PAGE TWO Wood River Sewer Bids Exceed Fund Today SJMUVa MIMAMI Lowest Proposal Runs Over Estimate and Levy That Is Spread Provides No Costs Continued from Appeal to PWA for More Grant Appears Best Alternative WOOD RIVER, June even the lowest bid submitted on the Wood River trunk and relief sewer Improvement placed the probable final above any figure which could be financed by immediately available resources, the board of local Improvements after opening the Thursday began casting about for methods of meeting the situation. With but $435,000 spread on the special afwessrnent roll for the project to meet all costs connected with it, the board found the lowest bid of any submitted by three contractors to be of R. B. Higglns Son of St. Louis, While the assessment roll represents all the funds immediately available, the Higglns it Son bid represented merely the expenditure necessary for actual construction.

Further than that, engineering, legal, court, and miscellaneous costs must be met. Defer Disposition Even a suggestion that the city might obtain an addition of $20,000 to its 1110,000 grant from the Public Works Administration by England have had all the fighting they want, for the present. Mussolini will do as hs pleases in Abyssinl. England will talk, not act. And with all sympathy for Abyssinia and the rights of uw Emperor who is afraid "I might be dethroned if I submitted to Italian domination," it must be said that'the world's civilization would be improved if the Italians moved In.

Mussolini might at least give them regular work at living wages. In any case, it is not for us to preach to Mussolini. When Mav- royenl Bey, Turkish ambassador at Washington, heard Americans criticizing the Turks for exterminating Armenians, he asked, blandly: "Where are your Indians? I see no Indians." The decided drop in river stages hloh begin Wednesday will result the beginning of real activity on both the lock and dam projects in ton harbor. Since March 13, work IM been interrupted on the locks because of high river stages, and since May 11 all work has been suspended due making the grant 30 percent of the total cost of construction Instead of basing it on material and labor cost would fall to produce sufficient money for the project, it was concluded by the board.

The board's only recorded action, aside from opening of the bids, yesterday, was to defer official disposition of the proposals until Monday afternoon, when it will meet again at 4 o'clock. Further than that, however, two courses which might lead to comparatively quick results were suggested by Corporation Counsellor F. M. Manning, who is legal counsel for board of local improvements. Readvertlslng for bids in the hope that contractors might "sharpen their pencils" more and bring their proposals within the city's reach was one alternative.

This assurance was given the board by W. M.

Wallace, observer for the state PWA engineer's office, who was present at the bid opening. Wallace recalled that at least 75 percent of applications for loane made under such circumstances had been approved in the past, and expressed extreme optimism as to the city's chance of obtaining bene- The city had Intended to finance the sewer through sale of six percent interest bearing bonds to private purchasers. If the bonds were purchased by the PWA, Wallace pointed out, the interest burden would be but four percent, for an annual saving estimated at 16000. Bond Market Factor Answering a query of Mayor Hamilton, he said that supervision costs on projects financed through combined PWA loans and grants should be no higher than for those financed by grants, alone. NO stricter supervision was Involved, he said.

Questioned after the session Corporation Counsellor Manning expressed the opinion, too, that the contractors' high bids undoubtedly reflected the condition of the bond market, if contractors were not required to ta Ice a discount on the bonds to convert them into cash, but received cash from bonds would bo lower! Manning believes. Yesterday's low bid was for electrical instead of dlesel power in the pump house connected with the sewer system. On the other hand, X.

Half a hundred workers, who re urned to their jobs when operators began reopening after a strike called by the International Union May 9 seeking recognition and better working conditions, were reported congregated at a house near the Kansas-Missouri state line, armed and ready to battle the strikers. Several workers were badly beaten with rocks, cars were overturned and wrecked and shots were fired at cars which refused to stop. The strikers were strung out in groups for about two miles on the three principal highways leading from Joplin, into Kansas, The outbreak was believed to have been Incited by the announced in- tonUon to open the Galena, smelter of the Eagle Picher Lead Company today.

It Is anticipated that this stage will be reached by this week-end. Ir. the event the forecast proves unwaterlng will be started Monday, in all probability. Work required to complete this first and main lock of the twin locks under construction can be accomplished in a mouth's time. This estimate is based upon utilization of 24-hour work days.

Farts of the construction yet to be completed Include finishing of the erection of the downstream lock gates, setting and testing of four valves in the lock culverts, and Installation of operating machinery; also, there remains 18,000 cubic yards of concrete to be poured. After these phases of the project are accomplished, a general painting and cleaning up will bring the work to the point where the first cofferdam can be "pulled." Need for Speed.

After the long delays which have seen experienced, it seems certain that the locks contractor will exact every effort to "get out" of the first cofferdam and "into" the second.

