only vague ideas as to their great value.

papers to the effect that the city had
agreed to use wood blocks below standard

1.-The only foundation for the statement
is that Dow & Smith. the city's experts.
who are charged with the duty of pass
ing ON the wood blocks, held up nine
carloads of these blocks at Mobile as not
coming squarely up to the speciflca-
tions as to the quality of oil with which
they were to be treated. Dow & Smith
were of the opinion, and stated that
the blocks were probably as serviceable
as they would be If the specifications
were technically complied with, and act
ing on this, the city decided to use the
blocks, but expressly refused to release
the contractor from the obligation to fur
nish blocks up to the specifications.
"They are to he used, and If found
wanting. will be rejected and the contrac-

city will lay the blocks and will then
take such action as may be necessary

parties concerned even to the extent OF

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Criticisms and Falsehoods

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
Criticisms should not be made unless
there be real cause and then who is
profited? Wrong doing and mistakes
certainly need correcting, but is 1T not
best to meet face to face and calmly
and kindly talk matters over, trying to
find remedy, or a compromise? False
hoods always react upon the one who
utters them, and the public soon learns
to place no confidence in what the man
says, and always passing him by with
contempt. People who are always find
ing fault, and condemning this and that
should know that they are not agree
able and pleasant companions, nor de-
sirable company, and If at any time in
life they were reasonable in thought
and lovable in character. they should
try to get back to these admirable
traits and qualities. Constant complain
ing in a community, linked with that
of the violation of law is at all times
hurtful, and it causes strangers hunt
ing new homes and investments to look
in other directions. Is it not a sensible
and gracious thing to have considera-
tion and respect for others? These lines
are only suggestive as pertaining to
our prospective and promising future,
and not in any way a reply to anything
that has been spoken or written.
J. LAWLER DARBY.
