there again yesterday morning soon
after his arrival in New York from
New Hampshire, where he enjoyed
comparative freedom for IS months.
Thaw is bouyant and cheerful;
more SO than he was in Canada imme.
diately after his escape from Mattea-
wan. He believes that following his
trial on an accusation of conspiracy.
preferred incidental TO. his escape, he
will be a free man and able to go to
Pennsylvania to pass the remainder
Of his days with his aged mother.
Thaw. found many changes in the
prison regulations. He. could not or
der his luncheon from Delmonico's as
he once did, for. under the present
regulations meals can be ordered
only from the prison caterer. Nor
could he see his mother, Mrs. Mary
C. Thaw, who is stopping at the Man.
haitian hotel. nor his lawyer. The
regulations permit no visitors on
Sunday and a lawyer may see his eli.
ent only on the order of the Commits.

Ny dear Mr.. Hewitt:
You WIFI remember our CONVEX
sation when | called on you dur.
ling recent visit to Punta Gorda
| believe it would be we'll for IRE
to restate and emphasize my state
ment to you regarding the engI-
Ineering and supervision on the
work in the Punta Gorda special
road and bridge district.
There are no great difficulties
to be encountered in prosecuting
the work and it is mainly a ques-
ton OF a competent man doing the
necessary amount of work to COW
er the rather large mileage cover
ed by 5he appropriation. There
are no difficult problems in design
and amy competent man should
handle the work in a reasonable
time without much trouble. The
cost OF the engineering and super
vision would naturally run from
5 per cent to 7 per cent of the cost
OF construction and | believe from
investigation that the lower figure
is the right one in your district.

Enclosed is a letter substantial.

of engineering is out of all pro-
portion to the work in hand. The

OOO,00 bonds, contracted for the
engineering for $4,000 complete ;
compare these figures with the
cost OF our district and you will
see it we are getting 100 cents

cry 100 cents spent.

Mr.. Editor:
The great judge Of human af.

AS one of this mighty body,

Itest of Mr.. Hewitt as appearing in

/ came to Punta GoEda year a.
go, and one Of the strongest evil
dences of growth and prosperity
that was pointed out to me by the

the fact that hard surfaced road

true to his claim, / saw the sur
veyors laying out the way.
A year has passed What has
it wrought.
Mr. Hewitt says $4,000 have
been spent, and still not pick
has been raised.
Our taxes have been about doub-
led. We are groanIng under the
load of ineffecieney, to put it
mildly, in the construction of our
county buildings at Arcadia, and
now Mr.. Hewitt implies that we
are to have another like burden
added.
| cannot think so. | have met,
In a general way, the parties that
have this task in hand and | be-
lieve them to be not only men of
calibre but of unquestioned integ-
rity. Men to whom the interest
of the public can safely be entrust-
ed
Mr.. Hewitt states that some one
of the board holds a position in
connection with this work, with a
salary attached.
In tins he must err, for no coun-
ty attorney could sit still and al
low gross illegalities to exist with
out protest. No member of /
this commission can furnish sup
plies or services or anything which
IN any way could be construed
as for gain. That's common law
the country over.
Again, | say | believe whole
heartedly in the members of this
commission, and believe that as |
have said, not dollar is being di-
'erted from its rightful channel,
and further, that it is being made
