Council After consld “mg tenders for street work at a special meeting. fully attended, of the City Council yesterday, the council again decid- ed to have the work done by local labor under the supervision of the. City Engineer. This is in accord with the decisio. previously taken after caning tenders, but rescinded at Tuesday night's meeting in favor of calling for further ten-. ders in view of the lateness of the season, the need of giving more. employment. and the amount of other city work to be done. l As there has been considerable public interest in this question, the_ Guardian presents a. verbatim re- port of yesterday's discussion and of the reasons given by the Coun- cillors for their respective attitudes: Coun. Turner, chairman of the Tender Committee, reported the following tenders received: On 4 inch asphaitlc concrete base with 1 in. sheet asphalt top, per square yard: City, $2.76: H. J. I Phillips, $1.87; Warren Paving Co., $2.27; Modern Paving Company, $1.81. On curbs and gutters, per lineal foot: City, 05 cents; H. J. Phillips, 80 cents; Warren Paving Company, 85 cents; Modern Paving Company, 81 cents. Totals: City, $3.71; I-I. J’. Phil- lips, $2.07; Warren Paving Cc., $3.12; Modern Paving Co., $2.62. Coun. ‘turner moved that the meeting proceed to consider the tenders immediately. The motion carried. Coun. ‘Burner: "The tender com- mittee have no report to submit for consideration." Coun. Holman: "I think the tender committee should at least have s. report." Coun. Turner: "There was no re- port submitted last time." Coun. Rattray: "To save time I would move that the City proceed with the laying of these streets.” Coun. Vanlcierstine: “I second the motion." Coun. Rattray: "If we had time I would explain my reasons, but I will take that privilege the next night of meeting. I need only say that we are doing this to help our unemployed." Mayor Kennedy: "What are the prospects of having this work com- pleted?" Coun. Rattrsy: "I don't [anything at all about that." Mayor Kennedy: "That should be considered." Coun. Reardon: "From an em- ployment standpoint we thought better to give the work to the city engineer in the first place. Now that we have quarreled over tend- ers again, I think we should con- sider the lowest tender in this case. If our local engineer requires any outside help for the work he is doing I am sure the city will provide the help necessa y. I would move an amendment to the mc~- tion. that the tender of the Modern Paving Company be accepted.” Coun. Holman: "I agree with Coun. Reardon up to a certain point. The difference in tenders between the city and the contract- ors is considerable. and we can get a great deal more paving for the 59101101? BKPended. The figures giv- 9'11 he"? f0!’ the Modern Paving Company are $2.62,» against $3.12 for the Warren Paving C0mp0ny__ quite u difference. But we have a local contractor's figure at. $2.67; H- J- P11111195. very reputable, one of our own citizens and a man who no doubt can give s. good job, 1 approve of the idea of letting the contract providing the man who Bets it can start immediately; that is. tomorrow. We ail know Mr. Phillips; he l! 5 1918c taxpayer; he is going to remain here, and he is not going to tender a job he will be ashamed of. Possibly the Modern Paving Company could do Just as good work, but they are an ‘mkmwn Wmlmny so far as we are concerned. Mr. Phillips at his 911°” "Y! 8W9 115 B. great deal more streets for the money expended than we can build ourselves: therefore I will move an amend. merit to the amendment. that the mntract be let to H. J. Phillips providing that he starts work im- mediately." . . Coun. Turner: "I would like m know u City Tender For Work On Streets “As You Were” Is Order Of The Day For City Engineer. Coun- cillors Come To What Public Hopes Will Be Final Decision. explain my position in tau matter. 11¢ has been from the first that the I W681i tenderer should get the work. I still believe that. n. m. particular case, however, I thin“ m“ with u"? W??? small difference between the Modern Paving 00m- Dlny and our local contractor the iooai man should get the prefer. ence. But in view of the fact gmg this work is for relief pump“; only, n was decided that the City should do it; and I believe thug under the existing clrcumghnc” since we hav ire d m.“ ' the material and‘ or: inpmm W 0n. the general A on u; 0D ion seems to be that the City should continue. I think that under the circumstances, therefore, we m ,, m" "is cits to do the °°""- Hemmer: "n. seoonding (mn- Rlttmn motion for the 00v 1 would suggest that suppos- Ins it costs the city a little more corn well known all over Canada > Accepts for this year, you will save it in the winter. The only object 1 have is that there should be more men employed. Perhaps Mr. Mes- servey may find his way clear to put on 150 men. The principal thing is the men. That is the ob- ject I had in voting the other way the other night, to see if we couldn't work it some way to gei more men ernployed- If Mr. Mes- servey can put more men on, l think the City will save in the long run. The Warren Paving Company are higher than the oth- er contrators, but so far as I can see they give an excellent job. The Modern Paving Company is ‘new here. Mr. Phillips is new. We don't know very much about either oi them. We have had samples of the City work and. I really believe the City should get the tender in this case.” Coun. Rattray: "What I have to say is on nearly the lines that Mr. Hcnnessey has spoken. They arc all excellent companies and I have nothing to say against any of the tenders. But I am taking it from the labour standpoint; not that we are going to save directly by the City in this work, but we are go- ing to save in the long run. We have to consider what the Domin- ion Government has voted one- third of this cost for; also why the Provincial Government has voted one-third of the cost. They have voted direct relief to the unem- ployed. I think the best thing we can do is to reach the most unem- ployabis. men-I mean men that you and I would not have on a contract. We have to reach them. I could enumerate a lot of such cases that we have on relief today, but that is not necessary. My idea is to give all the labour that we possibly can in Charlottetown. As I said, I have nothing against any of the companies tendering, though I think some of their contracts are high, and I may soy the same of the City Engineer's." Coun. MacDougallr "I think that our own men should get every- thing available and I will go down to defeat, if necessary, on an issue or this kind." Coun. Holman: "We are all of the same mind: we are here to do the City business in the best way. My idea in reopening this question the other night was to give more relief. In giving this work to any one of these eontrcators it was with the absolute understanding that they would emplo, local men. By doing so I think we would have at least 100 more men working, be- cause the City Engineer has the storm sewers and other matters whereby he could employ from 40 to 00 men for the next few weeks, while the contractor could employ another 100 men. However, I am quite willing to abide by the ma. JOrity vote. But I want to state my case clearly. Some rather nasty in- slnuations were made at the last 106991118. which didn't amount to snvthlna: but as there seems to be considerable misnpprehgngion and misunderstanding regarding the at. titude of the City Council at our last regular meeting respecting the laying oi’ new streets and the reas- °n 35 t0 Why the Council rescind- ed its former motion to have the City build the streets itself, I wish to‘ make the following statements: ‘There were three parties con- cerned to whom this work could be given, first-The City: second- The Modern Paving 00.; third_ The Warren Paving Co, “Now let us analyze the um ogi these streets sources:- "1- The 171W of Charlottetown offered to do this work at $3.06 D61‘ 90- Yd. for the paving surface and 95c per ft. for curb and gutter, from these three there were 10,000 sq. yds. of pavingl find 8.000 ft. of curb and gutter. The City's tender would cost sac,- 600.00 for the paving and $7,300 m; curb and gutter-thus the City's total charge for the work would be 098,200.00. "3. T110 M01116!!!

This figures as follows-The Modern Paving Com- party's tender for paving would amount to 816M000 and 89,600.00 for curb and gutter or a total 0f 83.50000. "8. The Wenen Paving Com- pany tendered as foiiows:-s1.95 DB!‘ sq. yd. for paving the 10,000 5Q- 768 Ind 00.85 for 8,000 ft. of curb and gutter. This figures as follows —~'l‘he Warren Paving Company's tender for paving would amount to 819500.00 and 06.80000 for curb and gutter or a total of 826,300.00. "Now let us compare these three totals-city 088,100.00; The Modern Paving Company $26,500.00; Warren Paving Company 826,800.00. Prom these figures it will be seen that the Warren Paving Company is 011,900.00 less than the bid of the on! and $20000 less than the bid of the Modern Paving Company, it i: for this reason in the interests of the city and taxpayers that we have advocated the acceptance of the lowest tender particularly when that bid is made by a con- TION a v : a Daily Vessitg?

"If the contract had been let to the contractor before or is let now at a. saving of $11,900.00 it prac- ticaliy means that the City n have 507. more streets built th our own labor for the same amo t of money that would be expen d. if the City did the work themseiqs. In making this statement I do __ wish to reflect on our City e ‘ployees in any way but it has 4- ways been a known fact that Q! Government, whether Domini Provincial or Civic doing work _ti this way always costs a great more than if done by contract; "The members of this Couqcil elected by the citizens have -only one thought and that is doing the business of the city in a business way." Coun. Turner: "I wish to poini out that in the figures submitted there, the sidewalk was not taken- into consideration. As the sidewalk was part of the old programme ti -should be included. Toke the side- walk into consideration and there would be a decided difference in the tender of the Modern P Company, which figures out-V - slderably lower than that o_.tha other company." Q Coun, Holman: "That is jusi drawing a red herring ov i-ths » trail. First of all i1», was decid g by motion to let the City build. the sidewalks. Then the street ,.and _ curb tenders were considered. Thai , ls all that we are talking abmr ,". Coun. Rattray: "Coun. Helms‘ is all of! in that statement. It; _ wants to delay this meeting“, ‘ are as ready to explain our aid: of the lsituation es he is. ButJ think We said enough the night. It is just s. matter now ‘the choice of the Council.” -1: Coun. Holman: "Well, put llih a vote." l: .12 The motion that the City d _ work was then put, and Irled unanimously. r12. " i Coun.
