1T CAUSES
COMMENT
Pay For Work on Canal
Fulton Bridge.
PAID SURVEYOR $40
Architect Revised Surveyor
Hoover's Plans and Rem
dered q Bill for
$o226A.

There has been considerable com
ment around the court house on the
small amount of compensation re
ceived by County Surveyor John. s
Hoover for his work as architect on the
Canal Fulton bridge. He prepared the
original plans and made the working
plans. receiving only $40 for the work
Architect Tilden, on the other hand
revised the plans after the bridge had
been partially built, and had charge
of the work until it was almost com.
pleted. There is some little work yet
to be done in the way of grading.
An examination of the records at
the auditors office shows that Archi.
tect Tildens bill for the work he did
as architect on the bridge called for
$922.64. OF this amount the commits
sioners allowed $3.50, holding back
S72.64 until the completion of the
grading that is yet to be done. There
was not sufficient money in the bridge
fund to pay the entire amount, and
Auditor Reed issued warrant for $500
only. The balance will be paid as soon
as there is money in fund.
1t is claimed that Hoover did as
much work as Tilden. He got beside
the ten dollars allowed as architect
S. per day for time actually spent on
the work of surveying and estimating.
One who has watched county affairs
closely said with regard to the mat.
ter:
Il do not understand this kind of dis
elimination. Even If it were found
that Hoover's plans were not just what
they wanted, he had done the work and
was entitled to pay. The commission.
ers themselves made a mistake when
they attempted to build that cottage
at the infirmary. They got beyond
the law just as they did in the bridge
case. No one disputes that the bridge
contract was beyond the statutes. If
the infirmary blunder was paid for why
should not Mr.. Hoover receive pay for
what he did? Is there such a differ.
ence between the work of a surveyor
and that of an architect that one should
receive paltry $40 and the other
nearly $1,000, about 800 to 81, for
simply changing and completing plans?
"You willsnotice that Mr.. Tilden re-
ceiyed abo,tsa similar amount forfthe
infrmary cottage that was never built
The two combined must make nearly
two thousand dollars he has received
from the commissioners the past year.
His services were probably worth it.
as architects are paid for. but | think
that Hoover should have the same con.
Mr.. Hoover was seen by the reporter
and asked relative to the matter. He
said:
81 can only say that received $40
for my services as architect. l got IS
a day while up there overseeing the
work and giving grades, etc. AS to
Mr.. Tilden's compensation l do not
know. I do not care to discuss that
matter"

FIELD FOR TAYLER.
Cincinnati Paper Makes Sug-
gestions as to What the
Congressman Should Do.

Under the heading, "A Field for Tay.
ler," the Cincinnati Enquirer prints the
following:
While Hon. Robert w. Tayler. who is
doubtless sincere in his desire to pro-
mote the sacreiness of marriage and
put a limit on divorce, and who was
very prominent in the work of keep
ing Brigham H. Roberts out OF cEngress
because he availed himself of the priv
ileges of his religion and had several
wives, he is possibly misdirecting his
efforts. He ought to be encouraged
in the advocacy, of that which may be
reasonably accomplished in the line of
reform. The field for his enterprise
is constantly broadening. The popula-
tion is rapidly increasing, Every
year there are more people to get mar
ried and divorced. New states have
been admitted to the union rather recls.

admitted, are too lenient in their di.

that they will grow steadier as they
get older and watch patiently the ex-
ample Of the older states.
We have also expanded" We have
taken in remote territory where slavery
and polygamy exist without hindrance.
The sultan of .5ulu, under the terms of
his bargain with the United States, has
the privilege to maintain as many
wives, or concubines, as please him.
He is person upon whom moral siia-
sion will have no effect. He has been
brought up to believe in harem, and
possibly regards 1t as a part OF his re-
ligion. We venture to hope that Mr..
Tayler will expand with the expansion
of opportunities. New access to heath
enism should make the missionary re,
joice in his strength. We are not sure
that Mr.. Tayler should not tackle"
the sultan of Sulu and his harem and
his slaves before he sets to work to
amend the constitution so as to central
ize marriage and divorce regulations at
home In the federal compact. The nee
essary change of the constitution of the
United States would take several years
II 1t could he accomplished at all. There
is no constitutional obstruction In the

This is understood to be the line
represented by Mr.. julius Whiting for
which he bid three.cent fare for Canton
when the matter was taken up at the
council meeting Monday evening.
Whiting claimed at the time and since
that he made the bid in good faith
and had abundant capital back of the
project. He could not be seen Wednes-
day before the News-Democrat went
to press. so no additional particulars
could be learned of the project.
