Subway Builder Tells How He Brought
Surety Men to Time.
I'm order to qualify for the subway
contract l had to furnish a bond OF
$4,000, OOO," said John b. Mcdonald.
Il hadn't $6,OOO,OOO, of course, but
number of surety companies had peen
very kind to me and had talked the
matter over, and 1t was understood
that they had sufficient confidence In
me to furnish the required bond. But
just then the newspapers began TO
print alarmist articles. They were
sure that there were going to be houses
caving. in and all kinds of disaster.
The public took alarm and the idea
spread like wildfire-an idea of sus-
picion and fear and distrust. L could
feel it in the airI'
And 1 really think he did shudder
this time, and 1 know that his brows
came down over his eyes.
Il could feel it in the air. and L
knew that the panic had affected the
gentlemen of the surety companies.
They had entered into no engagements
with me and made no promises, and
all they had to do was to reconsider
their former attitude.
And so they held a meeting one
day, and that was to settle the mat
ter finally. If they backed out 1t
meant no subway contract for me.
II was sitting in Mr.. Belmont's office
with my mind on that meeting, and l
tell you 1 felt blue. Suddenly 1 got

Where are you going?' asked Mr..
Belmont.
"'I'm going to that meeting said.
"'All right said Mr.. Belmont.
II walked into the meeting, and
there they were, the gentlemen of the
surety companies, sitting around talk
ing and considering very earnestly
They were pleased to see me, and we
had talk, and they asked me a lot OF

kind of questions that-er-musician
or-or architects might ask"
He paid the tribute of a chuckle tC
the learned lore of a pack of surety
men on the points OF subway construc

"Well, after 1 had answered a few
ques Cons, 1 saw that there was only
one thing to be done, so 1 said:

THAT startled them, and right ava,
they began to reassure me of thei
anxiety to furnish the bond.

John II. Jordan is suffering from a
severe cold.
Mrs. Agnes Hobrook returned from
Newport last Saturday.
What was supposed to he a peal of
thunder was distinctly heard by several
of our people last Saturday noon.
Each Month of the present winter has
proved worse than the month preceding
and February is no exception to the
rule. Cold, storm and wind, are the
prevailing order of things. Some of our
roads are rendered impossible by huge
snow drifts, and there having been NO
thaw for long time the snow does not
pack we'll and it is hard shedding even
on our most busy highways. We sin.
cerely hope that March will not prove
still worse.
