Show MORAN HAS CONTRACT AS AGAINST PALMER By resolution yesterday, the city commission com-mission authorized the transfer of the contract for repair of city pavements during JP14 from Fred G. Palmer io P. J. Moran. Some time ago Palmer was given warning that, unless- he began immediately imme-diately the repair of pavements in tho business district his contract would bo terminated. lie was unable to undertake under-take the- work at, that time, and consented con-sented to a transfer of the contract to Moron. This was done, and Mo ran was instructed bw the street supervisor to begin the. work, which is now under headway. H This action was taken without nny official authority from the citv commission, com-mission, and for that reason a lengthy resolution explaining the mntter was introduced yesterday, by Richard V. Morris, commissioner of streets, and was passed unanimously. |
