All observant physicians have noticed

most successful and by far the safest

MR.. FOLLETT EXPLAINS.
Shows That @Going Value" Is Placed
Too High by Mr.. Cole.

Engineer w. w. Follett who was en-
ployed BY the city to estimate the valu-
alton OF the water plant. has written
to the mayor protesting against Mr.
Coles estimate on the going value OF
the plant 1t was on this that the eng1-
neers disagreed
MI FOllett says that Mr.. Coles esrt-
mate was entirely too high and cites
the decision OF Justice Brewer in the
case Of the Kansas City plant as his
authority. In this case the going value
of the plant was made at Il $40 per
cert Of the value OF the plant as return
ed by the appraisers and sanctioned by
the court This is the per cent that Mr.
FOlIett figured in his report to the city
In the Kansas City case the engineers
did not agree upon the structural value
of the plant as the engineers did in the
local case. and it was necessary TO ap-
point engineers to again estimate the
value. The lower court and the United
States court both raised the value aftF
the appraisement and il was on the last
estimate (S3 .OO0. 0OO) that the court made
its decision of the per cent for the &C
ing value.
Mr.. FOllett has the case at his fingers
end and evidently knows what he is
talking about.

The appointment of four judges Of the

that Shawnee county will not be recOE-

to the further fact that the Republican

The situation seems to be becoming
