesday, March 5th: A joint meeting of your Civic Improvement* Cora | mittee and Taxation Committee was held Tuesday, March 4. for the purpose of considering paving bids ss recently submitted to the City of Omaha. The committee* were unanimously in favor of accepting the lowest bids as submitted for pros pective paving projects. Tht* action was taken for the following reasons: It was believed that the awarding of these con* ' tract* to the low bidder# on these prospective project* will have the effect of encouraging general and fair competition in the future, and that if the bid* are reopened at thia time and new bid* secured, while it might result in a slight saving, it would effectively preclude outside competition j in the future. It is the opinion of officer* and member* of the Omaha Real Estata Board that in order to assure the taxpayer* as low-a*-po**ible price* for paving, it is absolutely nece«*ary that there will always h' competition for this work, and furthermore, that this competition include contractors who do not live in Omaha. The Omaha Real Estate Foard believes your honorable body ha* no intention of taking any action that would have any tendency to preclude outside competition in paving or other public work in the fity of Omaha—knowing that this is the most effective wsy of getting the lowest possible t . Your# very truly. OMAHA REAL ESTATE BOARD By Leo B. Bosell, Executive Secretary James 0. Dehlnun Joseph Koutsky Henry W. Dunn Dean Novel * Joseph B Hummel John Hopkins These men on March 10,1924, by their affirmative vote effectively blocked a paving combine in Omaha, the only negative vote being Dan Butler. Paving taxes are paid by home owners directly, and tenants indirectly through rent. Vote for the Square Six and continue to maintain low paving prices, which in the past has enabled Omaha to become one of the best paved cities in the United States.
