INSPECTION PREVENTS
FAULTY CONSTRUCTION
Civic Leagues Report Shows
Progress of City Work

The inspection bureau of the Civic
league has submitted its report for
the month of February showing the
progress of work under the recent
bond issue. The two fireboats are we'll
under way, but the heavy rains de-
layed the contractors engaged in the
construction of the cisterns for the
auxiliary water system. The follow
ing criticism is made of the work:
Among other matters which have
been important enough to call upon
municipal authorities to correct is the
instance of concrete being placed in
the bottom of one of the fire protec-
tion cisterns without taking the proper
precautions to relieve the excavation
of surplus water. During the night
following the placing of the afore-
through the fresh concrete, washing
out a large proportion OF the cement
and waterproof compound. causing the
portion which remained to be porous
and unfit for the purpose required.
''On another cistern the reinforcing
steel was improperly spaced in the
bottom so that the specified amount
of concrete, as required by plans. could
not have been laid
"In both of the above instances the
contractors were being allowed to pro-
ceed with the work and had 1t not
been for the efficiency of the bureau of
inspection faulty construction would
have resulted. The bureau of engineer
ing of the board of public works or
dered the changes recommended by
the bureau in both cases.
