At the meeting of the city fathers yesterday afternoon contracts were let by them for the construction of local sewers Nos. 8 and 9, both of the contracts going to P. F. McVeigh. There was only three bids turned in on this sewer contract, but all of them were very close, McVeagh having a margin of 300 on one and $68 on another on an
$S,500 bid. The construction of the two j patronized local sewers will be started at once.

for the lockers, coat racks, etc., which
uk useu to equip the new fire and police station. This contract was given to the Art Metal Construction company of Chicago. The amount of the bid was $678. The company agreed to deliver the material in six days, so as to have it ready for the new city hall. The contract was also let for the paving of the jog in Madison street, south of the Wabash tracks. This was let to the Creutz & James Co. for $56S. Madison street does not run straight south from the Wabash tracks, but jogs slightly to the west jurt across the Wabash right of way. It is just that distance that the street fails to be In line at this point that will have to be
paved. In the matter of the letting of the coal contract, which was to be done yesterday, it was found that the bids on certain brand of coal did not apply to the samples which were given the
Doard. The matter was then referred to a committee, consisting of Millard Caldwell and John Sears, for the purpose of investigating the matter still further, and entering into a contract, which will be ratified bv the board

Stands for Tariff Revision and May Be Punished
by Cannon. Washington, D. C. July 13. There 1 much speculation as to what the speaker may "do" to Representative Crumpacker in re-arranging his committee assignments. Judge Crumpacker is now chairman of the census committee In the latter capacity he participated in the framing of the tariff bi'l His at titude on that measure was anything but pleasing to the speaker. He stood from start to finish for a lower revision than suited such an ardent standpatter as "Uncle Joe." In fact, of all the republican members of the committee his voice and influen
