Work ACCORDING to Law
Improvement Bulletin: The ques-

right Of the city engineer to bid upon
city work, to be performed by day
labor, as a means of restricting bids
Of contractors to reasonable amounts.
Contractors in such competition would
probably not raise very much objec.
ton to the additional bidder, IL the
same restrictions were laid upon the
engineer that are laid upon them. II
mis- bids had to be guaranteed to
come within the figure and to be Sc
cured by bond, as the regular con-
tractors must do, the competition would
not prove so Objectionable.

only by those and their descendants who

when IT was ravaged by the Danes.
Among the knights who held estates
in the palatinate on these warlike condi-
tons was William de Hertburn. the pro-
genitor of the Washingtons. His Norman
name of William would seem to point out
his national descent. and the family long
continued to have Norman names of bap
tism- The surname of De Hertburn was
taken from a village on the palatinate,
which he held of the bishop in knights

burn. on the banks of the Tees.
THE first actual mention we find of the.
family Is in the 'Bolden Book a record
of all the lands appertaining to the do
cese in 1883. In this it is stated that
William de Hertburn had exchanged his
village of Hertburn for the manor and
village OF Washington. likewise I'm the
diocese. paying the bishop a quit rent of
-four pounds and engaging to attend him
with two greyhounds in grand hunts and
to furnish a man-at-arms whenever mill
tary aid was required OF the palatinate.
THE family changed its surname with
the estate and thenceforward assumed
that of De Wessyngton. The condition of
military service attached to it's manor
will be found to have been often exacted,
nor was the service in the grand hunt
idle form. Hunting came next to war in
those days as the occupation of the
nobility and gentry. The clergy engaged
