COWLING BIVEN SIDEWALK JOB BY COUNGILMEN Low Bid Is for $3,391.50 —Call Issued for Paving Downtown Streets Because his estimate was more than $300 lower than any other, E. J. Cowling was awarded the, contract to pave 6,140 square feet; of sidewalk on Main Street by the City Council at its last 1934-35 ses- | slon, held last night in the City Hall. 1 Cowling's successful bid for the| Public Works Administration loan project, including sidewalks on both| sides of Main Street from Front Street to Sixth Street, was for $3,391.50. The second low bid was sub-| mitted by the Warrack -Construc; tion Company and was for $3,747.50. Other bids were: $3,841.50 by Hans Berg, and $4,066 by G. E. Krause. Bid Held High Cowling’s bid, it was unofficially reported today by a City Hall spokesman, was somewhat higher than had been expected, but, it was explained, the higher esti- mate was due to the increased cost of labor and materials. But the awarding of the sidewalk contract served only to whet the Council’s appetite for the largest PWA paving project, that of Xm-‘ proving downtown streets. So it au- thorized City Clerk A. W. Henning to. issue a call for bids on paving 11 blocks of city streets, This call, pending arrangements of a few minor details, will not be made for a few days. This new call for bids, which| includes by far the largest PWA project that the city contemplates, will allow for paving of the follow- ing streets: Main Street, from ®Front to Fourth; Franklin Avenue, from First to Fourth; Fourth Ave- nue from Franklin to Main; Sew- ard Avenue, from Third to Fourth, and Second Avenue, from Franklin to Main. Vote Officials Named The second important item of business contemplated by the City Fathers last night was the naming of judges and clerks of three pre- cincts for the coming general mu- nicipal election, scheduled for April 2. The First Precinct officers are: WJudges—John MecLaughlin, Dean C. E. Rice, Rev. E. K. Olafson; clerks—Mrs, E. H. Kaser, Bob Toussaint. The Second Precinct of- ficers are: Judges—Agnes Manning, {LEROY VESTAL HAS agement of the D. B. Femmer Dock and the Pacific Coast Dock, rela- tive to the 75 cents added freight charge per ton which was levied following the recent longshore strike. The dock managers, in a reply to a Council query, wrote that they had not had a long enough time to adjust the added rate. As a final business detail, the Council directed City Clerk Hen- ning to prepare a delinquent tax roll, listing all property on which taxes had not been paid by yester- day—the final date for payment— or on which satisfactory arrange- ments for future payments had not been made. All councilmen except Henry Messerschmidt and George Rice, were present. Van's Brandy, 100 proof, pints 85c. SEE TOTEM GROCERY. adv.

In speaking of the receipt of the funds, Mr. Hesse said: “As a PWA project the Pioneers’ Home at Sitka occupies a rather unique position. An application for a PWA grant to the Territory was made December 29, 1933, and on April 15, 1934, work was started on the building without of course any knowledge as to what the PWA regulations were. We could not wait to find out whether or not' this grant was to be allowed nor could we operate under the rules of a grant that had not yet been awarded. “In December, 1934, the building was completed all with Territorial funds. This month we received our first installment from the Federal Government on a project that had been completed before any actual grant was made. and in connection with which some infringements with PWA regulations were noted. “One of the principal features of our infringement involved the compensation of workmen on the building under the various con- tractors anfl subcontractors, and necessitated adjustment with work- men to satisfy PWA regulations. “The Territory is making a sin- cere effort to comply in all re- spects with all requirements and as a result workmen who were employed on sthe building are re- ceiving nearly $7,000 in bonuses.” e ST.
