John J.. Sheridan, who is acting as
| inspector for the road commissioners,
| is now on their payroll as receiving
the regular wages paid by the cOmmis-
sioners, and not the salary of q civil
engineer as was first reported Some
OF Mr. Sheridan's friends think the re-
ports of his getting a 500 a month
salary were maliciously circulated by
persons desiring to handicap his can
| didacy for assessor
When questioned about the matter
yesterday a friend of Mr. Sheridan
L stated that the very ordinary salary
was not the worst part of the his job
but be may have to wait two years fol
his check or order to be cashed by the
slow process of the road commission
ers' exchecquer
Eleven of the Italian labOrers en-
i plOyed in the grading left yesterday

men are remarkably swift with pick
| and shovel and as one foreman put il
"They keep about ton of dirt In the
air all the time when throwing out
