DAILY HEALTH DRINK

To drink or not to drink with meals

REPORT OF CIVIC
LEAGUE IS FILED
inspection Bureau Tells of Good
Work Accomplished in
Public Contracts
Many Cisterns and New Sew
ers Are Being C0n-
structed

The inspection bureau of the civic
league has rendered a report for the
month of December. 1908, outlining the
status of the bond issue funds and tell
ing of the work now under way. The
report states that II fire protection els
terms are now under construction.
Speaking of the activities OF the bu-
reau, Winfield S. Williams, chairman
of the committee in charge. says:
"A large portion of the work now
under way, namely, sewers and fire
cisterns. is of such nature that the
daily operations are rapidly covered up,
requiring the closest vigilance to pre-
vent improper and negligent construc-
ton. Several cases of slovenly work
manship have been detected, and in
other instances improper materials have
been rejected by the board of public
works at the request of the bureau.
The members of the board have recog-
nized the reports of the bureau as of
value in bringing them in close con-
tact with public contracts now under
way and have evinced a disposition to
aid and assist in the rigid enforcement
of the specifications"
In conclusion the report refers to the
faulty construction work on the How
ard street sewer. which was corrected
through the activity of the bureau.

BRODFRlCk RESIGNS
AS SUPERINTENDENT
Will Retire as Head of Street
Repairs Because of Strife
With Works Board
Says Civil Service Business Is
Taking Away All His
Good Men

Patrick Broderick resigned the post
of superintendent of street repair in
the board of works yesterday, and al
though the newly elected president,
Charles A. Day, had the matter put over
one week, it is probable that nobody
will try to stop Broderick's departure.
Recently Commissioners Day and
Eagan had to back down after remov-
ing some of Broderick's men, and at the
following meeting formally reinstate
the discharged workmen, and the Incl
dent has not served to improve rela-
tions between superintendent and
board.
NO, 1 did not resign because I was
miffed at not being made commits
sioner,'' said Broderick yesterday.
some of my friends wanted me to get
in that fight, but not being named will
save me a whole lot of trouble.
"The reason l have given up the post
is this: This civil service business is
taking away the last good men l have.
You cant get results that are satisfac-
tory to yourself with the sort of men
the civil service sends you, and conse-
ouently the results, in the long run, VIII
not be satisfactory 10 the people l
will stay on the JoD tlll my SuCCesSoA
is found. and then 1 shall be very glad
to turn over things to him."
The board directed the secretary to
advertise for bids for the construction
OF the southerly portion of the east
potrero intercepting sewer to be opened

gineer was directed 10 furnish the COM
missioners with an estimate of the
present value Of the space occupied by
the bunkers on square foot basis, and
the secretary was asked to find out
something about the charges a other

while. R l.. Chandler's subletting of
his bunkers was given official sanction
and the secretary was directed TO ask

so that the state may rent this now un-
used structure 10 another tenant.
The commissioners took up the claim
for $lS9.15 against the American -Ha-
waiian steamship company for dana sc
done TO state property by the steamer
