Honorable Mayor and Council,
Gentlemen;-
I submit to you herewith a financial statement,compiled
from the Clerk's records,on the Storm and Sanitary sewer job,for
which bonds for $300,000 were issued May 1922 and work completed
November 1923.
I have attempted to show every charge which entered
into this work and the incidental work connected therewith, which
might be considered a charge against the original construction of
the work.
This does not mean that every charge against the Sewer
Fund from March 1922,when the Consulting Engineer made his report,
to Novemeer L923 is accounted for,as all money raised by levy for
sewer purposes is kept in this fund as well as the proceeds from
the bond sale.
I have shown the costs of the various contracts,the
cost of the Extras on these contracts,engineering costs, right
of way costs and incidentals thereto,cost of replacing paving,
cost of hauling waway surplus dirt from streets,extensions author-
ized by the Council, failures which developed in Section 3 and
storm sewer improvements.
Part of the above work was not contemplated at the
h~s
time of the letting of contracts for the main jobJbut ~ been
included to show the expenditures against the fund due to the
re-building of the sewer system. The engineering costs cover the
cost of all sewer construction during the period mentioned except
that of the sewer districts which is taken care of in another .
fund. The amount of $5000 levied in 1922 for storm sewer changes
is added into the available money and the cost of the changes
is added to the total cost of sewer work.
JAN - 2 192'!
Yours tru ,
~,
City Engineer.

Petersen presented the following letter from W.E.Buel1 & do.;
j'Hon.Mayor and Council, June 7th 1924.
Grand Island,Nebraska. Gentlemen;-
I ~~ in receipt of your letter of June 5th ,in regard toa talk
which 1 had with MesSI's.Falldorf,Petersen and Haux in Grand Is...
land on June 4th. I will give you the facts of the Case as near
as possible. I met these Gentlemen in ,the Council room~n(l sat
there talking with them about generfd construction cond.itions.
I recall that something was said in regard to what prices we wet'e
receiving on paving work. I made a statement that we received some
exceptionally. low prices at Canton,South Dakota. These prices
were as follows; $1.92 per square yard for concrete pavement,
made of one part of cement, 2 ...;.. partsrrunmlt'lmemrrlammmYTlTtrm local san~
and 4.,1:-parts crushed granite. The Council awarded a contract upon
the above 6" thick concrete pavement.We also received a. price of
$~09 per square yard for sheet asphalt pavement,90nsistingof
l~'" top, It" of binder, all on a 5" concrete base, mixed one ra rt
cement to 4t parts loca,lpit run gravel.
I cannot understand this price which received on sheet asphalt.
it is an exceptionally low price,and I know that no contractor
\!ran take this work at this price and stay in the business.
The Contractor submitting the price is a responsible .contractor,
with a good equipment ,and a good organization.Thecirdinary
price received atotherpointsha,s 'been from $2.40to$2,,'iOper
square yard on this ... tYl'e ofpa-vement, d~:pending upon the cqndUti-

that they Shotildhe,vereceived<a price of $2.09 onsheet~~,;rg1a(3l.};t
pavement~Intalkin,gwith the Members of the Counciland.Q.t.fr*ng
the conversation ,the above informationcoIllingout,might have
led them to believe that a price of $2.09 should be secured at
Grand Island.
['here was no inteptionon mypa,rt to convey any such information
to the Council ol"'.td in any way intimate that the present contradt
prices,which you are securing are any too high. I know;positively
that $2.09 is too low a price for sheet aspha.lt pavement . Ido
know that had the Council at Canton awarded a contract at this
price, that the job would have been built in exact accordance with
the specifications.
I do not think that the contractor in submitting this price had
any other intention,except to build it in exact accord with the
specifications.Sometimes a price of this kind is hard to explain
or understand. There are good,prospects of a large paving program
coming up in Canton,and it might have been that the contractor
had in mind to secure this first paving in the City , and in this
way,figure that on future work ,he would secure a better pr~ce.
However, this is only my idea and is not based upon any informa,tim
which I ha.ve received from the contractor. There is' also a very
large paving program coming up in Sioux Falls on the 16:th,and
this might have influenced the contractor.s price. The Flynn Pav-
ing Company of this city took a contract some time ago at Omaha,
on 2" asphalt1s concrete on a 511 concrete base at $2.53 per square
yard. As a general rule sheet asphalt runs from 5to 10 ,tmors
l)er square'yard tha.nasphaltic concrete.
I do not recall that I made a.ny'statement to the Council at Grand
Island , in regard to paving prices ,which were being secured,as
- any comments in regard to paving prices at Grand Islal1d~would
not be any of my business,and the prigs, which you are securing
is a matter for your engineer and City Council to decide~I will
further state, that on Monday and TUJ3sday of this week, just pr$or
to my coming to Grand Island, that I was in a Oi ty wi thin a hundred
miles of Grand Island,where the conditions were somewhat similar
.andwas talking Paving to this Council. I gave them an Estimate of
$2.60 per square yard for asphalt pavement on a 5" concrete base.
I figured thatpossi'bly this priee might be shaded a little,but
in no case,would it be more than 5 or 10 cents a square yard, and
if we secure the engineering on this job ,I would not hesita.te to
recommend to the Council . that they award a contract at ($2.60
per square yard)Jn 2:P' asphalt . pavement on. a. 5.1' conc.r. ete. . base.
If I can give you any additional information ,kindly advise.
Yours very truly, W.E .Buell and Company , by. W.E.Buell~ "
