The colonel served notice on the Pro
gresslve party candidates that they
must live up to their pledges and that
he will not tolerate the breaking of
promise by one of them. In a four
minute speech at Stamford, Conn, he
| said:
IF any Of our candidates who are
selected fails to live up to any promise
he makes, ! VIII take the stump against
him. We stand for applied honesty of
principles We are going 10 keep faith
with the people"
Don't Wonder at Jssr.
When a member of his audience
ieered this statement, the colonel re-
torted:
Il don't wonder you jeer The old
parties had way Of making promises
md not keeping them. 1t won't be that
way with us.

CHANGES URGED
IN Street WORK
Special Committee Not to Rec
ommend Creation of Office
of Consulting Engineer.

Councils special committee on the
reorganization of the chief of construc-
ton department completed it's report at
a meeting today. 1t will recommend
new system for the department at the
meeting Of council tomorrow afternoon.
A subcommittee composed of c. c.
Mason, S A. Wardlaw and Harvey
Hatcher called on Chief of Construc-
ton r. NJ. Clayton and asked him if he
would accept position as city consult
ing engineer. Captain Clayton said he
would wait to see what sort of consult
ing engineers place council created
and what changes were made in the
chief of construction department. lie
said he would then decide whether to
run for chief of construction or accept
the place of consulting engineer.
In view of that reply, the committee
decided not to recommend that per
manent position Of consulting engineer
be created. DR.. Rudolph Herring is now
consulting engineer to advise as to the
bond issue improvements But mem
bers of council have announced that
this office will be discontinued on Oc-
tober /.
Urge Hancock's Candidacy.
Since the committee decided at its
last meeting to recommend the elimi-
nation of the qualification that a man
shall have had ten years experience as
engineer before being eligible as can
didate before the people for chief of
construction, it was reported today a
movement had been begun by a number
of citizens to get w. A. Hancock. for
mer alderman from the Seventh ward.
to run for chief of construction. Mr..
Hancock is manager of the South River
Brick Company
The committee decided the chief Of
construction should have an assistant
in charge of the details of the office.
an engineer in charge of streets and
an engineer in charge Of sewers. and
that the appointment of these assist
ants should be approved by council and
that council should have the authority
to remove them at any time
The chief of construction now has
four assistants one in charge of streets,
one in charge of sewers, one in charge
of sidewalks and one in charge of street
repairs. The chief of construction has
general supervision over them all and
he has absolute authority as to appoint
ments and removals 1t had already
been decided that the chief of construc-
tion should be under the direction of
council.
Hatcher Still Protests.
Councilman Wardlaw made a sugges-
ton that there should be some one in
the chief of constructions office during
all office hours who could give general
information to the public. He said I'M
less Captain Clayton was in the office
he couldn't get any information about
things. The other members of the com
mittee agreed with him, saying that the
new assistant to the chief of construc-
tior would be the man to meet the pub
lie in the construction office.
councilman Hatcher chairman Of the
council streets committee and who has
protested that there was no general
complaint against Atlanta's streets in
