The morning call., 1893-10-29

| ct person 10 90 lne DuyiDS IOT Tue mouse,
was given charge of this branch Of the
business. AS wholesale San Francisco
manufacturer he represented himself as a
most capable man to buy the goods.
The complaint states that Nolan pur-
chased bill of goods, consisting of many
cases of shoes. from a New Jersey factory
which amounted to S455 or So 25 for each
pair of shoes, but that he charged plaintiff
S525 o. SO 70 for the shoes.
! AT another time, the complaint says,
| Nolan sent over lot of shoes from his San
Francisco factory. which Lohse refused to
receive. but which Nolan, with the aid of
several Of the clerks. forced upon the
upon tie shelves. For these goods and
| others, Lohse declares, Nolan drew firm
| money from the Union Savings Bank of
| Oakland to the amount OF S2275 so, with
which to pay, all of which was contrary to
the wishes of plaintiff.
Lohse feels aggrieved and asks that a
dissolution may be had, an accountin G or
out the firms affairs.
Who Is to Blame?
| The paving of Telegraph avenue with
bitumen just little over a year ago at a
cost of S45. 600 was supposed to have been
a very good job, and, indeed, the street was
most beautiful 10 look at, and ordinarily
should have lasted a half-doZen years
without break; but already patching is
going on. the Council having allowed $500
with which to stop up some ruts and
chuckholes with which the avenue
| ab0unds.
The residents along the thoroughfare
are complaining bitterly of the way In
which the work was DONE and have come
to the inclusion that their money was
worse than wasted.
One party bames the defective work on
h. 81
City Council because of letting the con-
tract too low; another blames the City
Engineer, whose specifications only called
| for Y inches of bitumen when there
should have been 2h inches. An other
blames the Superintendent of Streets, who
! it Is said did not try to prevent the use of
| poor materials. Another says it was the
railroad company. which had neglected to
pave its portion of the street until after
the winter rains had fully undermined tine
balance of the street. There are thou
sand and one reasons given as to just why
this newly paved street is already going to
pieces, and it is probable that an investi-
cation will be had and the reason for the
breakdown be ferreted OUT.
