WATCH THE SMOKE.

A. P. Melton was the city engineer OF
Gary for five years. He has had a lot
of experience in municipal engineering.
His standing in his profession is such
that he has been elected a member of
the American Society of Civil Engi-
neers. Probably in his time as engi-
neer in Gary he supervised more i'm
provements than there were carried on
in the five largest cities in Indiana
combined Therefore, it is competent
to assume that Mr.. Melton knows his
business.
Last year Mr.. Melton was engaged
to draw plans for the Ridge road dis
trict sewer. He was paid ten dollars
a day as consulting engineer When
Mr.. Melton's plans were completed
his estimated cost of the proposed
sewer was $685., 900.
Then the contractors announced
that they would not bid on these fig
ures and after some months another
engineer went over the estimated and
