ITALYS GIFT TO LINCOLN.
Stone From Serbian Wall Symbolized
Comparison With Servius Tullius.

Comparison With Servius Julius.
One of the greatest compliments
ever paid to Lincoln came too late for
the president to know it. After his
assassination the Italian government
sent to the government of the United
States, as a memorial of its admira-
ton of him, a large block from the
ruins Of the Serbian wall. The re-
mains of that great wall are meager,
indeed, and jealousy guarded and the
fact that the Italian people were will
ing to part with even one stone from
so valuable a treasure testifies to the
esteem in which they held Abraham
Lincoln. But in the sentiment behind
the gift lay the great compliment to
our martyred president.
Servius Tullius, the builder of the
Serbian wall, was the creator of a
work of far more lasting value to his
people, the Serbian constitution. BY
means Of that the first taste of pollti-
cal independence was given to the
plebs, or common people. Only a
fragment now remains of that stu
pendous piece of masonry outh's

DISAPPOINTMENT


Had it not been for the veto of
Mayor O. d. Hunt during the meeting
of the board of city commissioners
Yesterday. q contract for the coustruc-
uOu of "a sanitary sewer i'm Abdo ao-
ditiou would have been awarded TO
Frva a. Son As il is, the work now
viii bc held up until next TUESDAY
when the mayor said ne probably
would be ready to sign the document
and possibly longer.
Mayor Hunt made no further eX-
plauation of his action than state
meut that he was not convinced the
contract could be legally awarded
under existing circumstances. The dc-
tion caused great disappointment TO
property owners i'm the addition, all OF
whom are anxious to have improve
mcnt made at the earliest possible
date, as it is badly needed
a petition signed by owners OF
3,7OO feet Of property along the route
of the intended sewer was presented
TO the board. 1t urged that the con
tract be awarded to Frye Il Son,
whose bid was S2l19 lower than the
engineers estimate, and $lSOO less
than the only competitor.
Disappointing Sequel.
In consideration OF lhe TACT lutl
some time ago the commissioners had
about been convinced that the Frye
bid for this work had been tampcred
with after leaving the board, the out
come of yesterdays proceedings was
disappointing to practically everyone
concerned The building Of this sewer
is one of the citys most urgent inn
prOvCments.
Members of the Frye firm were sue
cessful i'm their efforts to convince the
board of commissioners that figures
had been changed or blOtted in such
a manner as to leave them no alterna-
tive from turning the bid down be
cause of its Irregularities, and it was
thought certain when the matter
again came up yesterday it would be
fayOrably acted upon.
Without the signature of the mayor
is forthcoming next Tuesday, it is i'm
probable that the sewer will be built
before next summer.
