OLD FIGHT OVER AGAIN the committee on waterworks water works reported in the matter of soliciting bids for the purchase of water pipe and submitted the follow iniz hida howard harrlson harrison iron company a 8 i 85 per ton george M scotta scott oo co 81 84 76 15 per ton dennis long ft oo co 86 00 per ton rhodes bros 85 0 e r ton all based on OB delivery on cars at salt t lake cil oily for the following amount of pipe tons of 8 inch cast pipe 50 tons of 6 inch cast iron pipe bids were solicited fro vi four other pipe concerns but they declined deol loed to make a proposal the committee recommended th that t the pipe be purchased from rhodes bros as they were the lowest bidders hardy 1 I move that hat the matter be referred to the mayor moran the mayor told me personally that he would have absolutely nothing to do with the matter hardy 1 I think that matter should 90 0 o to the mayor with the committee associated with power to sot act 1 I think that mr hardy should appreciate our situation there to is no use at all to make such reference as the committee and the mayor cannot and will not agree when they come together there is always friction moran there is one thing that always puzzles me when I 1 come into this council chamber to meeting and it is this any committee excepting epting xo toe committee on water works can do as it pleases apparently but lot let the waterworks water works committee ommittee do a single thing and the mayor will find fault we see that other committees committee can advertise for buildings even when are involved in the transaction all right something is 18 wrong and you should all ali understand it lawson there to is no mistake as to the mayor being opposed to the work of the committee bell I 1 know that there to is no use to consult with the mayor and therefore I 1 am now prepared to stand by the committee in its conclusions the pipe is and badly too rich several days ago the committee on waterworks water works to whom power was given to secure bids for the purchase of this pipe met in this council chamber to open the bids but the recollection of the old fight came vividly before us then in order to be on the safe side we waited for nearly two hours before opening the bids in order that that work could be done in the presence of the mayor but that official declared that he would have nothing to do with the matter and informed the committee that it if they persisted in carrying the work on he would veto the matter se soon awn as it reached his bands as he wanted us ua to understand that we were infringing on his rights this being the case we should bear in mind that it is useless for us to do anything unless we have ten votes to carry it over the mayor mayors mayora a veto hardys hardy Is
