HOW THE REBUILDING OF JEFFERSON MARKET II

To the EdftOr Of the Trfbun.
SIR You have pretty fully exposed Mr.. Thonp.
sons peculiar methods of managing the busineas
of the Department Of Pubc Works, but it seems
to me You have hardly done him Justice In one mar
ticular that is his especial ability for retardng and
delaying the progress OF the various works begun
from time to time in his department
You have already shown that more time has been
spent on the contract for bringing the water from
the Bronx and Byron rivers than was considered
necessary for its completion, and the work is but
little more than half completed. You might also
have referred TO the rebuilding Of Jefferson Mar.
