WILL NOT ASK INVESTIGATION
City Council Makes Discovery and
FInds Out some Things Have
Been ForROtten Entirely.

The city council viii not call for an
investigation Of the methods Of keeping
municipal accounts with the critical ex-
animation and exhaustive research OF high
priced experts, but II will so into the rec
ords only IN the guise Of q good Joke on
the members Of the council ana the heads
Of several OF the Departmental. A whole
street of such permanent improvements e.
paving and curling was forgotten entirely
and slipped into obseurity without being
detected.
The discovery was made yesterday that
the contract was let at the meeting Mon
day night for the curbing and paving Of
Twelfth street, between Broadway and
Second avenue when the street was paved
and curbed seventeen years ago. The fire.
qusnt overflow OF Indian creek covered the
paving and curbing with enough good rich
black mud TO hide every trace Of the sx-
pensive improvements. The discovery was
made yesterday when the Lana construo-
ton company set about executing It's con
tract to put in the curbing preparatory for
the paving. When the workmen began to
excavate for the curbinS they uncovered
q section Of first-ciass artificial stone
eurbing. The line was traced the full
length Of the street on the east side.
Similar investigations disclosed the same
condition on the opposite side. The dirt
was shoveisd away from the base Of the
curbing, revealing the old cedar block
paving that was laid by Contractor W.
c. James seventeen years ago me wood
en- blocks were not worn out. but were
thoroughly rottsd away. The curbinG.
however was in first class shape for the
entire distance OF the two blocks II will
but cut out Of the Lana contract. There
has been no search Of the records q the
city engineers offioe and the record Of
this bit OF curling and paving IL undoubt-
eddy there, but for some reason Il aid not
get upon the working charts which are
constantly consulted oy the Engineering
department employees.
