report and make use of its privilege

ought to be dismissed and that an

He declared that his bid was regu-

made in the printed specifications. and
added that no one had right to state
what he should pay for lumber or how
much he should use.
Chairman Anderson retorted that the
board was thoroughly satisfied with
the work of City Engineer Hamlin
and with his recommendation.

Working day and night the city will
undertake to complete the uncom-
pleted section Of the outfall sewer by
day labor.
Such was the decision OF the board
of public works yesterday after reject
ing all bids for the work.
e. c. Alsop and Col e. r. Fox, two
of the bidders, were present when the
board session commenced, while the
Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf company,
the third bidder, apparently was not
represented.
The report of City Engineer Homer
Hamlin turned the scales in favor of
rejecting all bids when figures were
presented, showing that the city would
be the gamer by doing it's own sewer
building.
HamIin's Report
The report was as follows:
Referring to bids on November 19.
1906, for the construction of portion
of section No. of the outfall sewer,
l have the honor to report as follows:
THE bid of Il. r. Fox is apparently
irregular in that he requires $50 per
thousands to be paid by the city for all
timber left in the tunnel, whereas the
specifications of the proposed contract
and the other bids call for only $3.50
FER thousand to be paid for such tim
ber.
owing to this variation in the bids
the only way in which they can be
compared is upon the basis that all
the timber used in the construction
will be left in the tunnel and paid for
by the city.
There will probably be 100000 feet
of timber used in constructing this
portion of the sewer.
The table below shows the amount
of the bids on the basis referred to:

"COUSlN" GRAFT OF JAPS.

Secret Service System Among yell
low Servants Amazing.
The hundreds of japanese who are
doing their best to solve the servant
problem for the American cities, just
as they have solved it for the people
Of the Pacific coast, form one Of the
most compact and dependable bureaus
Of general information that any city
has ever seen.
BY virtue of what is known as the
cousin system" these japanese house
boys, cooks and Wallets know absolute,
ly everything that there is to be known
about the working conditions in houses
where not they, but other Japanese,
who naturally might be expected to be
their rivals in business, are employed
They know to the minute when any
other japanese is to leave his position
and they know all about the habits Of
the household in which this Jap has
been employed.
Servants of no other nationality ever
kept such close tab on affairs. This
solicitude on their part to accumulate
all possible knowledge about every
thing is never known to their employ
ers until it becomes necessary for the
Japanese own purposes to reveal the
same.
For instance, there is a broker who
for three years has had as general fac
t0tum in his bachelor establishment an
intelligent japanese. This little yellow
man has been getting 500 month, ali
his employers old clothing, and other
perquisites. The itch Cor culture at
lacking the japanese, nothing would do
but that he must 60 to the university.
He would resign his place, he said, II
his employer would agree to engage in
his stead his cousin. The first cousin
proving unsatisfactory, exactly four
teen more were submitted for inspec.
ton. The fourteenth having proved
worse than the first, the original serv-
ant was steered from his higher
thought idea and lured back to pressing
clothes and setting bachelor table.
During the experience with the A.
teen the broker learned what everybody
on the Pacific coast has known for
years-that among the japanese serv-
ants there exists an organized and won
derfully effective secret service, and
that the cousins, who are no mora
cousins than they are deadly enemies,
are responsible for the dissemination
Of much knowledge about their en-
ployers. But they don't break their
trust either with him or themselves,
even if they are long on the distribu-
ton Of news that is useful to their
craft

mum in a very few years." Frightened
at the Incredulity expressed on the
faces of those who heard this wild
prophecy, he hastily added, "at least
eventually" Nine years later, In 1914,
only forty-four miles Of road were in
operation, from which was received in
that year the munificent income Of $46,-
1854 from passengers and $79,S41.6 60
for freight. The cost Of operation anG
repairs was but $66, 945. The only other
great railways then were the Baltimore
and Ohio and the road between Moscow
and st. Petersburg.
From that time on the road grew
slowly enough. like all the other new
roads. But, unlike them, it could not
combine with other local railroads.
Early construction in this country was
almost precisely like the development
Of electric street railways during the
last decade. First were lot Of little
railroads between cities. Then came
connecting links, and finally an amalga-
nation Of many roads into trunk line.
Or this procedure the New York Cen
trail is the best example. 1t was made
out Of a chain Of ramshackle local
roads Of different gauges. The Erie it.
self was forced to lease two roads con-

The ceremonies at the Erie's compile
ton in 1851 were attended by President
Fillmore and four members of his cab
met, including his Secretary Of State,
Daniel Webster. Two palatial special
trains conducted the guests to Dun
kirk-with some difficulty, 1t is true,
as one engine, although monster ca
pable of pulling forty tons, gave out
early In the trip. But Elmira was
reached in ten hours, and on tho second
day the remainder Of the forty-six
miles was covered in seven hours. This

glorious in its triumph than Austerlitz
or Waterloo. Another declared that

What Beginnings Of Railroads in

The monument dedicated at Deposit,
N. Y, Nov. 10, in commemoration Of
the SEVENTEEN anniversary Of the begin
ming Of work on the Erie, marks an
important date in American railroad
ing, says the New York Evening Post.
Few, If any, roads have passed through
such vicissitudes as fell to the lot of
the Erie from its very inception; none
has been more typical in its construc-
ton, and certainly none has been more
often or more ruthlessly plundered bv
conscienceless financial managers. The
first passenger train with a locomotive
had been put In actual service in South
Carolina on Jan. Is, 1881. Two and
one half years later the New York and
Erie Company was organized, upon tho
assurance that the desired road would
cost only $3,OO0,O9O AS a hint Of the
lawlessness to come, the Organizers vic.

said quietly enough: "You have touched

to hear what there is to tell. My baby
was born a weakly little thing. l had
hard work to keep body and soul together

attentively while she answered.:
