PUNS TO BE
PRESENTED
CITY ENGINEER HAS ALL SPECIFI
CATIONS ABOUT WRITTEN AND
WILL OFFER THEM TO BOARD
OF WORKS SHORTLY.
Plans for the paving of Palafox and
Tarragona streets are about ready for
presentation to the board of works,
as the city engineer has the bulky
document almost complete, informing
the board at the late meeting that his I
work would be ready long before the
next meeting of that body. The speci- j
fications cover every type of paving
material bid on, including brick, wood
block, macadam, cobble stones, etc.,
and every type is covere'd in the speci
fications already prepared ' but the
macadam, the board was informed. To
cover this will be the matter of only a
short time and the engineer was sure
that it would be ready when desired.
The plans contemplate the paving of
the entire length of Tarragona not
now covered by contracts, and all that
portion of Palafox street from the
north side of Main street to the south
side of Garden street, replacing the
old with new material, and thus giving
to the city for possibly some other
thoroughfare the brick now on Palafox
in the stretch named.

unsafe and utterly Impracticable to
pave over the sewer. It was stated on
the floor of the council chamber also,
by the city engineer, Mr. Thornton,
(and his view was generally accepted)
that the seeping would injure the pav
ing just as sure as anything in time.
He could not tell just how long before
the defect would show up, but he said
it would. On the other hand, the brick
paving company had made all ar
rangements to pave that portion of the
street between Chase and Government,
and, it was also stated positively, that
the contractor would hold the city re-
I sponsible for the cost of this paving
ou ais cuuimi. i iiere was no money
in the city treasury available for the
immediate reconstruction of the sewer,
as had been proposed by the board of
works, and the city had to 'make a
move in some direction. The passage
of the resolution was the only way, it
was confessed at present, out of the
very big tangle, and it was passed.
Aldermen Concannon, Rocheblave and
Welsh voted against the resolution.
Those voting for Its passage, after ex
plaining their votes, were: Aldermen
Bear, Kugleman, Moyer, Pfeiffer, Dun
ham and Williams. As the curbing
has been placed in position, and as
the brick paving people are ready to
start immediately on the street paving,
there will be no further delay in the
pavement work.
NO MONEY AVAILABLE.
The meeting was called to order by
President Greenhut, and besides the
mayor, the city engineer and the chair
man of the bond trustees, Aldermen
Bear, Concannon, Dunham, Kugleman,
Moyer Pfeiffer, Rocheblave, Welsh
and Williams were present.
The notice for the meeting was
read, informing the aldermen for what
purpose they had gathered. The clerk
then read a letter in which he trans
mitted from the board of works the
opinion of the city attorney, which had
been . addressed to the chairman of
that board, and bearing upon the ques
tion of responsibility for the sewer de
fect. The resolution from the board
of works, published herein yesterday,
was read, and then the meeting was
declared open for the discussion of the
question at issue.
Alderman Bear, as the acting chair
man of the finance committee, stated
that "as a member of the finance com
mittee, I will say that the proposition

