COMMISSION 70 ASK BOND FROM PAVING EXPERT Every Posible Precaution to Be Taken to Give City Its Money’s Worth TIRED OF BUMPING BUMPS Fourth Street Property-Owner Asks That Railway Be Paved at Crossings Determintd that the taxpayers shall get their money’s worth from the $338,- 000 street improvement to be made in the inspecto gineer to furnish a suitable bond. t Commissioner Larson, arguing in favor of his motion at the city com- imission’s weekly session, declared it not so much a question of the hon- esty of the inspector employed nor a guaranty that he would not accept money for passing a poor job, as it employed by the city en the professional services of such in- spector will be of the highest possible type, and that he will not through carelessness or inattention permit any- thing to be slipped over on the city. Mayor Lucas and Commissioners Bert and French agreed with Com- misioner Larson, and expressed the opinion that a requirement that the paving inspector furnish a suitable bond, possibly of $25,000, without ex- pense to himself, inasmuch as the.city will pay the premium, be included in the contract for engineering services ‘\which was presented for the commis- sion’s approval last evening. Under the terms of this contract, City En- gireer Atkinson would assume all en- gineering and inspection expenses in conection with the job, and would re- was to give the elty assurance that# ability of any inspector who might be ceive as remuneration five per cent commission on the contract, Commissioner Thompson did not dis- Bismarek’s third paving district, City Commissioner John A. Larson last evening advanced the argument that a, but advanced the su; estion that it might be best to give the paving inspector a jail sentence to begin with as a guaranty or honesty jand faithful performance. City En- gineer Atkinson informed the commis- sion that the idea was new to him and that he knew of no instance where such a bond had been required of any professional man, He doubted the engaged to give a sizable bond, but ex- pressed the opinion that he, as ‘city. engineer, would be required to furnish this surety. Mr, Atkinson stated, how- ever, that the Portland Cement asso- ciation was very anxious to see Bis- marck get a good job of concrete, as an advertisement for this type of pave- ment in North Dakota, and that he had been advised by this association that it might be in position to furnish an inspector. In that event he thought a bond of any size the city commission might designate could easily be pro- cured, The matter was left open for discussion with the paving committee. STREET RAILWAY PAVING. The fact that the capitol street rail- way does not improve the appearance or riding qualities of Fourth ‘street, especially at street intersections begin- ning with Rosser ana extending to Aveiue F, was brought to the atten- tion of the commission by a Fourth street property-holder who hoped that some means might be devised of bring- ing the railway down to grade and paving between the rails at these crossings.

O’Hare reported the appointment of C, L. Young to act in his behalf during a vacation which the city’s legal advisor has planned. B. E. Jones advised the commission that the hearing on water rates and service before the state railway com- rmision might come up during Mr, O’- Hare’s absence and stated that the ‘citizens’ committee’ back of the .in- vestigation would like to have Mr, Young formally advised to this effect and also notified that if he began the prosecution of the citizens’ case during Mr. O’Hare’s absence he would be re- tained to finish the ltigation, A res- olution to this effect was adopted with Commissioner Thompson voting no on the ground that Bismarck had a city attorney und that the resolution: and its contents were superfluous, COUNTY SPENDS $40,000.00 AIDING COUNTY FARMERS Fighting Grasshopper Epidemic CLOSING OUT SALE Plymouth Binding Twine Standard, 500 ft.

Paralleling this repair cost record is the obvious and well- known<gas, tire, and oil mileage economy of the Maxwell truck —so accepted in the trade and by the public that it no longer is a subject of comment. Like a horse,.a truck must be sound to be useful. A truck often seeking the aid of mechanics is like a sick horse. Maxwell, as these repair figures show, is a well nigh perfect piece of machinery. And when you consider the cost —chassis price $1185 f.0.b. Detroit—you can easily figure what a great money earner it is. Many: Maxwells pay back their cost in a year’s time.
