Says Engineers Will Present

to air the matter to sthe~eatisfaction
of those interested, Charles r. Forbes,
chairman, has called d. meeting 0f the
board tomorrow night in the Capitol
at 1880 o'clock.s l
This is Forbes answer to the ae:
cusations made yesterday afternoon in
meeting by Ed Lord, president of the
Lord Young Engineering Company
contractors, that the plans he had
drawn were faulty-a thing which
caused a near-fight at the meeting.
Today engineers of the public
works department worked throughout
the forenoon on the new piers, taking
measurements and running lines.
Forbes said following their inspection
that they will submit their state
ments regarding the piers, sworn to
before a notary.

tigation from outside engineers" safe

suit Of the trouble they had With our

II is understood that engineers to-
day found Pier 3 out oksline by one

the two men yesterday when the sub
ject came up at the meeting, Lord hay
ing declared that the plans should be
changed to save a big future loss to

Carthy today stood staunehly BY the
suggestion that he made yesterday
for an investigation by outside people.
He said he believes this: the right at
titude and fair TO both parties.
