 No Work Done But Gets Bill
 William C. COwlishaW. owner of property al 455 West Main strrct, has had no changes made iu the walks in front of his property and has on past occasions asked the de- pertinent Of public works to show him Whcr" the work was done. A similar requcst was made last night. Willingness 10 pay 1T this is done. was expressed. The bill is $17,G0.
 Oliver l. Davis said no work has been done by city contractors at his Monroe street property ill the 23 years he has lived there and he rc- fused 10 pay $G5 10 the city for work done by the late Matthew Halloran, since, he claimed, h. has already paid HalIoran.
 Because the work Was done before he purchased the property at 82 Winter street, A. L. Eknoian asked to be excused from payment of q bill of Sl9 for sidewalk improvements.
 George G. Gordon asked for an explanation of a bill for laying 92 feet Of sidewalk in front Of 327 West Main street when he has frontage of only 80 feet, and Of this surface only q few flags Were altered. He said two men worked there less than two days and regarded a bill of sec, plus 10 per cent, to be excessive.
 A bill Of $125 sent to George P Hart for sidewalk improvements at 56 Lexington street covered work the reasonable cost of which is not n excess of $25. he complained. The family chauffeur watched the work being done, and reported to MT. Hart that two men placed q few flags in proper alignment. The statement vas for the entire frontage.
 P. J. Hchir made a similar pro- test. Billed for work on his entire Clark street frontage, he said three or four flags had been removed and laid, but not more than s1O worth Of work was done. He was asked to pay s25 in the bill received from city hall.
 When public works department records were read 10 show II hours labor by two men on the Pauline Jahn property on Maple street. B. Jahn, who represented her, answer ed: It's big lie," He said five, six or seven dollars would be enough to pay for realigning a few flags but s2G. 90 was excessive.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Keogh said her sidewalks were repaired in 1925 and q contractor paid, but that MT. Hal loran came up later, saying he was sent by the inspector. lifted few flags and removed some stumps of l trees, and bill of S27.5O followed. i This bill, it was found, was not ap- | proved by the inspector.

DR, CALDWELL made a star O ting discovery shortly after he graduated from medical school back in 1875. He found great numbers - especially older men and women-suffering from con- stipation, who were taking harsh laxatives and purgatives. So he concluded that many things peo- pie take for constipation do more harm than good, and physicians of today are of the same opinion.
 This thought made Dr. Caldwell conduct search, and out of it came the prescription which r made him famous, Over and

City Bills for Sidewalk Work
 Declared Exorbitant; Property
 Owners Protest to Committee
Investigators Told Public Works Department Charged for Improvements Not Installed in Some Cases
 Several Say They Paid Private Contractors

After several property owners had Informed the board Of aldermen last night that they were billed for side walks claimed to have been lail along the entire frontage of their properties when but a few flags had been replaced, and it was learned that these statements carried th" signatures Of former City Engineer Joseph D. Williams and Sidewalk Inspector Walter A. Campbell, the board voted to conduct an inquiry into the causes for these discrepan- cies.
 The aldermen were confronted with contradictory statements by the public works department em- ployes and by the owners of the properties with no apparent means of determining which were correct, all Of the work having been done from four to six years ago.
 Last nights meeting Was the first of a series through which the alder men will cndeavor 10 arrive at q settlement in all dispute accounts, scores Of which are on the citys books.
 Railroad demonstrates
 Representatives of the New Ha- ven railroad objected 10 payment Of a bill of sl9.51 for cement furnish ed In construction of the Ellis street bridge, claiming that the deal made was to be an exchange of materials. A second statement Of s199.21 for repairs at railroad crOss-sections was not paid, it was explained, be- cause the railroad was not ordered to do the work, and would have done so had such an order been ts- sued. Former Engineer Williams will be summoned to the next meet ing 10 straighten out this matter.
 George Biclman of Glen street protested bill Of $17.50 for a sidewalk claimed to have been laid in front of his property. He coull recall no such work having been done, but expressed willingness to pay if he could be shown.
 IldlIllnR that SllcN dIhS Idu DttIi laid by the city's contractor before he had notice which would allow him to do the work himself, and also complaining that the bill of S95 plus 10 per cent was too high, An gelo Berti asked the aldermen to consider further the bill sent to him. The property is on Greenwood Btreet.
 Wants City to Pay
 Isadore Birnbaum refused to pay Tor a concrete driveway entrance placed near the municipal garage on the ground that it is used by the public and it Is unfair to ask him to pay. This bill ordinarily went to the municipal garage commission, but 1t was sent back and rc-mailed 10 Birnbaum, asking him to pay s127.25. IL was decided to look up land records and determine in whose name title to the land is vested. Birnbaum expressed willingness 10 pay $33 assessed against him for work on Winthrop street property.

Dempsey to Fight
3-ROund Exhibition
For Boston Charity

BOSTON, March SACK Demp-
sey, it was announced today, will
take part in a charity boxing card
at the Boston. Garden Friday night.
According to Eddie Mack, pro-
moter, Dempsey will fight three
round exhibition preliminary to the
Joe Dundee-Al MelIo bout. Demp-
sey's opponent was unnamed.
1t was the original plan of Mack
to have the old Manassa mauler be
master of ceremonies at the charity
show, but the Massachusetts boxing
commission refused to sanction such
an arrangement it was said.
Mack said he hoped to sign Demp-
sey during his stay here for about
with Jimmy Maloney, to be held
some time next summer. A report
published here today said that Demp-
Aey had rejected $250,O00 offer to
meet Maloney here next summer
that Jack told Mack at the time of
the Sharkey-St -Stribling fight that If
he did any more fighting, and he
didn't think he would, it would be

Old John has determined to give
the Detroit thing a grapple, because
he regards the automobile city as
rich territory and ripe for any
sporting venture to which Dempsey
may lend his name. He has already
tied up with group that will build
a race track in Detroit as soon
as the anticipated favorable legis-
lative action Is complete.
Dempsey knows something Of
racing from the standpoint of a
stable owner and a player. He
knows little Of the business end. In
Florida he discovered that he nad
plenty to learn about game he
had played for years as a fighter.
However. he got by in Florida by
picking his spots AMI he ought to
do just as we'll in racing.

only flaw is the site of the bouts

Jack McAuliffe, athletic chief at

Manhattan come down here for a

Catholic University intends I'd

New York University as any
protests from the EiOIets would
be inconsistent with their policy
of the past two years when they
gladly engaged Catholic Univer-

and New York II. didn't demur.
