sERPENTINE lAvENUE CUT UP.
HOW THEY DO IT.
The Mayor COllides With n Pri.
yate Contractor.

The beauties of the private contract sys-
TEN were again illustrated yesterday. On
September 1st the Board OF Supervisors
passed resolution authorizing the Mayor
TO enter into a private contract to pave and
curb Cough street, between Page and Oak.
The contract was signed aud the work COM
peted.
In putting down the curb in font Of the
MOulder School the contractor damaged the
sidewalk considerably; more, it is said than
there was need OF, and then suggested to
the city authorities that new sidewalk
should be laid. More, he acted upon his
own suggestion and laid the new walk
having first, of course, completely torn up
tho old ut a cost of considerable labor and
in the face of many protests. He then pre-
vailed upon the board to pass another res0-
luton authorizing the Mayor to contract
with him to lay that sidewalk.
Mayor Sanderson has discovered so many
tricks in the private contract system that
he suspects them all. and will not sign one
until he has personally investigated it. To
his amaZement and indignation he found
upon looking into this case that the work
had already been done, and not according TO
the specifications either
Yesterday MIR. Harney applied to the
Mayor to have the contact signed. The
Mayor refused, and did it with such en-
phaSis that the contractor completely lost
his self-compOsure. He insisted that the
Mayor was obliged to do as dire cted by the
resolution. The Mayor replied hotlY that
he was nOt-and more. he would see to 1t that
the contractor received no pay Tor his work.
This was an open declaration of war, the
Mayor accused the contractor of tricke ry
and maintained that the new sidewalk was
not needed, and even if it was, the con-
tract should have been obtained regularly
before the work was done. and the work
done according to law.
The contractor waxed exceedingly wroth
and not only swore at the Mayor but vowed
he would sue him and the city for his pay.
The bill amounts t0 S236.

The speaker was David Henderson, the
manager of the "Sinbad" " Company, who
stood before Judge Worley yesterday morn
ing in Police Court 2, pale with fright and
trembling with anxiety.
1t seems that on Saturday Henderson en-
ployed two men, named Haines and Aiken,
to carry umbrellas through the streets bear
ing upon them the legend "Sinbad," in huge
black letters. The umbrellas were yellow
and naturally attracted attention. As it is
violation Of the law the men were arrested,
and yesterday morning came up for trial.
Their plea was that neither could read and
that the umbrellas were carried to shield
their complexions from the sun. The le-
eend they had mistaken for a decoration,
such as adOrns those of Japanese make.
" Baillff, open one Of those umbrellas, so
that the Court may see the Inscription"
Now there is a superstition as old as UNI
brellas that to open an umbrella in the house
is to ruin the show forever. That is why
Henderson, breathless and pale, with great
beads of pers spiration bursting from his
pores, arose and shouted to the Court.
The Judge smiled, ordered the bailif to
desist, fined the men So each, and a lew mo-
