When Superintendent Barrowman and
his party entered the mine an hour af-
ter the explosion they gained some dig
lance within the main opening before
they signalled the engineer to stop.
Those outside waited for further sig
nails, but none came. Hours passed,
and not sign or whisper came from
the superintendent and his companions,
and IT is believed they were caught In a
storm OF heated air and suffooated. BY

and paid him $4,000 outright for his
plans, and . per cent for supervision
of construction.
Up to this time 1T has paid him about
$4,000 or $4,000 in commissions on
his work.
The plan seemed to have been def
nitely ADOPTED to invite outside ex-
perts to submit plans and leave the
engineers office TO pass on them and
supervise construction, except in the
case of sewers, the present S1,000,000
system now being installed having
been desibned by Mr.. Boiling on ..e
basis of the Hankins survey of the
annexed territory. When it was pro-
posed to erect a new bridge over James
River there was great division In the
Council as to whether the plans should
be prepared in the engineers office, or
whether an outside bridge engineer
should be invited to draw them. Mr..
Boiling said that he could do the work
but that there were perhaps fifty
men in America who We're recognized
bridge experts who could probably
produce better designs.
No Competition I'm Bids.
The committee adopted the plan oil
inviting from one engineering firm
plans, specifications and bids, as it has
recently done IN the matter OIL pulld-
ing a new wharf. While this brings
competition in plans, there is no COM
petition in bids, as there is but one bid
on each design-that of the firm pro-
posing 1t. There is also the difficulty
in making the award. as in the case of
the wharf, where the lowest bid was
not thought to be on the best designs
for the wharf the city wanted. So the
lowest bid on the new bridge may be
on plans that are not desirable.
The investigators have discussed
these matters informally, and Will en-
deavor to indicate what is to be eX-
pected OF the engineers office in tho
way of designs for new work, and
whore the city should go outside for
talent.
That the committee Will recommend
a general change in the duties of the
assistant engineers is a foregone con-
clusion, while one man. either an as
sistant engineer or clerk, will be as

in a way to-day to be coming to a

asking Judge Casset, of the Corpora

This is on the ground that the Council

The petitioners do not recognize the
