The small sum of $9.7$, the cost of j laying a cubic yard of concrete, was tho j principal matter discussed by the inein-i inein-i hers of the Board of Public Works yos-i yos-i ' terday at their meeting. The concrete 1 appears to have been put down in Commercial Com-mercial street some time last fall by P. ' J. Moran, when he resurfaced that 1 street. Earlier in the year the city j had refilled a trench made in the street , by the Bell Telephone company, and placed concrete over the same. When , .Mr. Moran's crew were resurfacing the street they found a small portion of the ' concrcto damaged, and put In a new i foundation for the asphalt covering. The Bell Telephone company paid for both Jobs to the city and Moran received re-ceived his. pay. The question before the board -was whether or not a refund should be made to the telephone people. Neither Mr. Kelsey. Mr. Moran nor the city Inspectors could definitely state 1 -whether the concrete was ever put In. Mr. Clawson said Mr. Moran bad received re-ceived payment for the work, and that i the estimate for the same hatl never J I been approved by the Mayor or City , Auditor. Mr. Kelsey finally moved that a recommendation be made to the i City Council to make a refund of $9 7S I to the Bell company. The motion car- I ried, Chairman Clawson being the only j I member voting against it. |
