twenty per cent to tue fertile area OF

faced by engineers before. The dam is
a mile and a quarter long, is forty feet
wide on top, is OF solid masonry and
dams the waters OF Father Nile FOR a
distance OF one hundred and forty miles.

The Westinghouse, Church, Kerr Com

application made by the company for a par
tial payment on it's contract for furnis hing

street pumping station of the water depart
ment. The test of the boilers, it is stated,
has been delayed through no fault of tho
contractors. The contract called for pay
ment in a lump sum after satisfac Glory

sistant to the Engineer Commissioner re-
porting upon this latest request of the con-
tractors. says: 81.
This matter was carefully investigated
when the writer's previous request was I'M
der consideration. 1t was the opinion of the
auditor. after consultation with the ac-
counting officers of the Treasury Depart
ment. that in spite of the equities of the
case (which are admitted, it is not posi-
bic to make the partial payment requested,
in view of the very explicit provisions of
the contract in the matter. 1t will be pos
sible to make the prescribed tests of the
boilers before the installation of the ma
chinery, under another contract, provided
the applicant sees fit to install temporarily
certain piping which has been delivered on
the ground and been rejected. If this be
done there will be a delay of about two
weeks for the purpose of maintaining low
