10 call the attention of the chairman
and the committee TO the very unsasis-
factory condition of the work being done
at the settling basin by the contractors,
Messrs. Winston and Company.

contractors. and he declares that at the
slow rate OF progress now being made by
them 1t will take 2i9 working days to
complete the work. the completion OF

or before April /, 1895. The contract I'M
poses a penalty of $50 per day on the

date upon which the work was agreed TO
be completed.

letter that the city being put to an eA-
pense of $50 per month, on account. of the
employment OF engineers and inspectors
to look after the work as 1t progresses.
..However," says he .'the daily penalty
of so is ample to protect the city. pro-
yided the committee will enforce It."
The committee discussed the situation
Mt some length. but deferred action TO a
future called meeting. when the contrac-
tors can be present and when the com
mittee can have the benefit of the opin-
ion of the city attorney on certain
clauses in the contract. and the benefit
OF his advice in the whole matter.

Mr.. WEST 'SCHARGE
MERELY HEARSAY.
Such is Conclusion Of Board of
Police Commissioners After
Investigation.
HELD BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
Anti-Saloon League Field secre-
tary and Other Witnesses
Rigidly Examined.

The Board of Police Commissioners held
q meeting behind closed doors last even
ing TO investigate the sensational charges
made by Rev. j. w. West, field secretary
of the Anti-saloon League, against mem
bers of the police force.
MFR. West preached sermon last Suu-
,lay night in the West End Christian
that certain policemen, one particularly,
whose name had been given him, had
been working a graft" game and were
In the employ of gamblers and whskcy
sellers who paid the officers for immunity
from arrest for violations Of law.
The meeting was an executive one and
no one, especially II a newspaper man.
was allowed to get even q peep at the
proceedings.
Many witnesses were examined by The
board. including Mr.. West and Rev
Thomas Senmes, from whom 1t was
said Mr.. West Obtained the information
upon which he based his charges. 1t
could not be learned Just what these iniIl-
listers or the other witnesses told the
board, but 1t was learned that none Of
the witnesses furnished any, evidence upon
which the board could act, all of Mr.
Vests much talked of information turn
Ing out to be merely rumor, hearsay and
irresponsible talk. Each witness only told
what somebody else had told him he had
heard some other man say he had heard
and finally after two and half hours
sitting the board reached the man VINO
could not remember who told him that
the policemen, the gamblers and the So
cial club men were In oo-partnership &c,
and there the Investigation came to an
end, so far as taking testimony was
concerned.
The board carefully considered the pub
lie utterances OF the Rev. Mr.. West and
after examining ten or dozen witnesses,
reached the conclusion that so far as
the evidence went there was nothing
which would justify action by the board
at this time.
And that closes the investigation for the
present at least.
