The chamber of commerce has now taken upon the matter of speeding up the action upon the work. , The first meeting of the committee from the chamber, was held last night and effected an organization. J. A. Howell is chairman of the committee. The other members are: W. J. Parker, A. M. Hammon, John A. Hendricks, Arthur Grantham, L. J. Holther and R. L. Olsen. Twenty-inc- h steel pipe will be used for the extension of the waterworks system on Fillmore avenue, according to the decision of the city commission at their meeting Wednesday. At the time of making the decision in the matter of the pipe the board awarded the contract for thp work to Wheelwright Construction company, whose bid was $15,900.37. The pipe to be used will be supplied by an Ogden firm. The steel pipe is called the Matthe-so- n joint steel pipe. The bid of the Wheelwright company was for the construction work as well as the pipe. The lowest bid for cast iron pipe and construction was $17,377.87. The work upon the extension will start within ten days and will be completed in 60 days. The fact that a great amount of the steel pipe is now in use in the city has proven satisfactory over a period of 35 years, caused Commissioner Harmon W. Peery to make a motion that the contract for steel The vote of the pipe be accepted. commission was unanimous for steel The cost of the armory was given at $75,000, but the legislature only appropriated $25,000. It is expected that the balance of $50,000 can be borrowed so that the construction work can be made this year. The first Door of the armory will contain an auditorium with a seating capacity of 1,000 persons. When Governor George Dern signed the bill he expressed the hope that the auditorium would be maintainec as a civic center for conventions and similar gatherings. pipe. |
