BOARD TO ASK $1,090,000 FOR FLOODJJONTROL Program Calls for Widening, Dredging White River; Contracts Upheld. City council probably will be asked for a $1,090,000 bond issue for the flood prevention program of the board of works at the next council session. John W. Holtzman, city corporation counsel, has advised the works board that the White River widening and dredging contract and the Morris St. bridge agreement let by the Duvall board of works appear to be legal. Oren S. Hack, works board president, said the board is awaiting a written opinion on the legality of the Duvall contracts National Concrete Company was awarded a $268,000 contract to remodel Morris St. bridge over White River in May, 1927, when the board was composed of Virgil Vandagrifft, Frank Cones and John W. Friday. Ouster Delayed Contract Ousting of former Mayor John L. Duvall and election of Slack who named anew board of works delayed the execution of the contract. There has been considerable objection to the National Concrete Company and which provides for lengthening the bridge at its present width. Some engineers feel that the present width will be sufficient to handle traffic for ten or twenty years. Charles Jefferson was awarded a contract for $497,000 for widening and dredging of the river between Morris and Raymond St. Judgments of $225,000 to the Granite Sand and Gravel Company and SIOO,OOO to Dilling & Cos. foreground acquired for the widening project will be Included in the bond issue, it is said. Bond Sale Unlikely It Is likely that the city vill .be unable to sell bonds because oi the litigation against Slack’s title to office.

The railroad agreed to start work thirty days after work is started and finish in ten years. END c 7 m 7 t. C. PERIOD Medals Awarded Today Preparatory to Closing Camp Thursday.
