I contract was awarderl April 2S, 1!>12.
land the City Engineer reports thatj
nothing has been done, in spite of nvo I
notices to the company, In this con?
nection we beg to call attention to the
fact that this company has never In?
tended to relay the track In question,
as it Is In ftood .-ondltlon and any re?
construction Is unnecessary. Mr. Roll?
ins was duly Informed of the com- [
pany's attitude In the premises and I
was requested to inform th* com pa n 3
if Its position In the matter was not ]
entirely to his t atisfuction. This he
failed to do. but reported the matter I
to the Street Committee at Its last ses?
sion In July and asked that the com- I
pany be required to relay Its tracks
Fortunately, a representative of the!
company was present, and after an ex?
planation the Street committee de-,
"lined to require the Imposition of such |
nn unnecessary burden upon the com- j
pany. but directed that th? tracks be
i repaired where necessary and the p?v
:Ip.k he? commenced ?s soon at posslbie.
I t'nder the torms of the contract made
by the company, thts work will pro
ced along with the preparation r.f th"
j street for paving, and it is reep ctfull>
urxed that the company Is In no sense
in default.

i md Allison The onl> delay that this:
company has caused in this work has
been due to |ts desire, approved by the
committee and the Council, to u;-,e the
I type of construction more modern.
more rostiv and more economical to'
j operate and maintain, as above '-x
plalned.

I <."> Mam street, between Fifth and
Seventh The company did the win k of
reconstruction of Its trrickn hm soon as
I Informed by the City Engineer that we
j could go ahead, as the contract f*>r i
paving had been awarded. This par-]
tlcular work was skipped during con
struetlon of other Main Street worn
I because of direction from : ? >/;; . |-n.
. glneer not to proceed until the author- ?
; Izatlon for the new typi ol paving had
'been approved. The company has!
never delayed this work for one, mo- i
j ment. it endeavored to ente: into a
contract with the city's contractor as I
'soon as apprised of the city's contract, j
jand made various concessions to the]
i contractor In order to facilitate the
, city's work, all of which was brought i
?prompt!) and regular*: to the atten
[ "?" ,,f ,h> City Engineer and was ap?
proved by him. On th- r. fu-..i of tne
city's contractor at first to do trie work I
j for the company at the price charged!
.the city, tn. company was thereby ie.
leased from Its franchise obligation
I to employ the said contractor, and sr.- ?
I cured l ids from other contractors so
to facilitate the work, hut the City
Engineer refused to allow any other
.contractor to do the complete work ot
I paving chargeable to the company ex-'
icopt between the rails and between tne
i tracks.
The contractor finally yielded In
(view of concessions made b this!
, comsany permitting him to do the!
concrete work, which Is not required]
by the company's franchise, and coeV
tract has been entered into by this]
I company, as has been by the city.
, The company's construction work, has
J been completed several weeks, except
approximately -00 feel west of Sev-i
|enth Street crossing, which considera?
tion foi th,- travelling public makes!
, undesirable to open up until the oth?
er p.tvlnp; hns been done, or until the!
contractor Is actually ready to pave j
the entire street; and our lates ndvices
: from him are to the effort that hi? I
Ibas not yet n sufficient supply of
'.blocks. We are not advised why the,
? contractor has not .'one the work :
I of pavinp; for the elf. and this mm
'pany. If the city cannot for,e him to'
jdo so. wo cannot, as the work hnr. '
, to he don" simultaneously. In this;
particular tnattei also the company Is
guiltless of any delay whatsoever
No riolny t,y Car Company.
I From the above statement it will :
he seen that of the five Instances of
I delay charged ajtalnst this company
I by the City Engineer's report of Att
! gust 21, the company has not caused!
ia single delay, except In the case ot
Hohlnson Street, which has been fully
i xplatned.
It is proper to add thai the. com
panj is also undo: obligation to do
considerable work in other localities,
which it is prepared to do promptly,
The City Engineer Is reported to
have said in substance that this com-;
pint had difficulty In persuading the]
! city's contractors to take the com- j
pony's pnvlnR work at the same :
j prices chanted the city, because of
the new eenstrti tlon approved by the,
Street Committee anl the Council, hut!
still disapproved by the City Engl
nee:-, and that In the raSc of the |
work on Main Street, between Fifth
and Seventh, the contractor wns mi- I
willing to guarantee his work he-!
cause cf that construction If cOr
! rectly reported, the City Engineer has1
?don" the rompanj an injustice, as th"
only objections that we have heard
from any contractor hnvlnc reference
to the now method of const rtict Ion
? were stated to us to have been suk
I gesteel to them by the City Engineer.
In any event this Is no longer a
