On Jobs S. F. Perry, sidewalk contractor, urged the City Council Monday to refrain from building walks on which property owners were delinquent. Contractors are paid for this work with vouchers, and they are hard to handle, Mr. Perry said.

He wanted to know, Monday, if there was not some other way by which the city could pay for the work, and was informed by Corporation Counsel W. J. Carey, that the law specifies only that method. Banks won't take the vouchers, Mr. Perry said, and the contractor has to carry, them for five years.

For that reason, bids for the sidewalks have to be much higher than under situations where the property owners promptly build the walks and pay for them. No action was taken on his suggestion.

The re-enforcing steel rods have been placed in the bottom of the excavation. Before the civilizing influences of mankind tampered with the site of the Wabash it was a pond or at the edge of a pond, according to old timers who can remember when. TVi Tmnfl Vinfl Vision in on1 long vised, as a storage yard before any one thought of erecting buildings there. Probably the sub-surface structure -was such that even though the surface had been brought to a new grade the natural drainage had not been disturbed and there remained a tendency for sub-surface drainage toward the pond.

In any event after easy dry digging for a few feet below the surface, the excavators encountered gobby. soft clay and a constant seeping of water into the hole they made. That clay stuck to everything touched. A clam shell was used in excavating. Every time the jaws of the clam shell were opened the load did not of its own weight drop into the waiting truck.

It was necessary to maul the shell with a heavy hammer or steel bar to jar loose the sticky mess and often now a thing or the past so tar as tne "ow a pi big drop pit is concerned.
