r. Forbes is not to be relied upon. In
expressing this conviction we are not
moved by any personal animus toward
Mr.. Forbes. Because of his abundant
energy, he is undoubtedly fitted to do
good and useful work along some lines
in this or any ether community, but
il is our belief that the design OF en-
cheering works is not the direction in
which Mr.. Forbes talents lie. q. ...
We can see ne legitimate economic
reason why man whose approved
plans and specifications led to the
present deploratle condition of af-
fairs on piers s, and 10, which we
recited in our former report, and who
now admits by his proposed ''deck-slab
anchorage scheme that his former
plans were gravely defective, should
be permitted 4 second opportunity so
recklessly to plan and execute an inn
portant and expensive work.
Finally, TO Mr.. Forbes criticisms
of the estimates Of cost which we sub
mitted with our former report, We con-
slider il unnecessary to make any re-
ply. Our regulations as engineers
stand back of those figures and the
designs to which they apply. We be-
lieye the structures which we planned
would be safe, and, though far from
ideal, to be the best which could rea-
sonabIy be built, considering all the
circumstances. -
