War econ- omy would dictate something less costly at this time and the board of public works will do well, from any standpoint, to observe this. Tomorrow the question comes’ up on bids for monolithic brick paving of Rainier ave., between Bar- ton st. and 57th ave. S. The mayor had vetoed this improvement because he believed it could be post- poned till after the war. The council disagreed with him and passed it over his veto. Assuming the im- provement is necessary and must be begun at once, it is NOT necessary to spend many thousands of dol- lars extra for monolithic brick. A little more than a year ago this question was aired by the county. Brick or concrete was the ques- tion. We had just entered the war—but already keen-sighted citizens like Laurence Colman, John P. Hartman and others saw the absolute need for war conservation, and they headed a large delegation to urge concrete paving. The result was that, according to one of the commissioners, nearly a half million dol- lars was saved in the original cost of paving by using concrete instead of brick. It would be well if these gentlemen headed another delegation to urge the same need of conservation upon the board of public works tomorrow. The city should set the conservation example by practice It has a chance to save thousands on the Rainier ave. paving. IT MUST NOT FAIL TO MAKE GOOD.
