People who use the causpway appre
ciate the action of the Street and Sewer
Department in having the road put in
good condition. At the meeting of the
directors yesterday letter was received
from Jones Guthrie & Co., thanking the
department for the improvement of the
causeway and asking that an arc light
be placed at Causeway and Guthrie $
lane. The request was laid over for
future consideration, as was also one
from residents and property owners in
Second street between Scott and Lin

middle of the square. There are many
requests for lights in different parts of

CANDIDATE FOR DETECTIVE.
Police Captain George Black After
the Place Again.

Applicants for the Office of State de-
tective are again active since the Court
in Banc gave its decision that the Lcgis-
lature had the right to abolish the office,
which opinion oustcd Detectives .McVcy

Black. who was appointed State de-
tective by Governor Hum and resigned
on account Of the uncertainty Of the
situation, will again be candidate for
the Office.
" hen he was appointed by the COVER
nor Captain Black was recommended by
Attorney General Ward. He is well
qualified for the position. having had
some years experience in the Police De-
partment. and it is probable that Mr.
Ward will again recommend him for the
position. though he said yesterday he
had had no applications and had given
the question no consideration.
Governor Hum will probably make
the appointment before long and call
an extra session Of the Legislature to
confirm the appointment and also those
of James p. Ra,ledge as State detective,

the Municipal Court. 1t is not likely
that this will be done. however. until

REPAIR BILL REDUCED.
But Water Commissioners Still Re-
fuse to Pay.
Think the Street and Sewer Depart.
ment is High in Its
Charges.

At meeting of the Board Of Water
! Commissioners held July 10, objection
was made to hill of the Street and
Sewer Department for sl,663.10 which
the board considered an unreasonable
amount. The bill was for repairing
streets damaged by the bursting Of the
Rodney street reservoir several months
ago. Members of the Water Depart
ment thought the bill was too large and
Chief Engineer Bond was instructed to
communicate with the Street and Sewer
Department in regard to the matter.
At meeting of the Water Board held
yesterday afternoon the following com
munication was received from the Street
and Sewer Department.: eve beg to ac-
knowledge receipt Of communication
from Mr.. Bond concerning certain
bin of expense for resllrfacing certain
streets and made necessary by and on
account of your reservoir accident. We
have carefully considered the question
Of the condition of the streets Immediately
prior to the accident and from our re-
ports on the matter we are satisfied that
the streets could have been placed in a

equal to one-third Of the expense we

We have an exact account of this work
in detail, such as is our practice in all
Of our undertakings, and it will show
that the amount expended was for the
streets mentioned. We are, however.
satisfied that our proper proportion of
the account should be the sum of $55437,
which would leave an item Of s1,10S.13
as your share"
Although the amount apportioned the

munication was s554.37 less than the
bill received two weeks ago. members
of the board were still of the opinion
that the charges were too much. The
board thought $500 would cover the dam
ages done by the reservoir bursting

again communicate with the Street and
