CONTRACTOR WICKHAM IS WARM Calls tonne 1 1 mum J en seal and Offers a Famish Work for Contractor at Figures Mentioned by t'oanrllmrn. The city council spent an hour last night discussing the sidewalk situation, but be- ond referring the whole matter to a com mittee consisting of Coundlmen Jensen. Morgan and Bellinger, failed to accomplish nythlng. The meeting partook very much of the nhturc of "talkfest" and at times all of he coundlmen present appeared anxious to speak at the same time. Contractor E. A. Wlckhsm was present snd did his share of the talking. When Councilman Jensen complained of many contractors for sidewalks being un completed, Mr. Wlckham bucked up his end of the argument by asserting at fre- ueni Intervals that the fault was not his nd that the reason the sidewalks had not been constructed was because the city engineer and his force of assistants had been too busy with other work to set the stakes for him. Several of the coundlmen expressed them selves aa being In favor of cancelling all he outstanding contracts and letting new onea, when It was ascertained what walks were needed fn each ward. This seemed to be favored by most of the coundlmen owing to the fact that It was the con census of opinion that cement should be substituted for brick wherever feasible. "I think It would be the best policy for the council to order cement sidewalks In place of brick," declared Councilman Jen sen. I have assurance fmm an outside con tractor that he would be willing, If award- d the contract, to lay the cement walks for BH centa a foot and this would cor- alnly be cheaper than wo htave been get ting them laid.'" This brought Contractor Wlckham to hla feet, who said with considerable warmth. "1 don't know who the contrac tor Is that Mr. Jensen refers to, but I do know this much that this contractor need not do business with the city as 1 stand ready and willing to give him all he cement walks he can lay and pay him 1V cents a foot for thorn. There Is nothing absolutely In this talk of a man laying cement walks for 6 cents. It cannot be done and that Is all there's to It. I am ready to stake all the money T have got and my reputation to boot, that cement walka which would comply with the speci fications of the city engineer cannot be aid for the sum mentioned by Mr. Jensen." There waa some Informal discussion over the paving proposed to be done this year, but after one hour the oratory of the coundlmen appeared to be exhauated and the council adjourned to next Monday night, when a report from the special com mittee on sidewalks is looked for.
