agree with him doubtless still think that they
speak for Professionalism. They do not realize
that the bulk of their audience has deserted

the sort of Christian unity which is finding eX-

that those charged with their execution are

catastrophe occurred yesterday. Two work

MYERS WILL NOT PAY.
Comptroller Rejects Contractor
Kelly's Bill for $32,8ll.80.
Says the Repaving Of Third Avenue
Is Worse Than Bad.
ID Department OF Public Works Scored
for Certifying the Bill.

1t leaked out to-day that ComptroIleY
Myers had refused payment Of So, o
to william Kelly. who has the contract
for paving Third avenue from Ninety-
sixth to one Hundred and Twenty.fifth
street. on the ground that the work for
which the moeny was asked was worse
than bad.
As the work was accepted and payment
for 1t approved and certified by the De.
partment of Public Works. an expIana-'
tion from that Department is awaited
with much interest.
The Comptroller's expert who exam.
ined the pavement does not charge col.
fusion and fraud. but his language inti-
mates that there must be something
wrong somewhere when officials approve
or such botchwork as Comptroller Kel-
iy's Third avenue pavement.
1t Is the opinion of experts that it N
the worst job that ever was foisted
or attempted to be foisted on the city.
Neither tar sand or gravel was used
for filling In the cracks between the
pavnig stones. In some instances the
openings were flley with dirt, and the
stones were SO loose that they could
easily be taken up with the hand.
The sand under the old pavement was
utilized for a foundation for the new
pavement.
No attention was paid to symmetry In
laying the stones. which, II not held to-
gether between the curb and the car
track. would crumble and fall apart like
the filling Of n dirt road. This is in st,b.
stance the report made to Comptroller
Myers. b..
The estimated cost Of work for which
Kelly has the contract is s142,2lsso. He
has been paid $50, 500 for work done and
with which no fault was found.
His last demand was the final install.
ment on 70 per cent. of the contract
price. The city was to retain 80 per cent.
for a certain period as a guarantee that
the contract was performed according
to agreement.
The 30 per cent. amounts to 81, ,233. %.
but had tho last installment been paid
with out protest or investigation, Kelly
might claim that the work was ac-
cepted by the city and demand payment
In full.
kells claim Is In the hands of Public
Works Commissioner DAILY. The Com
missioner Is expected to see to II that
Kelly performs his work properly. I'M
