Merchants Association Repeats Charges of
Bad Work

bulky envelope marked Merchants Associa-
ton" lay unopened on District Attorney Jerome's
desk yesterday. 1t supposed to contain
charges against the Aqueduct Commission, which
Mayor Low has declined to entertain.
"I haven't opened It, and 1 don't know what it
contains" Mr. Jerome said. 81 am not going 10
open It, either. as I too busy TO get at 1t this
week"
The Merchants Association has sent to Messrs
Burr Herring and Freeman, the engineers ap-
pointed to investigate charges Of bad work at the
Jerome Park reservoir. statement of defects
alleged 10 have been discovered in the reservoirs
westerly wall, with the of engineers and
others who said to be able to verify the state
ment. The letter says that inspection on Tues
day failed to show leaks in the wall. presumably
because no water had been discharged at the back
OF the wall. The following request is made:
In view OF the conflict between the statement
of the chief engineer and those which we have
cited above, respectfully request that you will
cause a suitable trench to be excaYated at the
back of the wall throughout its entire extent and
sufficient stream OF water turned into that
test as to the worrhiness OF the wall in dispute.
The association has formally told Controller
Grout of the alleged defects and has informed him
that it will supply to him copies of the official
ords in order that he may be aware of the defec-
tive conditions and therefore withhold payment to
the contractors of the $4,000 guarantees fund held
by the city the payment Of which has already been
authorized by the Aqueduct Commission
