 The board of public works will meet tonight when property owners on Hill street will be given an opportunity to say what they think about the pro- posed layout, grade and establishment of building lines in that street. It is | said that some of the petitioners don't want to see the work go ahead now, but whether this is so or not is some thing that cannot be stated as fact until after the people have been called and heard. To be sure it is not an uncommon thing to sec man making vigorous protest against his own pc tition so that nobody should wonder if something of that sort turns up among the Hill street folks. When people learn the probable cost attending lay outs of streets they often experience a change of heart and make up their minds to wait trffle longer before assuming responsibilities which they are not able to meet.

 Contractor Patrick Thompson claims 1 to have a grievance against the board of public works and if what he states be true he has reason to feel that he has not been used quite right. He says he built about S5 per cent of the retain ing wall on Mill street and that so far as he knows his work was eminently satisfactory to the engineer and the board. When he got through, in &C., cordance with the usual custom among 1 men in his line, he had his name in- serted ill conspicuous spot in the work. It was cut on a piece of high brass and set into tho cement in the l pier, where it could be seen from Mill and Baldwin streets. Later on the city decided to carry the wall little farther and MT Chatfeld was given the job. When he got through Thompson's 1 card was chiseled out of the wall and 1 one bearing the name "Chatf1eld & Ohatfield" set in the work, not where his had been but just little around |
