COMMISSION PUBLIC WORKS
DR.. Mcintosh Retires- NJ. L.
Spearman Chosen Chairman
Affidavit From DR.. Nc
IntoSh.

THE board of commissioners Of
public works has been reor@aniZed
with the election Of Mr.. NJ. L. Spear
man the new member. as chairman.
Chairman Mcintosh, before retir-
ing. presented the following affidavit:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
Newberry County.
Personally appeared James McIn-
tosh. who being duly sworn says:
That he was member Of the board
of commissioners Of public works for
the town of Newberry, S. c., which
made the water works contract with
Howard Neely, which said contract
covered the building Of resovolr to
cost $4,000. The board, on account
Of the leakage of the resovoN (Which
amounted, according to the estimate
Of Supt. Voss, to ten thousand gal
Ions of water each twenty four hours)
refused to accept said resovoir, af-
ter having Messrs. D. B. Wheeler,
George B. Cromer, ". H. Wallace
and others to examine the same. Mr..
Neely himself, upon an examination
with the commissioners Of public
works. was so impressed with the
faulty condition Of the reservoir.
that he agreed with the commission
ers that the town might use said res.
ervoir without charge until some defl-
mite settlement Was made. between
himself and said commissioners Of
public works.
I voted against receiving the reser-
voir for the following reasons: N
The large blocks Of granite forming
the base and walls Of the reservoir
were laid by hand-spike forcing the
blocks of granite in position, and the
crevice between the blocks Of granite
we're filled in by small blocks OF
granite and mortar. No crane was
used to place the blocks in position
unon a thick bed of mortar.
~ The mortar instead Of consist
ing Of cement and sharp sand thor
oughly mixed, was made Of cement
sand and alluvial soil dug out OF the
surrounding bottom land, and was
not properly mixed, specimen OF
which leave with the said commits
sioners of public works.
