ness. Mr.. West testified that the city
engineer had made no report TO the
committee about changing the amount
OF the sand base and that. after Tie
matter was brought out before the
council. the engineer admitted before
the committee that he had made
mistake In not reporting the change
in the specifications to the committee
before giving orders TO reduce the
amount of sand base.
G. Y. Alsop. r. r. Ketton and A. H.

given him orders to require only from
two to two and one-half inches OF
sand base under the paving. Mr.
Temple could give no new testimony
in the matter.
MIR. r. T. Pierce. of the firm of Al
SOD & Pierce. was sworn and qualified
as an expert witness on paving. He
had net figured the difference In
cost. but stated that there was no
difference in blowing up four inches
of dirt and two inches of dirt and that
the only difference in the cost would
DEPEND entirely upon the distance the
contractor had TO haul the dirt.
Alderman T. S. Weston. of the tap
ping" committee, and President Z. W.
Robinson. of the board OF aldermen,
took the stand. Mr.. Weston testlhed
as to the quality of the brick used,
stating that il was good. President
Robinson said that he had introduced
the resolution asking the mayor to IN
vestigate because he thought the mat
ter ought to be disposed OF one way
or the other.
During the day several witnesses
were put on the stand to testify as
to the quality of the brick and the
manner in which 1t had been laid. All
stated that the brick was of the best
and members of the tapping COM

Figures prepared by an actuary

salary Of 500 today is getting
only what he got out Of life at
$50. 90 a month twelve years ago.
The necessaries Of life are Z per
cent. higher than they were in
1907 and Is per cent. higher than
they were in 1896. The greatest
increase in prices have been
made on the actual necessaries
of life, such as wheat, corn,
beeves, hogs, lard, butter, eggs.

The beneficiary of these high

it's already rich and adding to its

Its total wealth is now Sc. 600, 900 great

through the utilization of wealth ere
ating resources unmatched by any
other equal area known to man.

verse conditions and has become
independent and prosperous re
