N|GGER IN
THE FENCE

Now We have light on the identity of
Engineer John A. Freeman of Provi-
dence, r. l., whom Mr. Howland has
asked to make a long-range report on
the reservoir specifications:
Freeman, who Is announced as n
world beater as an engineer. is not a
man of any prominence at all In the
matter of dam construction" said the
Advertiser informant. He is certainly
an expert in his line, which is as n
consulting engineer regarding water
pressure and water connections as re-
spects fire fighting systems. His work
is the inspection of buildings and the
reporting on their facilities for fire
lighting to the insurance companies
But his name is not mentioned In con-
nection with any dam of Importance in
the whole United States.
WALKER, WHO PREPARED THE
PLANS FOR THE NUUANU DAM,
WORKS UNDER FREEMAN. He is
with him now and the submitting OF
the plans to Freeman for final decl-
sion is a whitewashing scheme pure
and simple. And, anyhow, the plans
which Walker has are NOT THE
SAME PLANS THAT ARE BEING
USED AT THE DAM. Time and time
again the plans have had to be alter
cd, as conditions were encountered that
were not looked FOR. Inlthe matter Of
the main pipe over which the principa!
discussion has arisen. there have been
no less than five radical changes order
ed. How can Freeman or anyone else
not on the ground make report that
would amount to anything under these
circumstances
Then there is the fact to consider
that the plans as drawn up left about
everything to the final decision OF the
engineer In charge. who Is Mr.. How
land. What does an engineer on the
Atlantic coast know about the decision
that Mr. Rowland has come to In the
multitude OF details left to him? He
can report on what he thinks might
have been done, but not upon what has
been done
"In short, we are 10 go upon the re-
port Of man Who can not possibly
know the conditions upon which he II
reporting"

changes made In the work under con-
struotlon by Mr. Howland. within the

Rand melting of deep SHOWS in the

rise in the Potomac river, and as a
result the plant of the Martinsburg
Electric Co. at the dam was shut
down Wednesday afternoon about 3

and dry aud unable to turn a wheel.
The auxiliary power houss in this city

made, il was discovered that dam
aged fiue prevented The operation OF
the plant. The publication of The
World was DELAYED for several hours
an annoying and exasperating delay
that kept the telephone wires hot
with inquiries. Will the river is mp
about 10 or ~ feet, it is believed the
WAFER will nass off in day or two.
Reports this afternoon from the
dam state that the water is falling
slightly, but there is no definite idea
as to when the plant there can be put
In operation. In the meantime the
plant here will be used.
