Ttio Hospital Grading Job.
In July of 18S7 , Hlclmrd O'Kecffo , W. J.
Mount nnd George K. Tltnmo , as commis
sioners , awarded Ilynn & Walsh n contract
to build the now county hospital , their bid
of f 17r > .000 being considerably lower than the
lowest of four or five others. Subsequently ,
by cutting out a proposed superintendent's
residence and two wings , these figures were
reduced to $120,000. Two sites , both situated
on the poor farm , seemed to bo under consid
eration. The ono finally selected is near the
northwest corner und at the top of n hill
overlooking the surrounding country. When
ready to commence worlt It was discovered
tbat seine grading would necessarily have to
bo done. Tbo block of ground occupied , -100
feet square , wns not only very uneven on its
natural surface , but sloping from southwest
to northeast.
About thnt time everybody Interested np-
pcnrcd exceedingly anxious that operations
should begin without further delay , consequently
quently what has since proven an extrava
gant , if not .reckless expenditure ot money ,
wns ordered. This fact was made known
overnl days ago by TUB BUB'S discovery
that Uyan & Walsh , In addition to their
original contract , had been paid 85 cents
per cubic yard for doing this grading ,
work that could hnvo been done , ns everyone
ono , oven the commissioners themselves nd-
init , at a > cents , if not loss.
O'Keoffo and Mount had their attention
called to the mutter. They could not explain
it. O'Kooffo unhesitatingly declared that ho
always understood the agreed prlca to be
25 oanU , aud expressed surprise when con
fronted with several vouchers , nt least two
of which boar his nwn signature , showing
a 85 cent rate. Said he :
"There Is certainly something wrong hero ,
nnd an investigation 1 ? in order. "
Mr. Mount pretended nt llrst to know noth
ing , and evaded all discussion of tbo subject
that ha could.
From a systematic examination into the
records ns well as from inquiries nmong
men in possession of facts , Tin : Bun Is en
abled to present reports showing the true
situation and uncovering a surprising state
of affairs.
First lot It bo understood that when com
pleted nnd ready for occupancy the hospital
will have cost nojrly three times as much as
the original estimate.
This ono item , the grading over which so
much stir is now being made , called for an
outlay of (20,8C3t4. : In exact figures that
Is conceded to bo $5T.r > 9.07 moro than should
have been paid. But no ono attempted to
prevent it.
Wednesday n BEE reporter visited the hos
pital and there saw Ed Walsh , who ex
pressed his willingness to tell all ho know
und did spin a story which , if true , fastens
whatever blame there is in these transac
tions upon the thrco commissioners men
tioned above.
In substance , it is to the effect that ho
wus instructed by them to go ahead and
do any grading that had to bo done nnd they
would allow him schedule rutos. U5 cents a
yard. Ho took the reporter to the very spot
on which they stood whoa this verbal agree
ment was entered into , und continuing his
explanation , said :
"This spot ( northeast corner of the build
ing ) wus whore wo commenced. Standing
here you will observe that to the naked eye
ono would hardly imagine that very much
grading was required. In that respect wo
were all deceived. The slope was greater
than wo calculated , consequently the ex
cavation reached n depth of from ten to six
teen feet along the west side.
"While talking about dolntr this work ,
I somebody suggested thnt the commissioners
ought to advertise , receive bids and let con
tracts. That idea was discouraged on the
ground that Ityan and myself would bo de
layed another month ; then they wanted us
to take the job at 25 cents a yard. We de
clined , stating that wo were not in the grad
ing business , but consented to do It , pro
vided they would allow us the schedule rale
of 35 conts. They said , 'All right go
ahead. *
"That is the deal nnrt any ono who pretends
to have an understandingdifferently is de
fective in memory. "
"How docs it happen Mr. Walsh , thnt in
his final estimate the county surveyor only
allows you 25 cents } "
"I know nothing about that. 1 do know ,
however , that wo received 35 Ireuts lor C7-
COl yards and 25 cants for moving 2,822
yards. This was a small job performed after
the walls of the building were up one story
high. Tnoy were so close to the bank at the
south und west end that wo were compelled
to dig out a road wpy. For doing that the
board refused to allow us more than 25 cents
though wo kicked for 85. "
1 'Tho whole thing then simmers down to a
bit of clover manipulation on the part of
Kyan & Walsh to get a soft thlngl"
"Well , you can't criticlsu us. Wo were
taking all wo could get , of course. If the
commissioners could have been Induced to
give us 50 cents you can bet wo would have
. taken it. "
Dennis Cunningham , the financial man
backing Kyun & Waist. , declares thnt at 35
cents they only cftino out oven on the job.
