RE MING OF STREETS To the Editor of Wingbam Advance Dear Sir:- I I May I have the space and ask your time to publish the following letter, Per- sonally I have no axes to gkind and am free to air my views, Leaving it to the rest of the Ratepayers to form their' opinion after teading letter, Year after year we elect men to carry on the bus- iness of the town in general. We expect, those men to do by the ratepayers a's if It were their own business. If those men who are electtd consider it an honor, why do they not do the business in a -straight forward way? I refer to the present street paving. We are all aware when the tenders for the paving of John St Eait, and Josephine were called for, the Con tract was let in a legitimate way. But that is far enough, when the petitions for Alfred, Jc-hn, West, and Diagonal street were presented to trie council to act upon, why out of all fairness to the petitioners and ratepayers in general did the council not call for tenders an this work, so that their actions would be above board. In- stead they get an estimate from the En- gineer in charge of the work, present it to the Contractor doing the work, say to him, will you do the work for this amount, gladly he says, 'sure I will,'glad- ly he,should when the estimate is in ex- cesia by some seven cents per square yard. And as a mark of sincerity he agrees (or at least I read through the local press) that should the price of material and other expenditure drop, the town should reap the benefit. If such is the case why in the name of common sense did our council allow the advance in price when as a matter of fact the price of material and etc, has declined. Did the council know what they %ere doing? :Only last year the council by resolution made a law not to be broken, that all work of a public nature must be tendered for, no matter if it was only for a trench across one 'Street. Of course the actions of last years' council has nothing to do with this which reminds me.that nixt years' council can'6do what ha's bben done as far as the awarding of the last contracts which are begun but not finished. Further, what is all the rush to pave our streets in one year. I even bear it rumor- ed that if some of the council are elected next year they will pave the whole of the town. Go slow boyel The council was strongly advised by Provincial authority to wait for a year or two till it become possible to pave at a more reasonable figure. Instead of taking heed to the ad- vice, our town fathers go headlong into the cement regardless of cost conditions, or weather. I am prepared to back up what I say, and that is when the first paving was let this year on John St. East, that the same work could have been done 10 per cent less when John, West, was started and that from all advices by June or July next year there will be anotherdropof 10per cent. Then why in the face of this did the council advance the price. Goes to show you that tenders should have been called for, More, do not be afraid of the Contrac- tor running away to some other place and leaving you helpless because some other town wanted him to winter there. Oh Fish, Great Bluff! I give him credit. Even if they are we are told, one of the largest contracting firms in Canada. What about the other dozen or so who submitted tenders in the first place, not me, not by any means, but the follows who follow the business, easily a score within 150 miles of Wingham? Then tj conclude, why all concrete paving? is it the only pavement? is it the best as far as durability i& concerned, I have in my possession Mr, Editor, a letter from one of the best Engineers on the continent wherein he states decisively that concrete pavements are �provmg un- satisfactory. This letter is open for any one to read, in fact I am willing to pay for the space to publish this letter, if there is any doubt, and more I will produce an Engineer who will substantiate what I have stated before, That bituminous penetration road is the better road and is cheaper, is easier to maintain than con. crete. Don't be led away by such places as Listowel, Exeter and etc. adopting concrete, go further afield and secure facts from Engineers of wide experience and not depend on what inexperienced men and places advocate, I am not going to take up any more of your space in your paper, further than to say, in my opinion the present council has done wrong. It was up to some one to call a halt which I am trying to do. I am interested this far that if the present class of pavement goes down it affects me and therefore I have a right to air my condemnation of it at the purposed price. 0 Thanking you for your valuable space, I remain, Respectfully, T.
