Job in 30 Days PRES J 4 At a meeting of the board of publie works last night, it was voted to rec- ommend to the common council that contracts be entered into with the Im- mick Construction company of Mer- iden for paving Park street, at a cost of $14,180, the work to be done in 30 working days. Four Bids Considered. Four blds were considered, as fol- lows: The National Construction Company of Hartford, $21,631, forty working days; Berardino and Monoc- chio of 80 Franklin avenue, Hart- ford, $18,827.50, seventy working days; Joseph Battoglio and Paul Liardi, 737 West Main street, New Britain, $16,487.50, sixty-five working days; The Immick Company of Mer- iden, $14,180, thirty working days. Bids from four local concerns on cement were read, but no action on purchase was taken. City Engineer J. D. Williams secured the figures to have on hand In case the board de- cided to furnish contractors with ce- ment. The profit would be small, the board reasoned, and the idea was dropped. C. A. Hjefpe was given permission to place an {lluminated sign in front of 73 Arch street. The sign will ex- tend three feet over the street line. Hjerpe's application had been ap- proved by the building inspectdr. The Chamber of Commerce was given permission to place small ban- ners on trees, advertising the Swarth- more chautauqua. $2,400 For Fence. Reporting on the cost of a fence to inclose the proposed Camp school playground, the city engineer said the cost would be $2,400, but he did not feel that the money should come from the public works account. The board had been asked to secure a figure but it was not specified that construction: of the fence should be undertaken by that particular depart- ment. City Engineer Williams was em- powered‘ to enter into contracts with the Millane Tree company for the spraying of 600 elm trees, provided a suitable figure is given. ‘Wooster Street Action. To relieve conditions about Wooster street and Quartet park, it was voted to have water mains to drain off sur- face water, and property owners were ordered to install curbs and gutters on or hefore September 15. Commissioners T. W. Crowe and P. C. Mclntyre, a committee of the board ‘to consider the present wage | disagreements which have resulted in 90 employes of the department refus- ing to work, submitted the following schedule, which was adopted: Each construction gang to consist of two pipe layers at 50 cents an hour; two bracers at 45 cents an hour; laborers in the trench, 40 cents; those on top 30 and 35 cents an hour, according to their ability. Di Nonno Objects. Commissioner John Di Nonno ob- jected to the two prices, fearing there might be discrimination on the part of a foreman. Chairman Crowe eaid but a few would recelve 30 cents, they being men who have been with the city for many years and are inca- pacitated for work that would make them worth more money to the city. Their duties are greasing wheelbar- rows, carrying water, etc. Common labor will receive 85 cents, and the white wings, 30 cents. The requested half holiday on Sat- urday, with pay, was refused, ‘With the exception of the macadam cleaners, this wage adjustment amounts to a five-cent-per-hour {n- crease, The hoard was of the belief that the “white wings” were not en- titled to 40 cents an hour, as re- quested, several members expressing themselves as dissatisfied with the manner in which they do their work. White Wings “Crabbed". Commissioners Martin H. Kenney and John F. Di Nonno led the board in its "crabfest” as a result of which several suggestions were made for im- provement of the system. Mr, Ken- ney was in favor of establishing the Jjob on a contract or piece work basis, giving men who cover the greatest amount of territory the most money. Commissioner DI Nonno told of sev- eral sections which apparently have been neglected, Commissioner John Ohlson felt the men have a hard and dangerous job and much latitude in their duties should be given them. Commissioner P, C. MclIntyre told the board that the department stenog- rapher, Miss Florence Caufield, is to leave their employ for a more lucra- tive position. He discussed the advis- ability of increasing her salary. The board took no action pending a peti- tion. City Engineer Willlams reported that the state highway commission has acknowledged the city's letter asking for repairs on the highway to Flainville west of the city line.
