WILL COMPEL CONTRACTOR
TO FULFILL AGREEMENT
MacadTm Surfacing on Oliver
Avenue Short of the Speci-
hcationS.

AS a result of recent complaints that the
macadam surfacing of Oliver avenue does
not fulfill the terms of the contract as let
by the city to the American Construction
Company, City Engineer Jeup and several
assistants made an examination of the work
yesterday. They found that there is a flaw
not only in the stone surface, but also
in the curbing of the street
The Improvement OF oliver avenue ex-
tends from the river bridge TO Harding
street 1t completed a month ago.
and the work accepted by the city. The
contract by which it was done provided
that the macadam was to be fourteen
inches deep at the car rail and eleven
inches deep at the curb gutter; City En-
gineer Jeup found that the depth of the
macadam at the street car rail was only
twelve inches, and at the gutter but ten
inches. He also discovered that the depth
of the curbing from one and one-half
to two and one-half inches less than the
specifications provided.
Mr.. Jeup upon his return from the in
spection wrote the Board of Works that
the contractor, Daniel Foley, will be COM
PEELED to put on extra surface of ma
cadam to the depth of one and one-half
inches, and to remedy the defects of the
curbing. He said that although the city
had accepted the work the company which
did the work was still compelled to fulfill
the specifications of the contract.

AN AMENDED ORDINANCE
FOR THE CITY COUNCIL
Increase in Pay of Patrolmen to
Become Effective After
Jan. 1, 1905.
IT HAS SOME SUPPORT

Before the ordinance of Councilman
MOriarity to increase the salaries of patrol
men is reported by the finance committee,
il will be amended so as To provide that
the officers shall receive an increase in
their salaries after Jan. l, 1905. 1t is under
stood that the amendment will be supported
by many of the councimen.
Since no provision was made for in
creasing salaries when the appropriation
wars first made, il would be impossible to
raise salaries at present. One member Of
the City Council said yesterday that if the
amendment is recommended by the COM
mittee. the ordinance will without doubt
be passed
Some members of the department claim
that they are entitled TO an increase at
once because the fremen receive an in
crease. They are also claiming pay for
overtime service, which is provided for
in an ordinance passed by the Council five
years ago, but which has never been en-
forced and which had become obsolete until
unearthed by members of 1.-THE department.
The ordinance provides that the patrol
extra work they may be detailed TO per
form from money appropriated for that
purpose
Mayor Hoffman said he did not know of
the ordinance. He thought the city would
make no appropriation for the payment
of patromen detailed extra work. 1t is
reported that the patrolmen are thinking
to secure their alleged rights under the city
ordinance.

MAN CLAIMING To Be BOER
WAS PROBABLY A FRAUD
He Registered at the Jefferson
Hotel, but When 1t Got Too
Warm He Left.

DR.. E r. De Wal, a middle gee man,
representing himself as a nephew of former
President Kruger, of the Transvaal re-
public. registered at the jefferson Hotel
Wednesday night. He told the proprietor
that he had been sent there by the Rev
J. c. Peters. pastor OF the German Evan
gelical Zion Church. He also told the
proprietor that he only had 81 and wished
10 stay there until he could see the pastors
of the German churches in the city and
arrange with them to lecture on the Beers
cause.
He claimed 10 have been the private sec
rotary OF President Kruger and that at
one time he was president of the Trans
vaal synod OF the German Lutheran
Church. His actions around the hotel
raised doubts in the minds OF the people
there as TO whether he was all that he
represented himself To be. Adolph Fall
bisaner of this city, who was pretty well
acquainted with all of the officers during
the Boer trouble, recognized De Wal as a
man who had lectured at ST. Louis i'm 1902
under the name or De Thompson and had
made considerable money there until it
was discovered that he Was a fraud. Fall
bisaner confronted him with the name of
De Thompson and he admitted that that
was his name but he had been forced 70
change II for political reasons. Yesterday
morning u was discovered that De Wal
had left the hotel and probably the city.
