RIVERSIDE DRIVE.

ENGEEEE FRXEKILNs INDIGNANT REPLY TO
TIE CHARGES or PARK COMMISSIONERS LANE
Mr.. Thomas Franklin the experimenting engineer
Of Riverside avenue, met yesterday by HERALD
reporter. He was highly indignant at the implied
charges OF fraud against him in Park Commissioner
Lanes published letter Comptroller Kelly There
is absolutely not atom Of foundation for them."
he said 1T is gross outrage and will be righted
without doubt in the very future. The follow
ing conversation ensued:--
Has any portion Of the pavement of the Riverside
Drive been completedY'
None has been completed, because il requires
eral rollings before it can be actually declared
finished. but considerable work. than the
casual observer would imagine, has been performed
upon it,"
"How is it that you have made return OF 1900
square yards if the work is not finished p
This il only approximate estimate Of the value
Of the work actually performed. Other work which
is not completed is estimated and know of no rea-
son why TINS should not be. The pavement has been
partially finished 10 the extent of about 900 square
yards. which the contractor has only received
about 2,s00 IL is customary for engineers TO esti
for pavement partly done the work progresses.
OF course it docs not affect the final amount OF work
70 be paidior."
Mr. Lane in his letter, quotes his last refusal to
audit the claim OF Messrs. Decker Quntard in the
following words:-I refuse to audit the foregoing
estimate Of Messrs Decker Quintard for sl5 i25 %
for the that my personal examination OF the
work satisfies me that the work has not been per-
formed in accordance with the contract and that the
certificate OF the engineer. franklin that IL has been
performed is incorrect What have you TO ray in
reply to that charger
I'm reply 70 that have 10 say that examined
the WORK carefully and know that 1t was properly
done and certified accordingly. Mr.. Lane not being
engineer OF course cannot be competent judge
Of engineering work. The work itself will stand the
test OF examination by any competent engineer. aud
perfectly willing to have IL subjectop to that
test. invite and desire the fullest investigation into
everything connected with the Riverside improve
ineut nee have taken charge"
what have you to say in regard 70 the parapet
wall ~
1T is really much better piece OF work than was
at first intended Ii has been raised foot higher
making Il much safer tor persons using the avenue
either driving walking besides giving it finer
appearance. Ar originally designed considered the
wall very unsafe"
"Be charges thar you certified to claims for work
the Drive which was improperly done"
~ deny TIE charge emphatcaly; the pavement
hss been properly laid in accordance with the contract
and Mr.. Lane mistaken in his statement His
probably arises from his ignorance Of engineering
vp~
