COMMISSIONER SlADE
REPLIES TO Mr.. DUNN

AT the meeting OF the PAYERS and
Founders union last night Alderman
John c. Dunn was the chief speaker. and
called attention 10 the last meeting OF
the board OF aldermen, when Alderman
Reynolds presented a resolution to pay 81
per day for inspectors In the public works
department
Mr.. Dunn said he opposed the resolu-
tion. as he did not think IL was granting
equal rights To city employees. and further
declared that some OF the inspectors were
Brown students who did not know any
more about road inspecting than many
children.
Discussing Mr.. Dunns remarks today,
Commissioners Slade said:
These inspectors do not inspect high
ways. as one would infer from the alder
mans speech, nor are they Brown stu
dents. They are capable engineers OF
long experiences and l believe that even
81 a day is less than they deserve. There
are only three inspectors. and they work
as many hours day as the laborers.
"One OF them had charge OF construct
ing the tunnel under the river. which was
done by hydraulic pressure and was very
difficult work, and also charge Of con-
structing the tunnel I'm the sewer under
Branch avenue Another had charge OF
the work Of building the trunk sewer In
the quicksand on Aliens avenue; and the
other Inspector directed the work OF build
ing the walls and piers along the Woonas-
quatucket river and also the piers al the
Point street bridge
These men DO not have work the en-
tire season. They start I'm the spring and
continue until the fall; and they are hav-
ing more work this fall than usual"

WARM FIGHTS EXPECTED
ALL CITY WARDS

The ward fights in this city are now
well under way.
In the First ward the Republicans
have not yet decided who shall be
named TO succeed the late Alderman
stephen A. Cook; and in the Second
ward Alderman Barney is expecting a
denomination. The belief Is strong,
however, that two reformers viii rep
resent both of these wards IN the next
board OF aldermen.
In the Tenth ward there Is a thre g
cornered fight almost In sight. The
McMann faction having used and then
betrayed Thomas f. West, is likely to
find itself confronted by a coalition Of
all the antagonistic elemeats in the
ward.
Peter c. Cannon is not Candida; o
for alderman, and Is not likely TO be-
he says Mr. West is non-committal at
present, but is expected to decide this
week.
He so informed a delegation repre-
senting several clubs when IL called
upon him yesterday and asked him TO
head a city-couneA- ticket Mr-W es b
wants TO know who are To b. the COM
mon council nominees.
Councilman Daniel Grady also has
been asked TO run for alderman. and
has taken the request under advise
ment.

cation. Henry B. F. Mcfarland, presi-
dent OF the board Of commissioners of

Commander inC Chief Miller RESPONDED
and then submitted to the delegates his
report for the year. He said he was as
sured there was a great awakening Of
interest In the organization. especially in
the south, where many camps are now
being formed. A tentative agreement has
been entered into between Commander
Miller and Commander Walker OF the
Legion Of Spanish War Veterans of
Massachusetts, providing for a consolida-
tion of the two organizations. 1t will
probably be ratified AT this encampment.
The Massachusetts organization has about
1900 members

BILE TO membership in the organization,

appointment OF Moore IL is insisted, as
administrator de bonis non was in viola
tion OF section Of chapter 2l2 OF the gem
eral laws In force at that time.
Among the other reasons are that the
court erred In allowing the bill Of the ad-
ministrator for alleged services and dis
bursement, because they were entirely
unnecessary and entailed needless expense
that the bill should not have been allowed
as there was no evidence before the court
20 prove that any services had been rem

Another reason is that the court failed

Stillman OF his right 20 examine the ad-
ministrator IL is contended that the |
court erred in allowing any compensa-
ton whatever for services because they
