LOWER SEWEB COSTS Look who's here protesting against lowering the cost of sewer construction! None other than the Associated General Contractors of America.

It has been suspected by many Valley residents that the contract price for sewers were too high. What the don't like Is an amendment to the Improvement Or dinance which I sponsored several months ago for the sole purpoge of meeting an emergency arising from the fact that contract prices sew- construction were tunning so high that we proceed with any of the projects. Specifically, the amendment authorizes use of city crews to construct sewers In the same manner as they are used to street maintenance work. We haven't received any protests from property owners against that plan, but now comes a letter from the contractors' association declaring that this plan is "admittedly more costly and inefficient than competitive construction." Under the state law regulating assessment projects, bid cannot be accepted It it calls for assessments to collect an amount more than 10 uy jaag- per cent above the city engineer's ley, wflb was sleeping in a front a project's cost.

But, of course, the contractors have figured out a sure fire solution of that problem--just like this: "Simple adjustments of engineers' estimates to correspond jwth current costs and thus qualify bids at prevailing competitive m-ices would eliminate one of the difficulties which this ordinance Is intended to overcome" What could be nicer? Contract prices have been tumbling ever since enactment of the ordinance so that it hasn't been necessary thus far to resort to use of city crews for such projects.

Ot course, construction -wort has been curtailed by government restrictions on materials, a situation which the contractors know will not continue indefinitely as indicated by this part of their protest communication to the council: "Satisfactory competitive bids on sewer construction are reaojiy available from the construction industry whicli has now nearly completed our war construction and has adequate equipment and personnel for all such projects ofierea by the CJty of Los Angeles CAX BY-PASS TCJWEL TIMM TO OPEN DIAMOND HERE Oct. 10 marks tbe openir of baseball in Van Nuys for the winter season with announcement today that Tlmm Aircraft is organizing a strong turn. 0 Heading tbe prop-am are Jack Neumefer, Bob Teagarden and Nolan Jamieson, They have arranged to play on a diamond to be laid out on Van Nuys Blvd. and Sherman Way.