re-laying the sewer is entirely out of
the question at present. The city can
not afford to do it"
"On account of the shortage of
funds?" inquired President Greenhut.
"Yes sir, on that, account," replied
Alderman Bear.
Alderman Concannon stated that,
from the attorney's opinion, tie under
stood that Mr. Jones did not have be
fore him the real facts in the case,
and "I see by the report that he has
left the city and is not attending the
investigation as he should be "
"Judge Maxwell will represent the
city in the city attorney's absence," in
terjected the mayor.
Alderman Moyer, directing his query
to Chairman Bushnell, of the bond
trustees, asked if it jvas not a fact
that at the first meeting the consulting
engineer and the resident engineer did
not state that the paving would be
safe in being placed over the sewer.
"I am not sure that the consulting
engineer said that, but am sure that
the resident engineer, Mr. Rommell,
did say that it would be safe to pave
over the sewer, with the exception,
however, of a space near Chase
street," replied Mr. Bushnell.
"Then it strikes me," responded Al
derman Moyer, "that if we proceed
with the paving, and then if the sewer
did not perform its duty as desired, we
could go back and hold the engineer
responsible. If we have it from him
that the sewer is all right, and if it
does not perform its duties as planned,
certain it is that we can hold him to
account."
"How can we get at Hatton if he is
not even under bond for the con
tract?" asked Alderman Concannon.
"There has been many a man who
was not under bond who was reached
in the matter of a failure ot contract,"
said Alderman Moyer.
Alderman Welsh suggested that any
and all defects now found be repaired,
if the city had not money sufficient to
cover the cost of entire re-laying. He
said that what defects are now known
should be repaired before the paving
was started. Afterwards, the alder
man further suggestedthe question of
responsibility could be arrived at.
"According to the letter of Mr.
Jones," said the president, "no one is
responsible for the condition; neither
Mr. Hatton nor Mr. Storrie."
Mr. Thornton, the city engineer, who
sat at the mayor's desk, was recog
nized by the president, and he said
that it occurred to him it "was an in
sult "to the members of this council
for the engineer, .Mr. Hatton, and his
assistant, to come forward with the
statement and assert that the sewer
was in good condition. Gentlemen, it
don't require an engineer to see the
defects, as the majority of this council
know. It is really a mighty funny
statement coming from them to say
that the sewer is all right. I am not
a lawyer, but I know that that sewer
will give trouble to the pavement. It
might take a long time, and it might
be only a matter of months, but. with
out the concrete base, etc., as sure as
it is left that way, the pavement is
going to show it when it is put down."
President Greenhut asked if it was
not a fact that the old council had ac
cepted it as all right, and the clerk in
formed him that was the truth of the
case.
President Greenhut then suggested
that the mayor could give some more
information on the subject.
COULD DO NOTHING.
Mayor Reilly replied quickly: "No
sir, I have already done all I could as
mayor of the city, and I could not give
any more information. I could not
make any other recommend aUon.
There are only two or three things to
do in the matter. One of them is to
put the pavement over the sewer or
do not pave it at all for the present.
The city has no money to re-lay the
sewer, and the only thing is to leave
it open, I think. It would be a matter
of five blocks, on one side of the
street."
Alderman Kugleman expressed the
opinion that the bond trustees could
hold back part of the money now due
or owing the contractor.
Picking up this line of argument,
Alderman Concannon asked if there
was money due the contractor, and
Mr. Bushnell replied that there was
$3,500 due him, or claimed by Mr. Stor
rie on extras, which the trustees had
admitted. He said, though, that tluxe
would have to be a responsibility fixed

on Mr. Storrie before the money could
be held up.
After more discussion, Alderman
Williams moved that the communica
tion from the board of works be re
ceived and filed. Then he offered a
resolution which was later amended,
providing that "the board of ibond trus
tees be directed to proceed with the
paving of DeVillier street."
Alderman Concannon, again on his
feet, wanted to know who would be
responsible for the cost, the damages,
if not Hatton, Storrie or the bond trus
tees. He said that it was a serious
thing, and that people, not alone on
DeVillier sreet were suffering, but on
other streets were feeling the incon
venience of the defective sewer. e
ALL MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE.
In reply to a question, Mr. Thornton
said that the few joints, with one or
more exceptions, which had been ex
amined had been found defective, but
that there were possibly a nundred
which had not been examined and
which were likely to prove defective,
too. This caused Alderman Roche
blave to assert that he would vote
against the move to pave the street.
"Your idea, then, Mr. Thornton,"
questioned Alderman Bear, "is that it
would be unsafe to pave over the
sewer?"
"Yes, sir, certainly; the joints which
we examined were net all in one place.
Neither did I select them for exam
ination. We picked them at random,
and in fact the work was left to the
foreman. They were not all in one
identical spot, to be sure not," replied
the engineer.
Alderman Williams, speaking in sup
port of his resolution, took the posi-

toin that it was just as-well , to go
ahead with the paving now, as it would
mean, if not done, that the contractor
could, it seemed, claim the amount of
his contract. He believed that It was
impossible to make the 6ewer system
totally free of leaks, and therefore he
was willing to take the risk of laying
the paving over the sewer. He said
that he would offer the resolution, and
if the council voted it through, the
paving would start; if then some
other steps would have to be taken.
The council chamber Tor the next
few minutes was all life. Several al
dermen at the same time were on their
feet, and the engineer, taking excep
tions to some remarks of Mr. Wil
liams, sought to defend himself,, but
Mr. Williams &aid that he had never
intended any reflection, and it shouia
not be so construed. Mr. Thornton,
however, supported his statement that
the sewer was bad by alluding to
sworn affidavits from every plumbing
firm of consequence in the city. The
fact that the sewer was bad was never
once denied, and all the adrermen ad
mitted that, but the responsibility wag
the thing sought, and the resolution
was passed.
Alderman Wiilliams then, by unani
mous consent, offered an ordinance on
first reading, providing lor the paving
at the Garden and Palafox street inter
section. It was stated after the meeting that
all evidence having a bearing upon the
case had not been taken, but that
Judge Maxwell, acting for the city at
torney, would probably continue the
investigation." The city attorney has
been called out of the city on private
business,,
