PAVING PLANS Will Approve hew Specifications Against the Protest of City Engineer Rosewater. Mayor Moore will sign the paving apeel fictions approved by the council and sub mltted by the majority members of the Board of Public Works.-He will do this because he considers it the only way to get any specifications at all for paving this year. Speaking of the specifications, the mayor said: ..... . "If I reject these It Is Impossible to tell when we will get others approved by the council In view of the friction in the Board of Public Works. Several councllmen who voted for them have changed their attitude and urged me to veto them, it seems to me that this is the only way to get the path cleared for any paving rt all this year and I feel In duty bound to sign the resolution of approval. Brick block Is ad mitted, despite assertions to the contrary. While the specifications are not all that might be desired, they are not altogether bad. At least they will give us paving that la badly needed." City Engineer Rosewater Wednesday sent a protest to the mayor against the spec I flcatlons. In giving hi reasons Mr. Rose- water said: "The engineer is practically eliminated from the use of professional knowledge In any respect In these specification and all expert determinations are reserved by the two majority members. Instead of allow ing tho engineer, or the chairman,' to take samples daily for testing purposes from the. material actually delivered and used for asphalt pavements they provide that he must take sample furnished by the contractor." In .concluding hi letter Mr. Rosewater ays: .. .. "If you desire to eliminate the engineer as an expert from public work and make him simply a stake driver it Is your priv ilege to do so, and thus relieve him of the responsibility to exercise authority aimed to be given him by the charter; but I want you to do It with your eyes open. If you want to sit down on a public officer for trying to protect the city and place a laurel leaf upon1 those whom the council itself, after Investigation, condemned, that Is; also the privilege of yourself and council, and I will rest with the consciousness of hay. rng done what Is in my power to promote public Interests rather than to play the subservient tool of combination that have been operating for the past1 year to have specifications made - in their especial in terest."
