"A uiCht,soil cart passed down Main
street al eleven o'clock last night In the
nsighborhood Of this office, the stencil
from which raised the roofs OF the houses
as II went along, and, entering every win
dow within two squares, poisoned the
sleeping inmates. We were informed by
tho Health officer some weeks ago that
this business was to be attended to before
the hot weather arrived, and that none
but closely covered carts would be allow.
to pass through the streets. 1t has been
the practice in this city for several years
to neglect this scSvenger business till the
heated term set In, and then prosecute 1t
with great vigor just when this did more
harm than TO let it alone. We had
been led to hope that q different course
was to be pursued this season. II 1t Is

Among the larger iteme which contrib.
ute to increase the cost Of construction, l
will mention the building Of retaining
wall in the rear Of Mr.. Jones residence,
on section 1, which was one Of the condi-
tions Of right Of way settlement; the
building of a large amount Of heavy re.
tanning wall at Wells Run, on section 2,
made necessary by the insuttlciency OF
right Of way at that point, and the partial
obstruction Of the county road by the
railroad embankment; the construction
Of two stone abutments for an under grade
road Guessing upon the Burgoyne farm,
on section s, also agreed upon In settle
ment Of right of way; the loss Of large
quantities OF embanEment at the mouth
Of Gross Creek, on section Q, by rise In
the creek and floods In the Ohio River;
the construction Of under.grade passage
WAYS with stone abutments for Bethany
Pike, and for private road crossings west

tbs very expensive establishment OF

~ retaining walls at Ghost Run, on sec.
ton 10, to sustain the lower slope OF en-
bsnkment; extra payments to property
owners on section %, In order TO avoid
interference with their property and OBJ
struction Of the county road; repeated
slides In the embankment near Top Mil,
on section 90; the washing out Of emb9nk.
mept at Jefferson street, Wheeling, and
consequent necessity Of sewering at that
point; the frequent changes in the public
roads along the line and the expensive
maintenance Of the same during the win

ditions to the work In consequence Of the
numerous alides during the unusually Sc
we're weather oil the past season.
While It 10 true the condition Of affairs
is somewhat embarrassing, It must also
be admitted that under all the circum-
stances, the construction Of your road
has been conducted AS economically 40
possible. The work is well done and es'
pecially all the masonry is Of the most
durable and substantial character.

unpaid balances, and the amount still re-
quired will make the final total cost Of
your road foot up to 1876, 738 40; an ex.
cess over the original estimated cost OF
So, 1888 42.
In explanation Of this excess, 1t Is but
proper TO call TO your mind the fact that
the work, although not let to the abso-
lutely lowest bidders, was given to parties
whose aggregate figures iell fully $S5, 600
below the proposals Of parties whose
prices corresponded more nearly to the
real value OF such work. The result has
shown that out oil the "a sections Of the
road only 8 have thus far been complet-
ed By the original contractors at their
contract prices; 6 sections are still In the
hands OF the original contractors, ad.
vances having been granted to them upon
some OF the sections. The work on the
remaining 10 sections has all been aban:
doned by the original contractors, and
had to be re.let at largely advanced rates,
Unfortunately, these abandoned sections
contain the heaviest work, and the ad-
vanced prices, applied to largo quantities,
show corresponding by large aggregates.
A statement hereto attached shows the
original contract prices on all the sections,
and in comparison exhibits also the prices
paid to tho present contractors. Besides
the actual increase Of cost by the ad'
vanced prices, the delay incident TO the
reletting oil tho work was attended by Sc.
rious losses, such as damages by floods at
unfinished portions Of the work, which
would have been secured against accident
limo interruption had occurred.
Extra allowances must now DO paid for
overhaul on nearly all the sections, the
original contractors having derived the
benefits Of short haulage at the beginning
Of the work, while their successors are
compelled to transport the remaining ma
terlal beyond the estimated limits. Extra
haulage had TO be allowed also on account
Of the contracted limits Of your right o.
way, which frequently compelled the
transportation Of borrowed materials from
greater distance than estimated.
To enumerate every single item which
constitutes an element Of the general ex-
cess Of the cost Of your road over the Or
iginal estimate IS impossible within the
limits of time allowed me for this report;
but upon careful calculation l am able
to distribute the difference as follows:
