ANOTHER ESTIMATE. The municipal electric light committee reported an estimate of $3,63i due the contractor. The itemized bill accompanying it was as follows: 85,000 brick laid 12,000 brick received 9b l' nrm fi hrif k 345 iy!o(K) feet B. M. sheeting .. . 45G 4 000 feet flooring 138 Fire clay 5 Carpenters and laborers 3.3 Erecting roof trusses .... lt0 Pole line 18 Six iron poles 9 1,000 cross arms and iron bolts 3o 3 000 feet galvanized wire ... 36 ?00 gals, oil, 400 lbs. ochre 120 Pay roll, three week9 1,485 Supt. work on pole line ...... 200 6.500 lbs W. P. wire 1,312 $7,046 80 per cent $5,637 On the sine 01 tne oiu was wnireu in pencil "From 10 to 15 per cent is meant to be added to each item for general contractor's profit." Mr. O Neal demanded an explanation of this clause, saying that it would, if allowed, run the cost of the plant up to $175,000 when the understood price was not to be over $144,000. He would never vote for the allowance of the bill unless he thoroughly understood this matter. It was understood that the profit of the coutractor was to be T j ctnt.. which would be $21,600. Mr Whelan wanted the clause; referred to stricken off the statement. , Mr. Deuker thought that would not be proper; either pay the bill as presented or send it back. t Mr. Reckers called attention to the poles which were being used. One lying on a certain street was unquestionably rotten. He had proposed to the committee to split the pole opem and see how it was inside, but the committee would not conMr Deuker staWd what he thought should be done. He did not feel fight and did not care to take any interest; he had not been treated right in council. The mayor wanted an explanation. Mr. Deuker said that when in the beginning he bad opposed some things that were being ,

done it naa oeen iDs;aua m was in the employ of the Light, Heat A Power Co. The mayor said nothing of the kind was intended. Mr. Genn said that he believed the time had come for the employment of a superintendent or some one else to protect the city's interest. ; : Mr. Mobl then asked . to know when it had ever been proposed in

council to change the statk from a brick stack to a steel stack. The change had been made, by whom and when . and where was it authorized. The contract called for a brick stack. Mr. Whelan moved the bill presented be paid. So ordered. Mr. O Neal objected. He would not vote for that or any other bill that called for that 15 per cent. Mr. Neff said this bill would make 130,000 paid to the contractor. We were paying for stuff on the ground

before it was used. He felt that in the final estimate we were putting ourselves in a position to be st uck for extras Nothing sbou'd be paid for in this contract until it was in pLiee. A commission should have beea ap pointed in the first place and he felt that a superintendent should be ap pointed at once. Mr. Kehlen brink did not want to put anotner man oa toe pav roil so long as we are paying Mr. Nelson for the work. Mr. Mahl acain asked wby it was when councilmen asked the commit tee any questions they could get no straight answers.' ; He know whenehanjjes had. bee jnadt hsTorders were they made. Why was that stack cbauged from brick to steel and by whose orders? Mr. Genn made a reply, reading the rules in the printed contract. Mr. Kehlenbrink said the chaoye was made from the nature of th ground, making the brick stack an impossibility. ine louaaanou uu cost much more then, because it was necessary. It was accord mg to a ie viaMi rtlan. Mr. Muni cou'd noi remain wi ised olan bad ever been produced in council. COMMITTEE ON ORDINANCES. Richmond, led., Nov. 1S,1U01.
