Then the Trouble Begins.

Mr.. Halloran raised the point that
the bOafd was In some measure TeSpOn-
SlDle for the repair work having to be
done owing to the fact that inspectors
from the board had been on the job
and had allowed the Campbell Con
struction company to put in faulty
work.
But 1 take the position that the con-
tractor did not do faulty work" said
Mr.. ROOklidge hOtly directing his re-
marks at City Engineer Kelsey.
If the contractor had followed the
specifications there would have been
no Joints overlapping each other sew
eral inches retOrted Mr.. Kelsey. DO
you call that following the speci1ca-
lions and doing the work right2"
Those specifications were absolute
folly replied Mr.. Rooklidge, 'and if
there Is any faulty work in that wooden
staYe pipe it is the fault of the man
who drew up the specifcauOns-nOt the
contractor"
That reused the city engineer. and
hot words began to fly until Mr.. Halo
ran made the suggestion that this not
a part OF the argument, and stified the
battle Of words. And then the board
proceeded to refuse Moran's bill.
Bids were opened for the auueducts
70 be built at the crossings of West
temple, First West and Second West
streets, on North Temple for the
waters Of City creek. but they were all
rejected and the work will be readver-
used The city engineers estimate for
the work is about $4,000. while the low
est bid for the work last night was
$500. The aqueducts Will be 1872 feet
long, with a bore of five and a half

pose Of opening bids on Sewer Exten-

North Rochester, Mass, Aug. 20.-In
an interview at his quarters here, Major
General Leonard Wood said:
For the purpose of an adequate de-
Tense there ought to be d complete re-
vision of the geographical map of Mas
sachusetts. Readable information is
the first requisite in war. Besides this,
there ought to be more cavalry and a
large signal corps. A signal balloon
would also be Of great service, so that
an accurate and comprehensive view of
the country and of the enemy may be
obtained. In my report I shall make
many recommendations"
Get more cavalry" was the comment
of Major Herbert SlOcum, L. S. A, just
returned from Cuba. THAT is a car
dinal principle" he continued. 'In the
present maneuvers there should have
been from 1900 to 1 800 cavalrymen. In
stead, you had three little troops. Mas
sachusetts, to be placed on a proper
war footing, also needs two more bat
teries of artillery"
