ATURDAY DECEMBER 15, A SCRAP OF GRADING HISTORY Some Pecullar Circumstances in the Matter of a Contract. A FEW REFLECTIONS THEREON. The Bancroft School Grounds and Their Improvement—Discrepan- cies of a Pair of Bids -How It Looks to Some People. A _Quostionable Deal. i Therc are tnnum T Tumors afloat con corning malfeasance in office of certain mem bers of the board of education, and in many instances the statements of crookedness are made openly. The latest matter that has been brought to light, and was traced out by a roporter for The Bee with the following result, was that in which the matter of prading Ninth streetand the Bancroft school site was effected The school board, about one year ago, de- cided to locate a school building in the vi cinity of Bancroft and Ninth streets. Ac- cordingly realty owuners were invited to notify the board in case they possessed prop orty sufficient for a school site. Mark Han- sen is the owner of a large tract of property in the vieinity of Ninth and Baucroft streots, and he was among those from that section that reported to the board. A committeo from the latter body visited the place, und the Hansen site was reported favorably, and was suvsequently purchased by the board forthe sum of $,000, The picce of land sold was three-quarters of tax lot 5, Red- fleld's sub-divison. It comprised an’ area of 108 feet abutting on Ninth st and 133 fect deep. It came to tho car of Mr. Hansen that a certain member of the board, who was and is now in the real estate business, was expecting a commission on the sale,and when Morris Morrison came around to Hansen's place, which is in the immediate locality of the Bancroft school, a short time afterward, and asked the latter if he had got his money, Hansen replied that he had, and proposed to handle the receipts himself, Bu rincipal feature of the statements conne ta the Bancroft school deal, which savor of crooked work, is embodied in the letting of the contract for grading the school site and Nincteenth street, roft 900 feet southward, The spuce which the building stands was graded about five feot at 1% cents per cubic yar This takes in a space 85x60 feo Mr. ‘Han sen, owning the adjoining property, let the coutract for the grading of the same to Paul- sen & Sorcnson at 10 cents cubie yard. After the Dbuilding con- structed the board discov that the excavation ‘‘required drainage,” and in consequence decided to lower the remain- ing portion of the lot, and not only this, but to_endeavor to enlarge the scheme by ob- taining privilege to grade Ninth street the vrequired distance also. Before making Any movement in this divection, the consent of ‘the city council was obtained in the pass- age, August 7, 1888, of the following resolu- tion introduced by I S. Hascall: Resolved, That the board. of education bo authorized to do the necessary grading on Ninth strect in the vicinity of the public school building, that may be necessary drain the school lot, said graaing to be done atthe expense of the board of education, under the direction of the city engineer. In the meantime Mr. Hansen informed Morris Morrison and other members of the board that, in case the board decided to have the work done, Paulsen & Sorsenson would do it for not over 12 cents per cubie yard, and, per- Laps, for less. He also informed Messi Paulsen & Sorcuson that the matter of grading the points in question was being considered by the school board, and that if they desired to obtain the work they had betier consult with Morrison and other members of the board. On gaining this information the aforesaid con- tractors went to Morrison and announced that they were doing sin work for Hausen, and that they for the' school bos ard. Morris Morrisou, who is a purported personal friend of Mr. Baulsen, replied that he was sorry, but that Mr. Stuht had to have it, and that ‘the contract had alre dy been awarded him. Knowing to the ntrary, aulsen stated to Morrison that the contract rded to Stubt or anybody se, and that he (Morrison) was wilfully making a misstatement. The matter dropped at this point between Paulsen & Sorenson on one side and Morrison on the other. This conversation between Morrison and the above contractors took place in the latt part of August, and about two weeks aftor. , September 8, the contract was awarded to Ernest Stuht for the sum of 23 cents per cubic yard, or 11 cents more per yard than that for which Paulsen & Sorenson agreed 1o do the same work, The number of cubic yards thus removed, as recorded by the s of the board of education, were The following is a comparison of the excess amount