E"ur 1t is the sense OF the committee
that MARK Tuck, the contractor on the
lateral sewers, and his foreman, Ed.
Huelster, have not complied with the
plans aud specifications; have permitted
the work to be done shabbily and not in
a workmanlike manner and we are of
the opinion that it would be for the best
interests of the city if they get no more
work of the kind to do.
Five-We recommend that hereafter
bonds to the amount of 30 per cent of
the contract price be required on all con
tract work.
Six-We recommend that the city en-
gineer be required to give good and suf-
iicient bonds for the faithful performance
Of his duties.
Seven-We condemn the action of the
city council and city attorney in p~articu-
lar in allowing "A contract to be entered
into with such an insufficient bond to
protect the city's interests.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE:

Dunn, Loretta Mining company. Barker.
1t is in reference to an interview between
myself and your reporter Feb. s, 1893.
Two or three weeks ago Mr.. Dunn had
a similar insertion in the Belt Mountain
Miner which | answered directly by
mail to him, regretting the error which
had occurred on account of the hurried
nature of the interview, but that no
harm had been done, as their specimens
were not yet labelled. | should have
thought this explanation was enough,
but as it seems not, ! would state that
every pound of ore received from the
Tiger is now at the Great Northern
freight depot at Great Falls, and will be
moved, labelled. and boxed, as soon as ]
receive instructions from my superior
officer. In the thirty mining claims req.
resented from Barker, the "T w" is as
yet not among them, and it is nov near
ly too late for any received to be
shipped.
And in conclusion | would state that
of the 23S mining properties nov repre-
scented from north Montana, | have USED
the utmost care that the labels were
properly inscribed and seen that a mis-
take vas impossible.

REPLY OF COUNClLMEN.
Council to the Report of the Sewer
Investigating Committee.

The Following is the Reply of the City
Council to the Report of the sewer
Investigating Committee.
We, the members of the city council
assembled, beg leave to extend thanks to
the committee of nine for their efforts in
prosecuting the work of investigating
the lateral sewer matter.
We agree with the committee that the
lateral sewer work was not properly in
spected by the city engineer and that
the contractor, Mark Tuck. did not ex-
ecute the work in accordance with the
specifications nor in a workmanlike
manner. After careful investigation we
are unable to substantiate the charge
that City Engineer Morley has been
guilty of wilfully corrupt practices.
We respectfully and earnestly invite
all persons to present proof Of corruption
on the part of the city engineer or any
other person connected with the city
government.
We agree that an ordinance should,
and will be, passed enabling the city
council to revoke the license Of any dis
reputable resort, such as the place of
Mark Tuck is said, by numerous wit
nesses to be. Pending the passage of
this ordinance we ask that the complain
ing witnesses place this matter in judi
cial hands to be thereby settled accord
ing to law.
We would respectfully call the atten-
ton of the committee to the fact that
the laws Of Montana provide that all
city contracts must be let to the lowest
bidder, provided he furnish "A good and
sufficient bond.
We agree that every city officer should
be required t. give bonds.

BURLINGTON PLANS.

After several Year. the G.. 30. secures a
Necessary Right of Way.
The news from Washington says the
Helena Independent, that the Burling-
ton has received the right of way across
the Crow reservation means more than
the : ordinary reader imagines. For
several years tie company has been
trying to gain this end in order to finish
its Montana extension. and now that it
has it WORK will be pushed with all the
u at its command. A peculiar
coincidence in connection with this right
of way privilege developed the past
week. On the day the president signed
the bill granting it, the Montana legis-
lature passed a bill in the interest of the
Big Horn & Southern. This bill was
signed by the governor Friday. 1t al.
lows the sale, consolidation or lease of
railway companies. The Big Horn &
Southern is controlled by the Selig-
mans of New York, and the object of
the Montana till was to permit its lease
or sale to or consolidation with the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. The
rnuteo of the Big Horn IL Southern has
been surveyed a considerable distance
and there is little question but the Bur
lington will reap the advantage of the
work already done. Along the line of
the Big Horn road are valuable coal
measures that make it an especially val
liable property.
Judging from appearances the Bur-
lington is in close alliance with the
Great Northern. Recent reports are to
the effect that the Burlington and
Great Northern will work together on
the Pacific coast to get into San Fran
cisco. and the interests of the two cor
poratlons are so closely identified that
the story is undoubtedly true. While
Great Falls will be one Of the objective
points of the Burlington. when the road
gets well along toward the center of
Montana, the Helena, White Sulphur
Springs * Castle railroad Will be pushed
ahead to intersect it at the most conven-
lent point and then there will probably
be another consolidation, lease or sale.
