His voice quivering with emotion,
! Mr. Vertrees said
Right or wrong. a cabinet officer
who carries out the policies Of his
chief Is not to he censured before the
nation Do not misunderstood me as
merely insisting that YOU shall deal
with this matter solely because Mr..

was correct. he is fortified and REIN
forced by the opinion of the law Of

Referring tu the Garfield Pinchot

not do to say the president was fooled
in making his decisions, because the
president himself said he had pursued
an independent investigation.
"rhe Cunningham claims arc hon

| toin that it was just as we'll to go
ahead with the paving now, as it would
| mean, if not done, that the contractor
could, it seemed, claim the amount OF
his contract He believed that it was
| impossible to make the sewer system
totally free of leaks, and therefore he
was willing to take the risk of laying
the paving over the sewer. He said
| that he would offer the resolution, and
| if the council voted it through, the
paving would start; if net then some
other steps would have to be taken.
| The council chamber for the next
few minutes was all life. Several al
dermen at the same time were on their
feet, and the engineer, taking excep-
lions to some remarks of Mr.. VIII
liams, sought to defend himself, but
Mr.. Williams said that he had never
| intended any reflection, and it should
not be so construed. Mr.. Thornton,
however, supported his statement that
the sewer was bad by alluding to
sworn affidavits from every plumbing
| firm of consequence in the city. The
| fact that the sewer was bad was never
once denied, and all the aldermen adj
mitted that, but the responsibility was
| the thing sought, and the resolution
was passed.
Alderman Williams then, by unani-
nous consent, offered an ordinance on
first reading, providing for the paving
at the Garden and Palafox street inter-
section.
1t was stated after the meeting that
all evidence having bearing upon the
case had not been taken, but that

NEW PAVING
PLANS To BE
PRESENTED
CITY ENGINEER HAS ALL SPECIFI-
CATIONS ABOUT WRITTEN AND
WILL OFFER THEM TO BOARD
OF WORKS SHORTLY.

Plans for the paving of Palafox and
Tarragona streets are about ready for
pres entation to the board of works,
as the city engineer has the bulky
document almost complete, Informing
the board at the late meeting that his
work would be ready long before the
next meeting of that body. The speci-
fications cover every type of paving
material bid on, including brick, wood
block, macadam, cohble stones, etc,
and every type is covered in the speci-
fications already prepared but the
macadam. the board was informed. To
cover this will be the matter of only a
short time and the engineer was sure
that it would be ready when desired.
The plans contemplate the paving of
the entire length of Tarragona not
now covered by contracts, and all thai
portion of Palafox street from the
north side of Main street to the south
side of Garden street, replacing the
old with new material, and thus giving
to the city for possibly some other
thoroughfare the brick now on PalafoX

pave over the sewer. 1t was stated on
the floor of the council chamber also,
by the city engineer, Mr.. Thornton
(and his view was generally accepted)
that the. seeping would injure the paw
ing just as sure as anything in time.
He could not tell just how long before
the defect would show up, but he said
it would. On the other hand, the brick
paving company had made all ar
rangements to pave that portion of the
street between Chase and Government
and, it was also stated positively, that
the contractor would hold the city re-
sponsible for the cost of this paving
on his contract. There was no money
in the city treasury available for the
immediate reconstruction of the sewer,
as had been proposed by the board of
works, and the city had to make a
move in some direction. The passage
of the resolution was the only way, it
was confessed at present, out of the
very big tangle, and it was passed.
Aldermen Concannon, Rocheblave and
Welsh voted against the resolution.

mayor, the city engineer and the chair
man of the bond trustees, Aldermen

The notice for the meeting was
read, informing the aldermen for what
purpose they had gathered. The clerk
then read a letter in which he trans
mitted from the board of works the
opinion of the city attorney, which had
been addressed to the chairman of
that board, and bearing upon the ques-
ton of responsibility for the sewer de-
feet. The resolution from the board
of works, published herein yesterday,

question at issue.