paid out for the work, showing the difference in the price, from a total standpoint, in the bid for which' Paul- sen & Sorenson agreed to do the work, and that paid Contractor Stuht. yards@2icents 10,624 yards at 13 cents, T cubic cess amount paid, , £1,105.04 Tt will be seen by th the scliool board deliberately paid out nearly double the amount of tho tixpayers' money thut was actually required in tiis transaction. Another question which was brought up at the time, and w aroused the suspicions the school : bour strect south of , was the grading of Ninth ancroft, in connection with the grading of the school site, The r visited the office of the city engineer the Ninth street improvement. When questioned concerning the matter, the city engineer admitted that no grade had been established at that pownt, but stated that he had given Engincer House, school board, instructions how to ope Not- withstanding that the resolution passed by tho city council specified that the work should bo executed under tho supervision of the city engineer, the latter admitted that he bad not as yet even visited the scene, Aside from this, in instances where no special tax is levied, the school board is em- powered to award the contract for grading without publicly advertising for bids for the same, at least this is the way in which a certain legal fluminary construes the law, By the individuals whoso suspicions have been aroused in the Bancroft school deal, it is thought that the school board, and es pocially Morris Morrison, took the advant age of this vrivilege. Frank Hausen, who owns real estate in that vieinity to the extent of about £100,000, and who alleges that certain members of the bourd have perpetrated a fraud in the let- ting bf the contractjto Stuht, when ques- tioned by s reporter, said: will refrain from placing myself on record in preferring open charges of fraud against Morrison, Kelley and other members theboard, but I will state that there is strong evidence of fraud in the lotting of the rading contract to Stuht, In the fst place I told Morrison that T had nmen doing work for me—grading my property adjoining on Ninth streot, that would do the ]on atnot to cxcoed twelve cents per yard, and I thought perbup: thun that. ‘Ihe men I referred to al & Sorenson. They were downg grading for ine at that time, and'that place, for ten cents ver cubic ya Morrison said nothing, and [ subscquentiy informed the contgactors of project, and teld them that they lad bt seo \lflrnll‘r hs ald they would, and llm d they had seen Morr) “1o_do the work for tvelve conts yard, bus that Morriscn informed them that the job would have to be given to Stuht, aud that bs Lad alveady been awarded the cou tract. 1 kucw this was wroug, biub at th the uintter diopped. Now in grad v not ¢nly took up the sehool grou raded Ninth street south of Ban (Dl point 900 [ south of the junell thess two sircets. You sce by doiug this Stubt was given about seven (lou- sand yards oxtra in the desl. Thera was no ueed of gradiog oither the lot OF strest at the pre 5 haps (or years to . upon which the building Is loce been supplied with an urderground draiuags Bt & cosl not te exceed §150, Now ageiu, n!c o of Ninth strect Lus not as yeb beenh es tablished at this point,apd I question the right of the school board to let & contract 10 re move one single yard under such corditicns, But tas is not all. Rewmember that Itold Morrison that the men that were doing my work would do the work for the board at not to exceed 13 conts per yard. At this umo they were doing my work for 10 cents, and were hauling and depositing the soil too, and at a point 400 farther a than the place where Stuht deposited the earth he re- moved. Had Paulsen £ son known this, they would have undo: done t work at a price aven less th ard. But this was kept quiet 1 although Mor the work could done 12 cents yard, he and were instrumental in obtaining the for Stuht at 23 cents per cu rd m for 4 Kelley contract or a Paulsen is not double the 1to do th as I gave th Morrisor excuse to the penditure of ove taxpayer that [ c of fraud this again, on _account been established ¢ destined 10 be made defendant in numerous damage suits resulting therefrom. 