PROBING THE AsPHALT RING.
officers Charged With Misconduct
: ImYite InYeSffEafion


New York Oct. 5.-1Public feeling
against the asphalt ring. which is charg-
ed with fleeing the city, mas gained such
force that it will probably result in the
transactions of former boards of public
works being thoroughly Investigated and
sweeping changes in the methods of let
ting future paving Contracts
The compulsory resignation of Steven
son Towle consulting engineer in the de-
partment of highways, to Mayor Van
Wyck yesterday. and the statement of
District Attorney Gardiner that the re-
port OF the commissioners of accounts
was to be placed before the grand jury
were two developments that caused con-
sternation among the asphalt companies
in the ring.
Stevenson Towle's son. Harry B. Towle.
is treasurer OF the Atlantic AlcatraZ Paw
ing Company. one of the companies that
has been sharing the city's lucrative con-
tracts. That is not the only case. 1t is al
legged. in which former officials in the old
department of public works have had
members of their families connected with
companies receiving contracts.
District Attorney Gardiner is busy ex-
amining the reports made to the mayor
by the commissioners Of accounts. He
said they would probably be laid before
the grand jury in few days.
The Barber Asphalt Paving Company,
through its general manager, p. w. Hen
~. denied yesterday that there had been
any combinations or deals by which out
side companies were prevented from COM
peting. or by which big contracts went to
favorites.
I'VE shall be glad to be investigated. "
we are mot making the immense profits
the mayor talks about. and that there
is no asphalt ring in this city. There Isl
no other city in the country where the
expenses attached TO laying asphalt are
as great as they are here. In the mat
ter of carting alone we have TO pay ex-
ceptionally high prices.
Gen. Charles H. T. Coils, commission
er of public works under Mayor Strong,
also says he is courting investigation.
Mayor Van Wyck is trying to make
political capital out of the records left
by my department" he said yesterday.
II shall be glad TO show the public how
much / did to reduce the price of asphalt
paving, and how much more economically
the department was conducted than uu-
der my predecessors.
Mr. Brookfield and ] changed the as
phalt paving specifications so as to admit
competition. ! hope the district attorney
will take the case up. for my testimony
viii not improve Tammany Halls pros
poets. ] reduced the price of asphalt
paving in the city from 25 to 80 per cent.
Let the investigation come"
