OF IncaIcuIable Value

OF lncaiculable Value
The destructive floods of the lower
Mississippi will have a tendency to
awaken the public to the necessity of
creating the large storage basins to
hold back the headwaters, releasing
them later in the season when they
can do no damage. BY this means
property would be saved from destruc-
ton in the spring and navigation i'm
proved in the summe season. The
government has spent millions in
building leyies in the south that have
proven a failure every few years,
whereas with no greater expenditure
the evil can be remedied and at the
same time millions Of acres of arid
land could be reclaimed.
The Leader is able to announce
that the government is about to
establish one of the great storage ba-
sins in the west at DEVILS Gate, the
benefits Of which will be far reaching
and difficult to estimate in its value to
Wyiming, Nebraska and the Gulf
states.-Leader.

DISTRICT COAL SUPPLY
MIR. JOHN KENNEDY, JR's., AT
roRNEY ENTERS A PROTEST.
Saws That Rejection Of His Clients
Bid Will Cost the Taxpayers
Over q, 900.

Harry H. Hollander, as attorney for John
Kennedy. IT.. one Of the bidders to supply
anthracite coal to the District Of Columbia,
has written to the Commissioners protest
ing against the rejection of his clients Dad
on the ground that the vein from when the
coal is to be mined was not specifed. MT.
Hollander points out that If Mr. kennedy's
hid is rejected on this slight ground 1t Will
mean a loss Of more than $1,000 to the Dis
trict taxpayers. He says:
..On behalf of John Kennedy, jr., and as
his attorney, I desire to protest against
the approval Of the recommendation OF the
property clerk. Mr.. F. o. Beckett, In re-
gard to the award of the coal contract for
the District Of Columbia for the next fiscal
year. According to the published reports
of the recommendation of the property
clerk the proposal of my client Is said to
be informal ON the ground that his bid
does not specify the vein or Individual col
ueries from which it is proposed to make
deliveries.
while the right is reserved by you to
accept or reject any of the bids. 1t Is: re-
spectfuIly submitted that this right should
not be exercised arbitrarily or in defissnce
of good business methods or IN disregard
of the public interest. particularly when
under paragraph IL OF the general condi-
tions pertaining to proposals for fuel you
reserve the right to waive any informality.
II am informed that 1t is recommended
that the bids of the next highest bidders be
accepted. solely on the grounds above
stated and with no apparent consideration
of the rights of the public. The difference
between the figures submitted by my client
and the next lowest bidders. namely,
those of the Reading Coal Company and
Mr.. v. Baldwin Johnson. make an agSrc-
gate on six items of coal of s., 1852, thus by
following the recommendations of your
property clerk this amount of money would
be taken directly from the pockets Of the
taxpayers with no benefit accruing.
81 am informed that the proposals other
than the one of my client stated that de-
liveries would be made from the ecllieries
of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company. AS is well known. this conf
many operate about forty collieries, conse-
uuently the vein or grade of coal is not
mentioned under a proposal containing such
reference My clients proposal stated that
the coal would be supplied from the Schuyl-
Kill region-well known for superior quality
of its coal-and such statement is more ad-
yantageous as to location than refer
ence can be to coal shipped by any of tho
larger companies
sOn the grounds above stated I strongly
object on behalf of my client to the ap-
nroyal of the recommendation OF your
property clerk as stated in the public press
and to the award of contracts for coal for
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1904, to
bidders whose figures are higher than those
of my client"
