ADVERSE Recommendation Made,
r. Golden Donaldson, who is associated
with c. c. Cole in the conduct of the Po-
tcmac fats cases for the government, re-
Gently requested the inspector of buildings
to detail two men from his Office to assist
In the cases by giving expert testimony as
to the valuation of the property along the
river front Mr.. Snowden Ashford, the in
spector of buildings, has made an adverse
recommendation to the Commissioners Mr.
Ashford says he has conferred with the at
torney for the District on the subject, and
the latter official is of the opinion that
there must be some funds available for the
compensation of outside builders in giving
such testimony. Major John Biddle, the
Engineer Commissioner, states that it is
impossible for the building department to
furnish two men for this work for the
length of time asked for, which is nearly
four months, as the department cannot now
properly attend to all the business i'm
posed upon it by law by reason of the in
adequacy of the force. He recommends
that outside men be employed for the pur-
pose of giving the testimony desired.

615 Bond ST.. Kenosh;

The Council turned him down once,
/: but the second time the Mayor ap-
pointed a committee consisting of
Aldermen Smith, O'Brien and Ander-
son to investigate and the emeeting
Wednesday night was the result. AT
this meeting Cumiskey objected to
about everything the Commissioners
had done for a number of years,
although no complaint had ever been
made to the Commissioners previous
to his resignation. Among some of
the things he objected to was the fact
that the Commissioners had pur-
chased an extra coal car for the night
engineer, cost $50. They had also pro-
cured some monthly statements, in
which the complete records of coal
used and water pumped every day were
kept; the statement is called log and
cost rs cents per year. Then, too,
they ought to have bought 128 pump
valves where IL would have suh1ced, al
though he had not used up all there
were on hand; they ought to have
bought an air pump, &C., &c. The
Two COAA R4oAAAS AAANhSAOhO0 LA
Cumiskey's letter are answered in the
following report submitted by the
Commissioners. The rest were not
worth noticing in the report, although
they were all answered at the meeting.
To the Investigating Committee:
CENT EMEN: - The only times the
Com rr1iSSionerS can remember of "priV-
ing away the peoples money" as Mr..
Cumiskey calls it, is when they allowed
employees at the plant full pay during
sickness and a weeks vacation each
year, and when they allowed Superin-
tendent Moth 500 on Sept. Is, 1900, and
which was mentioned in the EVENING
News of the next day,Ras follows:
''The superintendent was allowed
500 extra for the past year for the
large amount of extra work and the
commendable way it had been per-
formed"
We presume Mr.. Cumiskey refers to
the 800 extra pay which the superin-
tendent received when he mentions the
''1arge sum" of the peoples money
being given away rather than to the
amount of extra pay he received every
year. Assuming this to be the case

MARRIED AT ST. JOE.
Prominent Swedish Couple Steal March
=.fgr on Their Friends

Swedish circles were greatly sur
prised to learn today of the e1opement
aud secret marriage of Andrew Hoe
rup, of Racine, and Miss Dagmar Pet
erson, of Kenosha.
Some six or eight weeks ago the
young pair went together on short
vacation trip to Michigan. They took
the boat from Chicago, and on arriv.
ing at ST. Joe Immediately proceeded
to the residence of the Swedish Luth-
eran minister there and were joined in
the bonds of holy wed1ock. The mar
rage was opposed by the friends OF
the young couple, and they took this
means of escaping opposition.
The groom holds an important posi-
ton in Racine, and is linguist of
considerable ability. The happy cou-
pie will soon start housekeeping in
Racine.

Water Commissioners Are Catechised
by Ex-Engineer Cumiskey Much
to Amusement OF the People.
is A FAKE PURE AND SIMPLE
Commissioners Don't Claim to be InfalH-
ble but Are Proud of Their Record
They Work for Citizens Of Kenosha.

The three Aldermen comprising the
investigating committee appointed oy
the Mayor to investigate the workings
of the Water department were ool1geo
to sit for two and one-half hours on
Wednesday evening and hear lot or
fake complaints brought against the
Water Commissioners. The Commls-
sioners were also obliged to sit there
and answer them although there was
absolutely no foundation for the COM
plants. Anyone who lInows the
record of the Water department FOR the
past three years knows that there Is
not another institution OF its size IN
the Northwest that has been run as
economically and with such regard for
the best interests of the citizens as
our own.
The whole investigation is a fake
pure and simple, brought on by tx
Engineer Cumiskey and some allegeo
friends. The whole matter in nut
shell is that Cumiskey, in moment
of passion drought on by some sup
nosed grievance he had against the
superintendent and which was I'M
known to the Water Commissioners,
resigned at a moments notice and LETT
the plant in busy time without DAY
engineer. He did not give the Com
rnissioners a weeks, nor even days,
notice to get another engineer. Ihe
result was that they were in "oox'
but the night engineer stayed at the
pumps for SO hours straight and so
helped the Commissioners out until
they were able to get another engineer,
and now the plant is running even
better than it was before.
Cumiskey knows he served the
Commissioners mean trick in resign
ing the way he did, and consequently
he is angry at himself and everybody
and everything ever connected with
the Water department, and is trying to
make trouble. He sent the following
letter to the council at its last meeting:
Kenosha, Sept. 3rd, 1901.
To the Hon. Mayor and Common
Council of the City of 6enosha:
Conference.-The undersigned citi-
zen and taxpayer OF the city OF Keno
sha requests that you investigate the
Water Department of the city of Keno
sha so far as the pumping station is
concerned, charging that it is mis-
managed and not conducted in the IN
terest of the taxpayers. First, they,
the Water Department, refuse to sup
ply necessary repairs to keep the
pumps in good running order because
the Water Co. could not afford it, but a
few months later, they make a
present of a large sum of the peoples
money to an individual who is in
the employ of the Water Department.
Second, contracts for large guam
titles of coal were given to bidders
who were away high, thus not looking
after the economy of the plant. These,
gentlemen, are but two of the things [
wish investigated, which I think are
sufficient cause for an investigation.
Yours,
