Which B. Dunn Is Bidder.

If Bart Dunn gets the 100000 Cross River
reservoir contract he will owe 1t to Mayor
Mcclellan, and not TO Chief Engineer J. Waldo
Smith of the Aqueduct Commission. Mr.. Smith
at meeting OF the Aqueduct Commission yes
terday recommended that the contract for the
reservoir be given to winston & Co and
Macarthur Brothers New-E England contractors
submitting n joint bid higher by 100000 than
that put in by Tom Dunn's brother
Yesterday the time fixed for awarding the
contract for the new reservoir in the Croton
watershed. Mayor Mcclellan and Controller
Grout attended the meeting. One Of the first
things done the reading OF report from
Chief Engineer Smith It dwet the need
of having the new reservoir built with the
greatest possible measure of promptness. Mr.
Smith said 1t should be ready for by the
end of 1906. He said it the judgment of
the engineers that only the bids OF the firms
whose plants furnished a reasonable assump-
ton that the work would be hurried forward
should be considered by the commission. The
salient thing in Mr.. Smiths report was that
he recommended the acceptance of the joint
bid of the Macarthur Brothers and the Winston
company, who built the Wachusett masonry
dam at Clinton Mass. Mr.. Smith said the
gineers of the commission had examined the
plant of these contractors and it was apparent
that they We're in position to build the

any bid. The engineers were not asked to make

to the Chief Engineer. with instructions to re-
port the probable efficiency of the plants of
all the contractors submitting bids
Controller Grout sustained the Mayor and the
resolution was adopted At first Commissioner
Ten Eyck was in favor of adopting the report
of Mr.. Smith, but when he saw that the Mayor
and the Controller agreed he did not press the
point.
The Mayor suggested that the successful bid
der would nave to furnish a heavy bond

work. and that there no reason why the
city should be squeezed for the extra S156OsO

DR.. Maxwelrs professional examinations were
held last week, and have not served to lessen
the dread with which the academic examination
is regarded.
These examinations included such subjects as
drawing, music, physical training and sewing,
the so-called 'fads and frills' of the system,
and complaints regarding their difficulty have
been many and bitter. It was rumOred that
some of the victims had tainted or become hys-
terical over the papers, but DR.. Hunter said
yesterday that he had heard nothing of this
kind.
There are always many complaints about these
outside examinations he said, but hardly
more this year than usual The students do not
particularly dread examinations set by their
teachers on the precise ground that their studies
have covered, but outside examiner is al
ways liable to ask the very thing that the pupil
has missed. In my opinion, examination
should cover the ground that the pupil has
covered, and I consider that there is nothing
more injurious to the of education than
overexamination. Nevertheless whatever the
law is in regard to examinations I will always
endeavor to execute it,
