Owing to the rain of last Tuesdav the

The members of the class on that occa-

recitation by Miss Laura Baker. ana ali
present expressed themselves as deeplv in

delightful addition to the regular pro-
gramme.
Owing TO the number of absences at the
last meeting it was decided to repeat some

DisorderIy Conduct of Southern As
phaIt Employees.


AS a result of the efforts Of City In
spector Allen to discharge his duties at
Bull and Bryan streets yesterday after
noon. the Southern Asphalt Company not
only declined to comply with the inspec-
fors suggestions as to work he consider
ed was being improperly done, but he was
cursed by Superintendent Nichols, and
General Manager Shreve stood by and in
dorsed the Objectionable language his en-
ploye was using
Director Gadsden has instructed Inspec-
tor Allen to look after the city's interest
In the work the Southern Asphalt Com
pany Is now doing on the streets. 1t is
the Inspectors duty to see that the specih-
cations are compiled with, first, by
thoroughly tamping the soil before the
concrete is laid, and then by seeing that
the cushion and asphalt are properly laid.
While the asphalt company guarantees its
work, the city has the right to call at
tention to any work that is being improp-
erly done, both for the saving of time and
expense. The city does not care toshave
the asphalt company carelessly rushing
over its work TO get through by May !,
and then be put to the expense of paying
for repairs within a few weeks there
after.
According to Inspector Allen and City
Engineer Winn, the soil in ditch on Bull
near Bryan street, which was be-
ing covered with concrete prepara-
tory TO laying asphalt had not
been sufficiently tamped The inspector
found by test with his walking stick that
the soil was very loose. Before calling
attention TO it, however, he desired to
make sure he was right, and accordingly
called upon City Engineer Winn, who
agreed with the inspector that il would
not be advisable to let the concrete go
doWn IN such a manner. Inspector Allen
says there was little resistance in insert
ing his cane eighteen inches into the soil.
When the attention of Supt. Nichols was
calico TO the matter il is stated he SEEM
ed inclined to agree with the inspector or
at ieast, he was not so aggressive as he
was little later. During the converse
ton between Allen and Nichols, General
Manager Shreve appeared. His attention
was called to the loose condition of the
soil by Inspector Allen.
See here, you have been interfering
with out business long enough, and the
first thing you know that man will slap
your face" the general manager shouted
10 Allen, in referring to Nichols
ms was followed up by Nichols with
HOW or obscenity and profanity of the viii
est sort to which ladies and passers-bv
nad TO listen. Manager Shreve backed up
ms superintendent, who wanted 10 fight
WIN knives, pistols or any sort of weapon.
1t Is likely The city officials will come to
some understanding with the asphalt COM
pany about the way work is to be done
ana also incidentally about the preserva
ton or order on the streets. 1t was only
recently that a till occurred between that
company and the new telephone conoDanv
at congress lane and Whitaker street, and

tory Of the island. The elaborate display
Of bunting In the harbor and the multi

until Gen. Brooke's departure. During

attend to routine work At the palace.
Next Saturday Gen. Ludlow will give