There are additional reasons for speeding up the work from now on. The construction of the second cofferdam and the building of the auxiliary look will require from five to six months' time, A month's work remains to be done in the first Thli means work will run Into a aeoond'winUjr reason unless construction, wprk Is pushed the limit. High water is not improbable in October and a flooding at that time would delay progress 'definitely, resulting in winter work. The anticipated by the dam contractor will be another reason for speed on the locks. While the locks contractor is finishing work in hJb present cofferdam the first cofferdam for the dam will be pushed out from the Missouri shore.

This will narrow the present river width by nearly 700 feet. The second cofferdam for the locks will be constructed in this narrowed river. Half of Base Filled. Although river stages have handicapped the contractor for the dam, Engineering Construction they have been helpful in some ways. By the end of this month about 80,000 cubic yarda will have been filled on the Missouri shore.

This fill represents one-halt of the entire base of operations being made. The office building now in the course of construction, will be furnished by that time, the ground cleared and everything in readiness for the commencement of building operations. Preparatory pile clusters and guides for the cofferdam are now being driven. The necessary surveying has been completed, and the plant assembled and mobilized at the site. This first cofferdam for the dam will be 1800 feet long, measured around its center line, and will enclose an area of six acres.

The drop in stage was only half that for the previous 24 hour period, and a rise which has been coming down the Mississippi Is believed responsible for the slackening in the rate of fall noted here. The Mississippi still is rising slightly at Keokuk and Davenport. The Illinois also has been rising and an Increase of one-tenth in the stage was reported at Beardstown, where today's reading was 15.6 feet.

While this measure guaranteeing labor's right to bargain collectively lay on President Roosevelt's desk, awaiting his signature, a new crisis developed in contract negotiations between the United Mine Workers and soft coal operators of the Appalachian field. The miners are seeking a 30-hour week and a 10 per cent increase in pay. The operators want them to continue working 35 hours a week at present wage rates. A walkout scheduled for June 17 was delayed at the President's request to give Congress time to pass the Ouffey- Snyder coal stabilization bill. But present extension of 1034-38 contracts will expire Sunday at midnight and Ouffey-Bnyder bill has not been passed.

A committee representing both the United Mine Workers and the operators was charged with reporting to the Appalachian Joint wage conference at 3 p. today. It had reached no Agreement last night.

Eokhard's petition alleges fraud and asks the election be re-called. Continuance of the hearing until Saturday was granted by Judge Trares. Tomorrow attorneys for both Van Preter and Eokhard are scheduled to make their closing arguments. VanPreter denied knowing any of the four non-residents of Woman Cheeked Brief Case Dickinson's body, pierced by two bullets, was found early yesterday, dumped beside a driveway in Rouge Park.

Police, Jn the absence of definite clues, cling to the theory that the New York lawyer was the victim of a "ride" and was killed for the large sum of money he is believed' to have been carrying. Police would not say why the automobile was sought or'What possible part it played in the investigation. It was learned, however, that police aid in Michigan, Ohio and New York had been sought in locating the vehicle. Dr. Robert Kallman, Wayne county medical examiner, said he believed Dickinson was killed by a person, or persons, who took extreme precautions to make sure Dickinson died instantly.

The attorney's suit coat, his hotel key in the pocket, was found on the outskirts of the city two miles from Rouge Park. There was a hole in the left shoulder and officers said they believe it was made by one of two bullets which caused death. The other struck Dickinson in the head, precipitating a hemorrhage which was the cause of death. Chief of Detectives Fred W. Frahm' admitted officers are seek- big a woman who left Dickinson's brief case in the checkroom of Dickinson's hotel, IB hours after the discovery of the body.

Street Foreman William Watson Is to have charge of the catchbasin cleaning project, one in which City Council members have been much Interested. Sanitation Inspector Miller is to supervise the sidewalks work, and City Engineer Pitchford will have charge of the other two projects. Among the work-relief projects on the Alton program which City Engineer Pitchford expects to be next in line for orders starting actual work are those for development of Henry street park, and for construction of the Smith drive, recently dedicated to the city, from College avenue at the main entrance of Rock Spring park southward to Brown street, Just west of the bridge over Shields branch. Luer Extends Scope In connection with the Smith drive project, Engineer Pitchford announced today the successful broadening of plans to carry the street opening on southward from Brown street through the Carl Luer tract to a junction with East Drive, near Park Drive. Opening of this projected drive will provide a thoroughfare all the way through Shields Valley so that traffic may move between Broad- wa.

and College. It will provide a new direct route between Central and Washington avenue which has been a definite civic goal for 30 years past. The Smith drive has been made possible primarily by a gift of the roadway site by Miss Eunice M. Smith.

The roadway plan was provided for by Mr. Luer when he had his tract graded ready for subdivision several years ago, and his action now is to 'bring the roadway into effect. Yesterday, Pitchford said, the city transmitted a second work relief project oh the Shields valley program to the IERO.

The project for making Smith drive already has been approved, and, with approval of the second project, which provides for work in the Luer tract drive, the complete street opening program will be definitely' assured. Estimated cost of constructing Smith drive is approximately $55,000 and calls for employment of a large crew of workers.
