ming to be destructive to the foliage es-
pecially on some maple trees. There is
only one bird that seems to feed on these
unwelcome visitors, the rain crow. A

may prevent the pest from making any

The township has brought suit in the
Supreme Court of New Jersey against the
American Surety Company, of New York,
for 500, 900. The suit is the outcome of
the failure of Lonzello & Tigh to complete
Moorestown's sewer system. They under
took the contract for $40, 900, but after
doned the contract. The American Surety
Company went on the contractors bond
for $4,000. After the abandonment of
the job by the original contractors, the
township re- advertised for bids and were
obliged to pay much higher price for
the completion of the work The town
ship now claims the forfeiture of the bond
money to reimburse them for the losses
occasioned by the original contractors
action in abandoning the work.
Another sensation has been sprung in
the sewer muddle by the resignation of
the inspector, George Brock. Mr. Brock
is member of the township committee
and has served as inspector of the sewer
construction work since its start. He has
been dissatisfied some time with the man
ner in which the pipe is laid to the dis
posal works through bed of quicksand
He has demonstrated with the engineer
and complained to the township committee
without avail. Being quicksand. it will
settle unless the support is strong enough
to hold the pipe, the inevitable result
being that the joints of the terra Gotta
pipe will break. Mr.. Brock states that he
has worked honestly and faithfully for the
towns interests and that his sole object in
accepting the inspectorship was to see that
the sewer was constructed correctly, ac-
cording to well defined plans, hence when
in his judgment the work was improperly
done he felt he was duty bound to make
objection. There are many who look on
the sewer as a hoodoo. The first .contrac-
tor failed. One man has been killed and
several injured in the construction. The
cost of.completing it will be nearly double
the original estimate.

DECLARES ARCHITECT AT FAULT
Chicago Statesmen Are Kicking on
Construction of Federal Building,

Washington. May 5.-A careful exami-
nation OF the specifications under which
Contractor Pierce is constructing the fed
eral building has satisfied the Chica 60
congressman who are directing the in
ouiry into the cause of delay that has
been within the power OF Architect Cobb
TO expedite matters.
They refer to provisions in the specif-
cations and contract to show that Mr..
Cobb had the reserved right to compel
the contractor to complete certain por-
tons of the building within reasonable
time
Under this stipulation, they assert. Mr..
Cobb could have insistedl upon the con-
struction of the several wings one after
another, and could have greatly facili-
tated affairs by having the interior of
one wing finished while the exterior of
another was being constructed.
This would have been practicable. they
insist. and would have been extremely
beneficial in providing accommodations
for offices that have been occupying rent
ed quarters.
The contract provides that failure by
Mr. Pierce 70 complete any part of the
work in the time allowed by the govern
ment gave Architect Cobb the right to
proceed within eight days with the work,
any loss TO the government 10 be charg
ed against the contractor.
The Chicago congressman declare that
il was net necessary for Pierce TO wait
over four months. from July until in
November. 1898. for the contractor for
the foundation to complete his work;
that II there has been any desire on the
part Of the architect or Pierce the latter
would have begun work under his con-
tract in July. as It was not necessary for
the entire foundation 10 he completed.
They assert that he could have started
upon one of the wings promptly and
could have pushed work upon 1t while
the contractor for the foundation was
finishing his task. They say they intend
TO investigate the whole mat
ted and demonstrate beyond doubt wheth-
er the work has been conducted in a
manner
