HARTMAN DENIES
DELAY IN WORK
Has But One Street Named in
Kick, and Only Lately Sc
cured Information.

Very much aggrieved at criticisms
damages on streets in the West End.
asked last night to be allowed to ex-
plain. Editorial comment made on q
communication from some citizens OF
the county, he thinks. hardly does him
justice.
This comment indicates that he has
in his hands the assessment OF dam,
ages on Car. Street Road. Grove Road
and Roseneath Road This is not borne
out he contends, by the letter OF City
Engineer Boiling. from which the pro-
testing citizens argue that there has
been delay on his part, nor Is 1t oor7
rect.
AS n matter of fact, asserts Mr.. Har-
man, he has but one OF these pieces
of work in his hands-that on Cary
street. He did not. he says. receive
the necessary information from tho
Office of the City Engineer until July
81, less than two weeks ago. and that
the intervening time has been so
short as to make the completion OF
his task impossible
Il must find the ownership OF each
piece of property" he said last night,
"and then locate the owner. The work
cannot be aono by piecemeal. and all
must be found. Then L cannot tell
merely by looking at a street just
what cuts and fills are necessary, but
must have measurements from tho
City Engineer. The detail Is endless.
There has been no delay in this matt

Surgeons to Perform Dangerous

dangerous operations known "a

1t was on August that the seed
was swallowed. At the time and for
several days afterwards no attention
was given the matter. However. about
three days later the seed. which had
iouSeu III the paSSaSe"ay TO the lungs,
began to give trouble. a physician
was called. but his treatment was not
ehective. and IT was decided to take
him TO Petersburg. This was done yes
terday. The physician consulted there
Immediately recognized the critical
condition and brought the boy to
Richmond
He was hurried to the Virginia and
preliminary examination made.
Though nothing definite was agreed
upon, it is understood that it will be
necessary to max an incisien into the
windpipe. If this is found to be ne
cessary. silver tube will have TO be
inserted.
This operation is looked upon as one
of the most difficult and dangerous
ever attempted. Unusual interest has
been aroused in medical circles by the
case.
