M'CARDY WILL NOT SIGN
=
The Forrestal Contract for Sweep
ing Summit and Nina, ,s


Comptroller McCardy yesterday re-
turned to the board of public works the
contract awarded to James Forrestaf
for the sweeping of Summit and Nina
avenues. In letter to the board, the
comptroller calls attention to sectious27
of the code of 1898. which provides that
in the award of contracts the boardCof
public works shall consider the respon-
sibility of bidder without any refer
ence to the financial responsibility of
tine sureties on the bond. The pro-
visions the comptroller did not think
had been complied with, or the board
could not have awarded the contract.
Under the circumstances, the COMP
troller informed the board he would not
sign the contract,
The contract in question was awarded
by the board of public works to For
restal on May Z. he being the lowest of
the nine bidders. and agreeing to do the
work for s34. rs per week. The assembly
confirmed the award May 10. and the
board of aldermen did likewise May Is.
The city attorney drew up the contract,
and after it had been signed by the
contractor. mayor and city clerk.it went
to the, comptroller for his signature, the
law stating that the comptroller shall
countersign all contracts.
1t is understood that the objections of
the comptroller as set forth in his lette /
to the board of public works mentioned
were also brought to the attention of
the city attorney. That official, how
ever, did not consider the point made
by the comptroller we'll taken in view
OF the fact that the board of public
works had passed on the question of
Forrestal's responsibility at the time
| the contract was awarded.
The opinion from the city attorney
| evidently did not suit the comptroller.
| for he at once notified the board that
| he did not consider Forrestal RESPONSE.
BILE. and declined to sign the contract.
In this connection it may be said that
| Comptroller McCardy signed and ap.
proved the four Sprinkling contracts
| awarded to FOrreStaI in March last by
the board Of public works without any
objections. The date of the approval
of the sprinkling contracts was before
| May l, and friend OF Forrestal was
unkind enough to put this and that to.
gether. and last evening gave it out as
his opinion that there was a deal OF
politics in the position taken by the
| comptroller.
President German. of the board OF
| public works, when asked last evening
what action the board would take in, the
matter, said the only thing they could
do was to notify Mr.. FOrrestal of the
| decision Of the comptroller. The con.
tract is not a large one, the total amount
which could he realized during the
season being in the neighborho0d OF
S700.
| Assistant CityAttorney Chaplin, asked
what would be the outcome, said it was
matter between the contractor and
the comptroller. and the only legal step
that could be taken was TO have FOrreS-
tai mandamuS the comptroller and
order him to show cause why the con
! tract should not be approved. -

FIRE. OFFICIALS FINED.
RESOLUTION ADOPTED TO IMPOSE
FINE CT A MONTHS PAY
FOR FUTURE LIKE OFFEySEs

Capt. Strapp and Lieut.. Clarkin
the Punished ,Firemen -James
Morrow to Publish Historical
sketch of Fire department.
Gibbons and Flanagan Given
Same Privilege-Routine w orb.
The fire board last evening imposed
fine OF 500 each on Capt. j. }. Strapp
and Lieut.. G. Clarkn, who were
suspended from duty on May 16, for
entering saloon while on duty and IN
uniform. On Nov. 3, 1898. the board
passed rule that no member of the de-
partment should enter saloon While
on duty, but neglected to add any
penalty for disobeying the same. 80
Last evening, after dispOsing of other
business, the matter of the suspension
of the two officers was taken up and the
board went into executive session
After discussion of half an hour, dur
which time both Strapp and Clarkn
were before the board, the members
filed out Of the private Office and an
nOunced the imposition of the fine
mentioned. AS substitutes had been
employed in the places of both men
during their suspension there was some
question as TO whether the men or the
board should pay the substitutes. 1t
was finally decided to pay the substi-
tutes on the regular roll instead Of hav-
ing the men fined pay them.
Commissioner Clark then offered the
following resolution. which was adopted: !:
That hereafter when member of the
IRE department is found in saloon in
uniform. except when in the line of his
duty, he shall be fiued one months pay,
and, OIL a repetition of the Otfense, he
shall be discharged.
James Morrow was given permission
to publish historical sketch of the fire
department, he having all agreement
with the relief association by the terms
of which 25 per cent of the profits will
be turned over to the association.
e. j. Gibbons and j. F. Flanagan
also asked for and were granted the
same permission. agreeing to give 80
per cent of the profits to the relief asso.
citation. The officers of the association
will determine which proposition to ac-
cept. -.
The request of the Minneapolis &
st. Paul Messenger company to connect

referred to the committee on ma

Four new fire alarm boxes we're rec
commended to be put in at the following
points: Chatsworth and Evergreen
streets, Grand and Lexington avenues,

The Quality of Tacitus.

The reason why Tacitus will ever, by a
large class of sympathetic readers, be
placed facile princeps among historians Is
not far TO seek. His grand elevation of
moral dignity has never been surpassed.
He has 10 relish for the ridiculous side of
absurdity, but ever gravely unfolds its
unreason. and writes like q man who had
never enjoyed hearty laugh. OF all the
pasquinades in which the cultured high
life of Rome avenged itself on its imperial
tormentors, he has preserved not one, al
though possibly some of its bitterer sar-
casms may have served to point the
deeply mordant comments which ever
and anon clinch the intervals of his mar
rative.
OF all the ancient historians preserved
to us, he had the fullest imaginative
power and the most profound moral con-
sciousness. In these characteristics Ter
tullian-apartfrom his Christianity-most
nearly of ancient writers resembles
him. But Tacitus never loses his tenn
per. as Tertullian frequently does, and
never accompanies the thunder OF
Judgment with the hailstorm of vitupera-
ton. His is "a landscape on which the
sun never shines,n but his gloom is al
ways calm, and by its very calmness
the more intent.
His word pictures remind US of the
legend of the Pilatus Mountain, which,
as it dar1ens with the mist. throws out
on that somber background the phantom
of the spectral suicide. His virtue has
the pungency, but also the robustness, of
prosecuted righteousness

The Santa Fe Moves Trains Under
shelter of q. S. Troops.
Los ANGELES, July 5.-A surprise was
issued from the United States Circuit
Court here this afternoon. Judge Ross,
in ordering the omnibus Injunction now
being served throughout the country to
prevent interference with the United
States mails, did not confine his order to
the strikers alone. The writs were served
as well upon Division Superintendent
Muir of the Southern Pacific, General
Manager Wade OF the Santa Fe, and, in
fact, on all persons in any way connected
with either road at this point. The writs
have been in the hands of deputy sheriffs
since Monday.
Under the shelter of United States
troops, the Santa Fe company moved
few trains to-day. One train was dis
patched to San Diego. It is also reported
that train went out of San Bernardino
on the kite-shaped track under the pro-
lection of deputy sheriffs.
At the Southern Pacific yards, notwith-
standing the presence of United States
troops, no trains were sent out. This
evening train for San Francisco is being
made up. A number of turn table hands
who were driven from the Southern Pa
cific yards by the strikers on Tuesday re-
turned to work under protection of the
troops this afternoon.
