BLUNDERS GALORE
 IN FAIRFIELD AVE.
 PAVEMENT FARCE
Paving Commission Has Game of Tag Trying to
 Fix Blame

The hoodoo persists! Fairfield ave-
 nue paving work is still held up
 This time several blunders and sew
 eral blunderers are responsible City
 the contractors blundered, and it
 looks as if the. Paving and Sewer
 Commission blundered. As. a result
 the contractors stand a big chance of
 will also lose out in the deal, and it
 is hard telling who else will lose.
 At the recent meeting of the Paw
 tract to pave the street was let to Loftus, Duggan & Gillis, a firm said to exist in New Bedford, Mass The lures. It didn't come back imtned- lately and when it did there were rep resentatives- Of the company with it. It seems that James I. Gi1lis, a re- saw the city's advertisement yJr bid ders on the Fairfield acenue paving work He was acquainted in a busi- He stated to them that he would like to get the contract. They told him to go ahead and bid on it, and if the contract was awarded, the firm would do the work and give him share of the profits.
 Since the bids were advertised for originally it was found by the Paw city engineer had made a serious er- TOT in the blue prints that were sent out for the proposals. These stated that there were 1900 cubic feet of excavating to be done. Instead it sh ouId have read that there were 1900 cubic yards of excavating to be done. Those to whom the blue prints had been sent were subsequently, informed of the error and in time to allow them to make changes in their bids But some how or other the matter got firm was concerned, and when the contract was awarded to them it was found that they would be unable to make any money but would. lose. The bids were signed by Loftus and Dug gan but was submitted by Gi1lis.
 It is customary for contractors to work out the estimates on work as shown by cross sections in the blue prints, and City Engineer Terry makes the claim that the error was one to be readily seen if the blue print had been given the required study. He therefore contends that while he made an error it was up to the contractor to discover it before bidding. CT Commission last night developed into a game of Tag, you're it. The city engineer endeavored to show how up to him; Gillis attempted to show how he was not at fault; the .contrac- tors wouldn't shoulder the blame and lodged all attempts to be made a tar get.
 During the past week there have been conferences between the Mayor and the city auditor, who is secretary of the Paving Commission, and rep of. the New Bedford firm,
 in an effort to ,straighten tho matter out. Finally. after a good deal of talk last night, the Paving Commis- sion decided to award the contract for doing the, excavating to H. T. Clampett of this city at $120 a cubic yard. The contract for doing the paving work went to Loftus, Duggan and GiIIis for Sf.O1 a cubic yard.

This book is designed to prevent | tuberculosis by showing those people who have no trace of the disease how to ward of the attack of consu71ip- ton by living and sleeping in the open air. Failure to get enough fresh air by working and sleeping in poorly ventilated, overcroWded rooms is ono of the most prolific causes of tubeE~ culosis and also of a host Of other in fectious diseases This free sifr cE nature is probably the worlds best medicine not only in the treatment but also in the prevention Of disease.
 Our new handbook on this su1- ject tells how anyone can obtain fresh air in the home, the shop, or tho schoolroom at a cost ranging any where from S1.OO to s1,OOO or more. accoseing to the e1aborateness of tho equipment desired"
 While we cannot afford to digtri- bute the book itself free of charge. we will send to anyone an Illustrated synopsis or summary of it. entitled 'tDirectious for Living and Sleeping in the Open Air on request at our o1- fee, 105 East 22nd Street, New York City.

WE SUFFER FROM
 LACK OF FRESH AIR.

"Probab1y not more than one per son in every hundred, taking the country as a whole, gets enough fresh air to ward off the ordinary attacks of dangerous infections and contas- ious diseases" says pr. Livingston Farrand, Executive Secretary of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in a statement issued today from the as- sociation's headquarters in New York.
 People, continues Dr. Farrnnd, fail to get enough fresh air either because their lungs, or other respfra- tory organs are affected, or, moro generally, simply because they do not open the windows and doors For the former class a physician is needed. but for the latter. plain dircc tions on how to live, work, play and sleep in the open aid will do moro than hos pitaIs and drugs.
 ITO meet the need of this latter group,-not especially those who are sick but those who are seemingly well, the National Association has pre- pared 2 handbook on Fresh Air and How to Use It." written by our eX pert pr. Thomas Specs Darlington.
