MURPHY'S BID STILL GOOD ; :
-
Court Again SustRlns City Council 10 Sherman - .
man Avclluo l'o.vlng Matter i
Yesterday mornIng Judge Ambrose delivered - I
ered nn opInion , In which Judges Keysor and
Duffie concurred , regarding the Sherman avenue -
nue pavIng mailer. It denies the petition
of W. Swcezy askIng that the city council
and Board of Public Works bo enjoined front
awarding the contract for the paving io
Hugh Murphy , who was the lowest bidder.
It finds that the city council properly set
aside the action of the Board of Public
Works In rejecting the bid , and that the
contract proposed provides for precisely what
the property owners petitioned for. The
opInIon concludes :
"This contract then provides for just
what the property owners petitioned for lust
tire material they dId select and just - the
material ter repavIng the whole street as
was ordereJ by the council In thee last ordi-
nance. Under these several notices and
ordinances and bids and contracts no other
work can bo done upon i'hls ' street In any
portion of It between curb and curb except -
cept to repave with sheet asphaltum. ThIs
being our Interpretation tf these various
proceedIngs In order to put the contract
proposed beyond any peradventure of doubt
and to save any future litigation as to tire
validity of the tax , wo would suggest that
such provlslcn , corresponding wIth this find-
Ing , bo Incorporated In tire contract In explicIt -
plicIt terms. "
The last clause of the court's opinion set-
tIes tire only question tllnt has existed In
the mInds of some of the attorneys , that of
tire validity of tire tax levIed for tire work. I
Tire lowest bidder , Murphy , expresses an' '
entire willingness to comply with the court's I
suggestion , and Incorporate In hIs contract ,
tire provision to pave tire entire surface of
the street with sheet asphaltum.
The case has been an Interesting one , beIng
tire first attempt of competitors to secure
asphalt paving contracts In taco of the
monopoly formerly held by the Barber com-
pany Tire repaving of tire avenue was or-
tIered by the council In September Property
owners on the street signed a petition for
asphaltum pavement at a price ! 10t to exceed
$2.4 a square yard. When the bids were
, opened by the Board of Public Works , It was
found that the Barber company had bid from
$2li5 to $2.67 ; John Grant , $2.40 , and hugh .
Murphy , $2.07 , or 3B cents less per cubIc yard
than the petitioners had slgnilled their will-
bigness to pay. Tire Board of PublicVorks '
rejected all bids , but the council took a hand
In tine mailer. Before any action was
reached , W. T. Seaman brought Injunction
proceodlngs In tire dIstrict court to restrain
the Board of Public Works an'.l : council from
awarding the contract to Mr. Murphy , alleging -
leging thnt his bin was Irregular In not specifying -
Ifylng the source of the asphaltum which he
proposed to use In the paving and on several
other groundB This case was heard nt
great length by Judge Keyser , who denied
the Injunction allli sustained Mr. Murphy In
every point. This was on December 19 , and
on December 2B. tire present suit was com
mencelt by Mr . Sweezy , coverIng the same
grounds advanced In tire Seaman case. The
court's decision by three JUdges , sustaIned
Judge KeYBor In e\cTY ; respect
Too IIclllJcl'Unt for 11cr '
Mary E. Latterly bas IIIed a petition In I
the district court , asking that she be granted
a 1ecree of divorce from her husband , Mal
comb , and that , she bo permitted to resume I
her maiden nanre . Mary E. ihestel The t
petition recites numerous acts of cruelty as I

I REARIG ROBERTSON'S STORY.
SpeelRt City CouncllConimitten Investigat.
In/ Chcu Against l nlln\r.
There was ' a considerable
WIS' 1 glherlng of
interested spectators In committee room A oC
the city hal yesterday afternoon , who were :
attracted by the investigation by a special !
council commlteo of the charges made
against City Engineer Josewater by C. I.
Robertson , In ex.employo of the engineering
department Robertson submitted a coin-
munlcallon 10 tire council last Tuesday nigh
In which bo Intmntell that ho had been
discharged front the service of thin city be-
cruise ho had condemned some sewer pipe
that bad been hauled by Hull & Co. for use
on the Cumlrg street sower. Mercer , Saun- .
dens nnlt Jaynes were appointed a special
commlteo to Investigate tire complaint anti
they spent a couple of hours at that task '
) 'esterdn ) ' . The result savored of the farcical .
as nothing was elicited tlat even indirectly
rellectell on the city engineer
Hobertson's story , ns tolll before that com-
mlteo , was that Io condemned a certain
amount of twent-one-Ineh pIpe on the Cum-
Ing street job Inst October lie was a rot- ,
man , but hall been called upon for advice I
by tire Inspector , wire was now at sewer
work , Soon after that ho wrote a letter to
n. Ii. Crandall , who was a member of the
firm of contractors doing the work , asking
him to bo his security for three tons of coal.
lie mantle n similar request Ilrovlousl of Mr.
)
Crll\lal and It was gmnted. 10 also wrote
to : lr. Crandall asking for a loon ot $ GO.
Some limo aler that ho was dismissed Ironic
tire service by tire city englneef nnll he
staten that In his olllnion this was because
'ho ' condemnell tire pipe. Jo was unablc 10
show airy good reason for his belief , 111 :
ndmlttell that he Iiall ' no Idea whether the '
cOl1emnell pipe was ever uscd or ret. :
Robertson camed , however , that :1 : . htc'ee- :
water ordered a lot of pipe 111aecd In another !
part of tIre sewer which was a trifle scant as !
to thlclmess. This wns e"11131ncll by : lr.
Iosewater , who said that. the variation was
from one-sixteenth to thno.sl'toenths tt nn
Inch anti this was not conside't'ri enough
to condemn a plll0 of that size tattler time circumstances -
cumstances , as otherwlso tire pipe was of cx-
ceptlonally good quality. This was cor-
roboratell by O. W. Craig the working engi-
near who has chnrge of tire sewer work fer
tire city.
Tire Investigation eves then adjourned \ ntl
Monday night to allow the , omplalnant : 10
obtain the presence of Il COUllio of wltlessts
who were present when ho con < omnell the I
