work was very forcibly shown last week
The foreman on the work of building the
new road on Madison avenue began laying
stone when Howard E. Alcott, who is
acting as inspector, objected, stating that
work was not to be commenced until the
approval of the engineer had been given
to the grading. The foreman said this
had been done. Mr.. Alcott sought the
engineer, and found the statement of the
| foreman to be untrue. Going back to the
work he soon convinced the latter that he
was wrong. and then the inspector noticed
that only four inches of stone were being
laid while the specifications called for
eight inches. The foreman said he did

called down on that proposition and was
told that specifications went ahead of ex-

work on that idea he might as well quit
The foreman finally saw the force of the
argument and the work went ahead ac-
cording to plans.
