z PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR BlLTZ ,,alized he would look like checker 1 board.
 I been his own boss, and who is no ] used to the feeling of the bit, espec. I ifaIly when it is pulled by unsympa- lthetfc hands, he was not present a, }the meeting, and President Rogers in lcufred why? Notice of the meetings fof the scommisison will be sent to the fdirector and he will be expected to be Ion hand .Cty Engineer McKenna was ipresent, al 1ough he had not receiv- led notice.
 Biltz was blamed for the delay in ters aiiered that he has bungled on tGoIden Hill street Commissioner lLasher damned him by inference when the question of the disposition l of the dirt that will be removed from lSouth Main street was taken up. Ii that the dirt is to be given Ito the Locomobile Company of Amer t1ca. It also appeared that the city is buying material of the Bridgeport llGaIIeab1e Iron works at 25 cents the tload to fill in at Seaside Park oppo- tsfte Fayerweather island The South Main street dirt will doubtless be put Ito the same use.
 The permanent paving commission (which was in session at the city hall Ito nearly midnight, last night, is not lxofng to let Director .Biltz build road iWays for the city any longer unless he can prove that he is doing the Iwt1I do 1t for.
 Commissioner, Frederick Atwater testimated the labor cost on the Gold len HiIl street job. of laying the brick lat S4S5 a square yard. Auditor Keat- kinx who Is clerk of the board, thought lthere had been some mistake in the ldsuring in of the cost of the sand jand cement. Then MT. Atwater fig kterfals and he said that he could not {xet the figures down then to less than &3-75 square yard
 4aThe price ought to be about $2.75 a square yard" said Mayor Lee. ssWen we ought to know where we are at before we started to lay the Permanent pavement in South Main fatreet"
 cost of the work was made high by Ithe fact that MT. Biltz was carting tdIrt from Golden Hill street to fill for tfhe Arctic street culvert- He thought }Mr. Biltz could adjust the figures so that it would come out all right
 President Rogers asked if MT. Biltz
 had been under the tutelege of the >auditor long enough to know how to figure.
 adept at figures, this is not a. case of figuring but simply clear case of bookkeeping,'' replied the auditor.
 s.It costs too much money to cart dirt from this side of the city to fill in Pembroke lake. Even if the cost of carting was divided it is not fair to charge the permanent pavement ac- count with the loss in the cost of labor that comes from the men stand ing around waiting for the carts to come There is always this long wait when the carts are making a long shaufs said President Rogers. Senator Brown asked the other members of the board if they thought that MT Biltz was going to be able fo do the work in South Main street The mayor and the members of the commission were of the opinion that 7dr Biltz had been trying to do too much.
 Senator Brown said that what he was driving at was to know if the commission thought that MT. Biltz could do all of the outside work he had on his hands and still do South Main street
 President Rogers replied: This com mir1fon is not satisfied with the way 46Iden Hill street work has progress o< x Middle street has been closed 80 d0v1 No street should be closed un- |<H fhe material is on the ground.
