GROAT LOSES CEMENT WORK Submits Lowest Bid, but Fails to Specify Price for Alley Crossings—Paving. A mile and a half of cement sidewalks and curbing was bid off by the city trustees on Thursday evening to C. Schindler & Son, who were authorized to begin work upon the same immediately. The streets to be improved are Chestnut from Los Angeles to Palm, Cypress from Lemon to Palm, Oak from Lemon to Palm, and Claudina from Broadway to the Southern Pacific tracks on Santa Ana street. The cost of the work is approximately $2400 for curbing and $4400 for sidewalks, a total of $6800. Three bids were received as follows: From C. E. Groat, 27 cents per linear foot for curbing, 9½ cents per square foot for sidewalks. C. Schindler & Son—28 cents for curbing, 10 for sidewalks, 14 cents per square foot for alley crossings. H. H. Gardner & Co.—29¼ cents for curbing, 10 cents for sidewalks, 14 cents for alley crossings. Groat's bid was by odds the cheapest, but inasmuch as he failed to specify the price for alley crossings, as required by specifications, his bid was not considered, and award was made to C. Schindler & Son. Mrs. Groat later telephoned to learn of the board’s decision, and informed the clerk that her husband’s bid of 10 cents per square foot for sidewalks immediately upon completion of this provement raise the price of your from $300 to $500. You are the person who should pay for it, because you benefit of it. It is not right to other citizens to pay for it. You use of the street, and you are the person who should pay for it." Trustee Stock put in a good work oiling, saying he had seen some fine streets thus treated. Mayor Rust said the board would consider paving if a majority oferty-owners petitioned for it, would probably exercise its own ment as to the extent of the zone paved. Attorney Melrose being called regarding law points in the case that a majority frontage in any trict proposed to be paved was su rent to legally carry on the work majority in each separate block said, was not necessary. He said if the city decided to pay for the cost, a special tax for such pu would have to be voted, as the tru could not take money from the ge fund for such purposes. After further discussion the contee withdrew, and will take up matter of securing additional satures to the paving petition. The board seemed to be of opinion that street paying might advanously go over for a time. Frank Fox was granted permission building a $500 addition to hisidence on Oak street, and Wm. was granted permit to erect a barn on East Broadway. H. Deutsch wrote from Los An asking the board to pass an order cement sidewalks and curbing on streets in his tract. The board already adopted an order for sidewalk and curbing on parts of streets in tract Mr. Deutsch desires tha Groat's bid was by odds the cheapest, but inasmuch as he failed to specify the price for alley crossings, as required by specifications, his bid was not considered, and award was made to C. Schindler & Son. Mrs. Groat later telephoned to learn of the board's decision, and informed the clerk that her husband's bid of 10 cents per square foot for sidewalks included alley crossings. The board resolved to stand by its action in awarding contract to Schindler, holding Groat's failure to specify price for alley crossings was a fatal defect in his bid. The United Iron Works submitted a bid for installing two centrifugal pumps, at $1047.50 each. The bid provided for thirty-horse power motors to accompany the pumps, whereas the city desires twenty-five horse power motors. An agent of the company stated that the reason for not bidding upon the smaller motor was because of his firm's inability to procure them in reasonable time. He had ordered one, he said, in November, and had recently been informed it would probably be delivered in a month or two. Replying to a question by Mayor Rust as to whether he could obtain delivery on thirty h. p. motors, he said he could, adding that he knew where two such motors were, provided, he went on laconically, some one else does not get them first. Inasmuch as the needs of the city are for a 25 h. p. motor, which can be more economically propelled than the one of larger capacity, the board rejected the bid, upon the ground that it did not comply with the requirements of the specifications. The board decided to readvertise for pumps and motors, of 25 and 30 horse power, giving contractors an option upon bidding upon either or both, and Mr. Schenck in the mean time to take a run about Los Angeles and ascertain why other pump men were not in evidence. Bids will be opened on Monday evening, April 15. The advertisement calling for bids will be found in an adjoining column. S. J. Smith wrote regarding recent shipment of supplies for new powerhouse, assuring the board that all missing articles will be forwarded as soon as received from the factory east. The board accepted the ex- S. J. Smith wrote regarding recent shipment of supplies for new powerhouse, assuring the board that all missing articles will be forwarded as soon as received from the factory east. The board accepted the explanation, and instructed Clerk Merritt to forward firm check for $465, which had been held up at a previous meeting on account of non-receipt of entire invoice. J. Resh and Capt. Williams, representing the chamber of commerce, appeared before the board, the former addressing it upon the question of street paving. He asked, first, whether the board had decided to pave only a few squares in the center of town, or a larger area, extending from the railroad depots to Palm street on the west and Sycamore on the north. Mayor Rust informed him politely that the board had as yet not officially considered either. Resh argued in support of paved streets, but admitted the committee of the chamber of commerce had encountered opposition to paving among property-owners in the outer limits of the zone. He suggested as a compromise that streets in the center of town be paved and that outlying portions be treated to oil. He also suggested that if the entire area be paved the city assist property-owners in meeting the cost of work. Trustee Fiscus vigorously combated the latter suggestion. "You ask that the city help pay the cost of paving. Now, all you people living on the streets proposed to be paved will im- have signified their willingness to scribe a monthly fee of $1, instead fifty cents, as formerly. A petition was received from Santa Ana chamber of commerce for funds to defray expenses of gentlemen recently engaged at Simento defeating the Stanton bill; er communities in the county are tributing to the fund. It was de- to take the matter up with the chants' association and arrive at conclusion as to the propriety o-culating the petition.
