Special Cartoonist for the Evening Star.
On the Sd of March, in the present
year of our Lord. a very imposing
delegat ton of Missourians were seated
in Washington bound train en-
route to the Inauguration
The delegation was headed by eX-
Governor Francis and contained nu-
merous other nota bles of the Show
Me" State The trip was enlivened
by well-nigh unbroken discussion
as to what recognition Missouri would
get in the form of a cabinet position,
and much debate was INDUCED in
concerning the probable identity of
the appointee.
David Franklin Houston was a
quiet member of the party and didn't
seem to take much interest in the de-
bate. There was a reason for his tran
quill indifference-he had the appoint
ment in his pocket all the time and
three days later took the oath of
office as secretary of agriculture.
He was born in Monroe Union
county, n. c., in 1866. After winning
distinction in several universities he

WAFER DEPT. GETS
4 NEW EMPLOYEES
Jobs Are Only Temporary,
Though, and Die When Pres
emit Work Is Done.

Four new employees were added to
the roll of the water department by
the Board of Works yesterday after

are only temporary and only hold
good until the present work in hand
is completed. There is at present a
rush of work in the laying of water
mains in Broad street and the extern
sion of the high pressure system. and
the new men, one foreman and three
assistants, will oversee the work of
gang of fifty new laborers who are to

1t was decided by the board to ex-
tend the high pressure system

theatre is now in the course of con-
struction.

APPEALS $1,000
GARBAGE FINE.
Marrone Says Notice to MuIct
Him $500 Day Wasn't
Served Betimes.

Carrying into effect its threat of
several weeks ago. the Board of
Works fined Joseph Marrone, city
scavenger, So, 700, This amount was
deducted from the March payment
and represents penalty of 5000 a
day from March 20 to 81, with two
Sundays excluded. The penalty is
still in force and Marrone is liable
for the same amount each day he
fails to carry out his contract to the
satisfaction of the board
Marrone. however. contests tire ac-
ton of the board and will appeal to
the courts for redress. He gave no
tice of appeal through his action in
refusing to accept the payment with
the fine deducted
Marrone however, contests the ac-
action on March 20 in imposing
the penalty was irregular, inasmuch
as he received no notice of their in
tention. No penalties could be exacted,
he says, prior to Monday last, when
formal notice was given by the
board.
In an effort to forestall action by
the board Marrone had several of his
men, who were also employed by the
previous contractor on hand TO tes-
tify that the work is now being done
in a more satisfactory manner than
ever before. T. c. Adamson, formerly

PAVING CONTRACT
PLANS ARE READY
Specifications Will Probably Be
Taken Up by Works Board
Next Week.

forth pt in few minor details the
speeiheatiens for the Broad street
wood-block paving contract are in
shape for adoption and will probably
be taken up by the Board of Works
next week
Further details with regard to their
drawing were decided upon by the
board yesterday afternoon. 1t is
now planned to have them so worded
that they will permit of alternative
>fdds.
before making the final contract
award the board will consider two
plans, the first having the city pur-
chase the blocks and simply let out
contract for the actual work of
laying them in place, and another of
having the contractor furnish the
block, as well as lay it. The former
plan is suggested by Commissioner
Gi1len, who declared that other cities
have met with considerable success in
following dfit this plan.
THE Broad street merchants have
gone on record as favoring this
scheme, but Moses Plaut, as presi-
dent declared to the board yesterday
that the association would rescind its
action if in the judgment of the COM
nissioners this was not a feasible
plan He said that the merchants
simply wanted the best pavement
that can be laid under approved
methods.
It was finally determined, on motion
of Commissioners Kraemer to refer
the matter to Chief Engineer Sherrerd
for report Mr.. Sherrerd was also
instructed to communicate with cities
who have tried out the plan of pur-
chasing pavement material, with a
view of determining If the plan can
be worked successfully here.
1t is likely that the specifications
will be laid over until this report is
secured. 1t is likely also that the
Public Service will be asked to lay
grouted granite blocks between the
trolley rails so as to provide an ave-
nue. for traffic in case the blocks are
found to be slippery on certain days.
The question of tearing UP the btu
jxet streets and continuing the wood
block pavement across the latter
thoroughfare was also referred to
Mr.. Sherrerd for report. Mr.. Plaut
in bringing this mater up declared
that Broad street should be consid-
cred the principal thoroughfare, and
MS such its pavement should be con
tinued without stop or intermission
from the northern to the southern
points.
Before the actual work Of paving
is' begun, however, the line of Broad
street will be Strengthened out to
some extent. At the present time.
Military Park encroaches on Broad
street to the extent of forty-two feet
at the apex. If the actual street line
was carried out the approach and
pillars of Trinity Church would be
Topped off.
Under the plan as suggested by Mr..
Sherrerd, seventeen feet will be cut
of the southern apex of the park.
This will taper down to about two
feet at Trinity Church. Before this
plan Is finally acted upon, however,
q conference viii be held with the
Shade Tree Commission.

that on Monday the board at a spe-
cial meeting had passed resolution
formally notifying Marrone that ne
was not living up to his contract, he
eontended that If any fine is imposed
it cannot be dated prior to this day.
The commissioners. however, held
that the contractor had had sufficient
notice of intention. While admitting
that conditions at present were better
than week ago, all held that they
were not as they should be.
On motion of Commissioner Gillen
it was decided to place display adj
