Bids for Repaying
Broadway and
Pierce Are Opened
City Engineer Will Tabulate Them
for Consideration of Special
Meeting; of Council.
Bids for the work of removing all of
the granite blocks on Broadway and re
paving It with Galesburg block with
asphalt filler were opened by the city
council last night, and at the request of
Mayor Maloney the council will meet
again tomorrow evening to receive the
report of City Engineer Etnyre, who was
Instructed to tabulate the bids In the
meantime. Incidentally the mayor an
nounced that he had on his fighting
clothes and would request the council at
the meeting on Wednesday night to In
struct the contractor to begin the work
of repaying on next Monday morning. In
the same vein he anhounced that the wire
companies had paid no attention to his
repeated urging to put In their conduits,
and that they would be required to Im
mediately remove their poles from the
street and use the alleys. .
There were a number of representa
tives of big eastern paving material com
panies present Including G. W. Matteson,
president of the Purlngton Paving Block
company .of Galesburg, III.; Secretary
Phillips and General Sales Agent Schults
of the Standard and American Asphalt
companies, and W. O. D. Orr, of .'Gales
burg, one of the paving bidders. The bids
opened last night Included also the pav
ing on East Pierce street and the curbing
and guttering of North Harrison street.
For the Broadway paving G. W. D. . Orr
St Co. of Galesburg, offered to do
the work ' according to specifications
for $2,044 a yard, n.M per cubic
yard for extra sand and 12.50 for extra
stone required. If asphalt filler Is used SO
cents per yard must be added with 4 pr
cent extra for certificates. They offered
334 cents per yard for the granite blocks,

lngton, Buffalo or Pes Molnee block, Si S9
for extra sand. 2.!0 for additional stone.

extra for certificates and SS cents per

For Eaat Pierce street there was only one
bid. that of E. A. Wlekham . Co., J2.0B
per yard for either Buffalo, Des Moines or
Purlngton block, and IS cents additional
for asphn.lt filler, with I per cent extra tor
certified The apparently higher price
asked for the Pierce street paving Is due
to the tact that there Is sufficient sand and
broken stone underneath the Broadway
paving to make the five-Inch concrete base,
while Pierce street Is all new work.
Bids were also, opened for all , of the
sewers recently ordered by the council.
Wlekham A Co. bid for all six-Inch sewers

all grading. Peter Nelson's bid was t
cems lor me curmng ana a cents per yen

60 cents a foot and SO cents for the grad
ing. All bids were referred to the engineer
for tabulation.
The report of City Engineer Etnyre
recommending Improvement of the storm
sewer inlets on, Broadway was concurred
in and he was Instruoted to begin the work

basins will be constructed In front 'of the
Ogden house, the Tounkerman Seed com
pany's building and the Neumayer hotel,
also new basins and relocations of the old

streets. New catch basins will also be
made all the way down Broadway on both
sides of the street from Tenth street, with
the paving brought to the curb In the rear
of each. .
The .committee of the whole reported
that Robert Wallace, representing the Wal
nut Hill Cemetery association, had offered
to promptly pay for the paving the full
length of the cemetery, 4J0 feet, on East
Pierce street.
Mrs. Dan Aaher. who was seriously In
jured when she was thrown from her buggy
on North Eighth street several days,
sustaining a broken leg and a broken arm,
served notice of a suit against the city
and the street railway company for 5.0no
damages, claiming that the accident was
due to the negligence of both. The run
away happened near the point where the
car line extension Is being made.
The council did a great deal of minor
business. Mrs. F. Ryan, a widow, owner
of two lots, Mra. John Morgel, who owns
six lots, and Sirs. B. Nolan, who' has ne
houae and loVand three children, petitioned
the council for the remission of their tsxes,
declaring they were unable to pay. All
were referred to the Judiciary committee.
The application of the Magic City Realty
company, for permission to construct a
sewer under the alley from Fifteenth to
Sixteenth avenues was referred to ' the
police and the health committee with power
to act. The question of repaying Willow
avenue south of Bayllss park was referred
to Alderman Beebe with Instructions - to
confer with the park board. '
A spirited controversy followed when
Alderman Mlnnlck offered a resolution in
structing the chief of police to prevent
automobiles standing at the. curb between
North Main and Scott streets. It was
amended by Alderman Fisher to Include
South Main street from Broadway to First
Avenue, and to Include express wagons
also. Alderman Beebe made a strong fight
against the adoption of the resolution, de
claring that Its purpose was to run these
for hire vehicles off the streets altogether.
He won a majority of the alderman to his
view and the resolution was killed.
Reductions in sewer ana other assess
ments were made at the request of Mrs.
Marie Jackson, F. W. Miller, Eugene
Anderson and refused In the cases of
Charles Chrlstoferson, the Benjamln-Fehr
Real Estate company and others.
ARGUMENT IN WATER CASE

rhaae Price raid to New lork
Bank, bat Jedse Desaare.
Judge Smith McPherson was In town for
a couple of houra Monday and held a
brief session of the federal court In
chambers Attorney John F. Btout ot

ing to name the New Tork bank In which
the money should be deposited when Judge

declaring that under no circumstances
would he allow, the money to be taken out
of the Jurisdiction of the court until every
phase of the water works condemnation
had been fully adjudicated.
