The County Commissioners have been
engaged in measuring the retaining
walls on the Cash Hill road in Mead
township. 1t will be remembered that
there was controversy in regard to the
amount of stone in these walls. Some
time after the charge had been made
that the walls were over-measured, eX-
Commissioner Berry took County Sur
veyor Bond down TO measure the WORK,
but the Surveyor only made calcula-
ton on the statements Of Berry. The
Commissioners now are eXcavating
about the walls so that correct meas
urement can be taken. So far as the
excavation has progressed they have
been unable TO find the concrete work
that was claimed was at the base of the
walls. The rain yesterday interfered
with the work and 1t has been postpon-
ed until Friday. 1t is understood that
the retaining wall at Shaver's coal mine
is also to be thoroughly investigated, as
both Of these walls are the talk OF the
county.
