BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

Z hree sewer Contracts Awarded-Sev-
eral Bridges Reported In Need OF Re
pair-City Engineer Kelly Reports
on tho Widening of the West River
and the Ditching OF the Meadows-
other Business.
The old question of the town owing the
city money bobbed up serenely again yes
terdsy at the meeting of the board of pub
lie works. The question was brought up
by the attention of the board being called
to the condition of the GAINESVILLE and
other bridges which are sadly In need of
repair. When the question was brought
up Mayor Sargent said: eff the town would
only pay the city the 5000 1t has owed to
the city for something like thirty five years
this board would have plenty of money to
keep all the bridges In perfect condition"
The southerly wall of the bridge is in need
of repair and the matter was referred TO
the chairman of the committee on bridges,
Lyman 81. johnson, and City Engineer
Kelly, with power to set.
Contracts for three new sewers were
then awarded as follows: In Mill River
street, from Laurel to Walnut street, to
Lawrence OBrien Tor $tSS. oU; In hednelQ
street, from Columbus avenue to Congress
avenue, to Anthony Carroll at 1886; and in
Chapel street, from the Boulevard to Nor
ton street, to Nugent & Graham at ST.
s79.9
In accordance with instructions received
at the last meeting of the board City
Engineer Kelly reported that he and Super
intendsn Doyle had visited the West river
and ascertained that the river could be
widened, deepsned and Strengthened for a
distance of eleven feet to the north of the
Derby avenue railroad bridge at cost of
81, 600, and that the board had no legisla-
tive authority over the river to the south of
| that bridge. 1t was decided to refer the
matter to the court of common council and
AJAX for an appropriation with which to do
l the work.
City Engineer Kelly next explained In
| the matter of constructing bitches on the
West river meadows all that the city could
do Without oppoeition from the property
owners was to dig two trenches near the
bend of the river to the north of the
Derby avenue bridge at q total cost of $46.
| It was decided to leave the matter in the
hands of thu olty engineer and superin-
tendent of streets with power to act.
l The question of the proposed new bridge
over the Water street crossing of the CON.
solidated road was next taken up. Thit
bridge Is to be sixty feet over all with G
forty feet roadway, the structure to have
. foundation floor Of 3-inch planking Will

all: Gentlemen, when this is over am

all: "aentlemen, when this is over am
through"
I have not called upon Mr.. Cleveland to
fulfill any campaign contract, for the SIM
pie reason that none was made by me.
have not asked him to appoint man to
Office simply because had said that when
the campaign was over was through. I
say again that made no contracts either
with Mr.. Van Allen or anybody else. There
were no promises made even by inference.
Concerning tho alleged remark of Mr..
Cleveland that he hsd Learned to distrust
Mr.. W hitney and his tricks" can only
say that do not believe Mr.. Cleveland
ever made that remark.
I have read the novel and interesting
suggestions made by Mr.. Horace White
that in such cases where ofHces have been
promised for money, the money should be
returned in all cases. Although not espe-
cially pertinent ct this time, as no such
case existed take the occasion to differ
from this opinion, Think the man should
lose both ofics and money and be forever
barred from society.
Such, think would be Mr.. Van Aliens
opinion If 1t can be gathered which he
wrote at about the time spoken by Mr..
White. It was called out by letter from
a friend who had heard of the White syn
dictate. The letter was as follows:
"Msy IL, 1898.
Dear-Many thanks for your letter of
yesterday. 1 am much surprised at the
charges you say have been made against
me. am cert tain, if the president believes
them, my appointment to any position
would be scandalous. can only say that
these charges that stated I was to have
diplomatic position in exchange for money
by me for political purposes are
uttorly false, and I defy anyone to prove
that have written, spoken or limited at
one word indicating in any way such an
agreement. I should be combination of
knave, fool and liar to have made such
for there was absolutely no IN
between myself and anyone
hat should have any Office under the
government.
What was eaid was said after the cleo
ion November last and was merely an ex-
preston of wish on my part aud prom
az of aesistsnoe Y in oarrv-
ng out my wishes.
Yours very trnly.
j. J. VAN ALIEN
rrust that you will gather from these
etters and interviews that instead of there
,eirg any contract that Mr. Van Allen
houd have the Italian mission, the prssi
lent was distinctly, in terms, informed by
ne: There ia no obligation upon you 10
'ppoint him to any mission
Mr.. Van Allen had the support of his |
tate for this appointment, was personally

1t aims to cure Consumption,
Hits the Mark, too, and it
most effectually breaks up Colds,
Coughs, Hoarseness and all
Throat and Lung troubles that
cause this disease.
1t is natural logic to conclude
that if WAMPoLE's PREPARATION
OF COD LIVER OIL has power
to prevent Consumption, it sure
ly is able to cure these lesser
emergencies.
This vigor-making, fat pro-
ducing preparation is Absolute
ly Tasteless, in SO far as Cod
Liver Oil is concerned. All
you notice is a delightful flavor
of Wild Cherry and Anise.
But the purest Norwegian
Cod Liver Oil is there all the
same. 1t is a great blood en-
richer. Best of all it is natu-
raj food that in its stomachic
effects, actually assists its own
assimilation.
In Pulmonary or Bronchial
troubles it is unequalled. No
one doubts the value of Cod
Liver Oil, but not every one is
able to take it.