1 do not consider that 1 have been damaged, as one portjpn of my p ty lics where u cut is mad®, while ‘the otlier is where the property quires filling, and consequentiy it is just a transfer of soil. But with my neighbor, Au gust Davis, who owns two and_one-fourth lots in the section to be filled, damage re. sults, and he has alrcady entered suit rainst the city for §3,000 on " th liristopherson, and_numerous othe; have informed me that they will enter su for damages at an early’ date. All this arises from the fact that the school board as body has been misled by certain of its me D 1 do not wish to pe understood as poscd to the work done, but L do say that the cir tances, in a wiy bear strong evidence of fraud.” i The reporter then visited Nels Pauls who is of the firm of Paulsen & Sorenson, and who went personally to Morris Morrison and offered to do the work at 12 cents per cubic yard, two weeks before the contract was let to Stulit at 25 cents ard. M. Paulsen stated as follows: W figure- ing on a job for Hansen, and agreed to do his grading for 10 ceats per yard. He told us of the ntion of theschool board in_the matter of grading Ninth street, and the Ban- croft school grounds, and stated that we had better see Morris Morrison in view of getting the job. I went to e Morrison, but he was not at home, 1 went the followi Wy and I met him and informed him that we would do the work cheaper than any other, and told him finally that we would do it_for 12 cents per cubic yard. My pa Sorenson, was with me ut the time and me make tho remark. Morrison told me that he was sorry, but that Stuht must have the job, and also stated that he had already been given the contract. [ tokd him that | knew differ- ent; that the contract had not been awarded. He refused, howeve ¢ our bid, and we left him. The contract was awarded to Stuht, so 1 afterwards found out, cents per yard,but this was about twc aw Morrison. 1 will take my m speaking the truth.” Paulsen has not a very good command lish language, but 18 willing to take the witness stand and testify under oath that what he says is true, will call upon Mr. Sorenson, Wwho be found yesterday, to bear him out, AS 1 atements of damage suits likely to follow for the reason of the chango of grade, the reporter, upon personally visit- ing the scene, found the reports to betrue, The cut made at the point_of commencement on Ninth street is_about five feet, and at the termination southward the st is raised above the property about fifteen fect, pro- vided the grade is carried out. This, to- gether with the manner in which the contract was let and the work exceuted, has prompted parties in courting an investigation. As rogards the letting of thie contract, the records of the school board bear an indeutu showing that the award made to Stuht, September 3, at 23 cents per yard. There no evidence that the board invited competi- tion of any kind in the letting of the coatract. want the trans; of grading v grade having h stroct, the city nd_cit isider in zen that could not A Talk With Mr. Stuht. A reporter for Tue: Bre called on Contrac- tor Stuht and questioned Mmmm erning the matter. He stated that he had paid no money to any members of the school board as a bonus for any contract that had been awarded him by the board. He stated that he was working out on Chicago strect when a committee of the board, to the best of his knowledge consisting of Morrison, Spauld- ing, Kelley, Coburn and Sholes, came to him and asked him what he would do the work for, He gave them figures equaling 23 cents per cubic yard. They accepted his terms. He, upon instructions by the con mittee, at once quit work on Chicago - strect and centralized his forces on Ninth strect— the street graded under the foregoing pecul- iarities. Ho removed over ten thousand cubic yards on Niuth strect at this price, The grading of the remaining portion of the school site was then let to him, he states, at 18 cents per yard, but that he has given the soil, which ‘he disposcd of at 4 cents per cuble yard, which made the school Frading price paid him 22 cents per yard. He statec that he was of the opinion 'that the school board acted with all due fairness to all par- ties concerned. Wlon asked concerning the time the contract was lot, he said that he was not sure, but that it was let to him be- fore Paulsen' & Co. applied for it. Prior to making the last statement he stated that he was not aware of Paulsen & Co. tryihg to get tho job until so informed by the' reporte "This goes to show that Mr. Stuht did not, te all he knew about the wovk and the manner in which it was brought about. He stated that he had competition for work ontside of Paulsen & Co., but when asked who the other competitors were he could not state, He was also unpi 1to stato whetler or not the board solicited competition, The longest pole knocks the persim- mons, and Bigelaw’s Positive Cure knocks all conghs, colds, croup, hoarse- ness, bronehitis, asthma, influenza and consumption.
