ENGINEERS ERROR.

Especial to The Times Dispatchl
CHARLOTTE, N. c., June 23.-The city
OF Charlotte, already facing financial
"sltuation," was presented with another
problem this afternoon. thanks to the
error of a civil engineer. When the city
decided to abandon Its present water shed
It employed a. p. Boardman. a civil on
gineer to inspect the new site and esti-
mate the cost OF making 1t permanent
water shed and supply station for the
entire city. The engineer submitted an
estimate Of $4,000 MS the outside limit,
a bond issue for 10000 was voted land
work was begun on the new site. This
afternoon the engineer surprised the water
commissioners by informing them that
it would take s2Go, 900 TO, complete the sta
ton.
There was a stormy scene, the engineer
admitting his error. The work has pro-
gressed to point where Vt is impossible
to turn back and where the additional.
$4,000 is to come from is puzzler, There
is already a heavy bonded Indebtedness,
prohibition has taken away the saloon
revenue, the poll tax has been materially
reduced and the people are not likely to
stand for another bond issue.
