Queens, Fosdick Charues,

RAYMOND B. Fosdlcl. Commissioner of
Accounts whose exhaustive study of ad-

for a month or two, says he is soon to have
a talk with Iucien Knapp. superintendent

Commissioner of Public Works at the time
and in February. 1908. took occasion to
order the removal of snow from about five
miles of streets without consulting Mr.
Knapp Mr. Fosdiek is anxious To learn
more about this transaction. among others.
On February and 5. 1908, there was a
snowfall of approximately eleven inches.
At the request of President Bermel the
Board of Estimate appropriated $4,000 for
the removal of this snow from the streets
Of Queens. Mr. Knapp already had spent
about 81 900 in clearing the more congested
points in the borough. considering 1t un-
necessary to put gangs of men and trucks
TO work on the country roads. when
dresser and Bermel called in the Long ISL
and Contracting and Supply Company to
remove the snow.
The contract was made verbally with
Joseph a Boyce. president of the contract
airy G, I, S, and 10 in removing 66.6105
cubic yards of snow from 27,SS0 linear feet
Of roadway. The contract was later con-
flrmed in writing, and bill for about s22,0 600
was sent to Controller Metz.
AS the bill had not been 20. KID" by
Superintendent Knapp the Controller re-
fused TO consider it at all Thereupon the
figures were revised by the contractor. and
Mr.. Knapp was appealed to by Bermel to
20. X" a bill of $17,eS9 Is From the re-
ports of his foremen Mr.. Knapp was able
to ascertain that the amount of snow set
down in the contractors report actually
had been removed from the streets. so he
made brief statement to the Borough
President TO that effect. although we did
not direct the work. he wrote, land had
no knowledge of orders given
The bill as amended, and with Knapp's
report attached. was sent to the Controller.
This time the objection was made that the
law had not been complied with in regard
TO the advertising for bids. Under a sec
ton of the Laws Of 1906, however, an in
formal contract may be considered binding
in case of emergency. So Mr.. Metz further
cut the bill to 4,457, the actual amount of
money expended on laborers and trucks,
and approved its payment. This was finally
authorized by the Board of Estimate on
April :, 1863, more than two years after the
completion of the work

The Espritu Santo Mine

One Of the richest gold
mines known int he eighteenth
century was the Espritu San
to, in the isthmus of Darien,
Panama. 1t is situated on
the plateau OF Cana, about
1000 It. above sea level, at
the head waters of the Euyra
river, on the Pacific slope Of
the range. The gold quartz
vein was first worked in 1850;
the mines were captured and
the village sacked by English
pirates, or gentlemen adven-
tuteis, as they were then
called. f he village was held
by the invaders for soLie time,
bu. they were eventually tore
ed to retreat and work was at
once resumed by the Span
iards and carried on with great
success. A bout 200 miners
were employed underground
day and night. The ore was
passed from hand to hand
along the workings until it
reac ed the bottom of the
shaft, when it was hauled TO
the surface by windlass and
taken to the rver to be crnsh
ed and washed. The miners,
who were free negroes, re-
ceived as wages at the end Of
the week small dish Of crush
ed sold quartz. A consider
able amount Of gold in rich
pockets was stolen. In I727
a great cave took place and
this, coupled with an attack by
the Indians, lead TO the aban-
donment of the mine. Ii was