Ills explanation is that they were compelled
to pay 1 a day for teams aud from
91,75 to § 3 a day for men ;
also that everything' else was higher
in proporticn two years ago than now. Ho
might have stated that they had a soft thing
and cleared $12,000 , but if bo did , ho meant
It as a joko.
Dennis is impressed , so ho says , with the
firm belief that Architect Moyors hasbcon
the principal causa of all trouble connected
with tbo construction of the hospital build
ing."Because
"Because of his great anxiety to secure the
job , " proclaimed Cunningham , "be presented
plans for a structure that cannot bo erected
for less than 200,000 , marked to cost $120,000.
Unless the commissioners allow us a bill of
extras that wo will present , our loss is bound
to bo heavy. "
After talking with Walsh and Cunning
ham the reporter sought O'Keoffo , nnd
found him nt the court house going through
records in search of facts and figures , which
ho may want to usa when the time comes ,
lie hud unearthed all the vouchers , und
slnca they contain very interesting informa
tion just now , notes were taken concerning
them.
Thoflrstono , dated September 10 , 1SS7 ,
was for J2.COO "on account , " endorsed by
O'Kcoffa and Mount. Twenty days later
tha contractors presented another estimate ,
certifying thnt up to October I they bad re
moved 21,210 cubic yards of earth , and on
that thu board allowed them f4,000 more ,
unking ftXK ) ( > . This ono U signed by Mount
and Tiininp. Their names nUo give ofllcial
authorisation to the next installment , Octo-
toorSl , 1837 , fortlO,73 . The cortilloato ac
companying this voucher shows thu first es
timated eost,47,78i ; yards as having been com
puted at US tents a yard , in tbo lower lott
Land corner , thus bringing thu total outlay
up to $10,731.0. ' ! . By doductiug the fO.OOO
prev'ously drawn , they hud the $10,724,05
till duo.
Un December 3 , same your , another bill
for 8Ult.yards was presented and ordered
paid , the voucher calling for $3OU.OO. Thnt
ono was signed by O'Keoffo and Mount.
This brought the total number of yards up
to 63,387. Thereafter , on January 4,1838 ,
another estimate , showing 1,101 yards re
moved from building No. 0 , for tha payment
of which Mount and Tirnmo attached thoit
signatures to a $410.VO voucher.
It will bo seen that three of tha ilvo vouch
ers were signed by Mount and Tirnmo , and
two by O'Kooffo and Mount.
Could they , laboring under an Impression
that the grading wus Doing done for 25 cents
a yard , have allowed all these vouchers oa
estimates figured at 35 cents , without know
ing itl
Tha question has boca asked but not an
swered.
An examination of the commissioners' pro
ceedings during I8S7 proves that the busi
ness of tbo county was loosely conducted.
Not a single record of the a vouchers was
ev r mado. Charley Need ham was the
county clerk then and supposed to write , uu
the uroooodiuga. A. young man iahU ofllco ,
Dave Wells , acted In the capacity of clerk to
the board.
Ncodham states that the hospi
tal matter WAS kopteccrct from him as much
ns ( Kisslblo. After the contract nnd schedule
ware loft in his keeping , the commissioners
took and kept them out several days.
As stated once before , the schedule In
question has nn inserted line , fixing the price
of grading as well as excavation , nt 35 conts.
'
That was'interlined while the document was
out of Ncodhnm's hands.
Tha fact may ba divulged that this small
foatnro has already , since Its discovery , been
the direct cause of nn Immense amount of
solicitation. No ono hns displayed enough
assurance as yet to venture an opinion re
garding its author.
The promlscious figuring on vouchers
llkawlsa remains a mystery. Expert math
ematicians In the court house claim that the
figures were made by Dave Wells , who long
ago left the city for ether parts.
But the greatest obstacle , the thing that
they all stagger nt , Is found In County Sur
veyor Howe's final estimate.
When asked why ho put the prlco nt 25
cents n yard his reply was :
"The commissioners told mo that wns
what they paid , nnd solely on their say so I
mndo that entry. To bo sure nil estimates
went through my hands. However , I had
nothing to do with the price until ready to
onttr the totals In mv book , "
Chairman Mount was soon again and asked
what ho had to say.
"Nothing moro than I have already said , "
was his lirst utterance , though ho continued :
"If wo have made a iimtaico 1 am perfectly
willing to boar my share of tha consequences.
No ono of the commissioners is moro to
blame than another , you can bet on that.
Probably wo paid too much for that grad
ing. "
"Don't you know that you paid too
inuchl"
"Well , I won't say that I do. Wo were
very anxious then to got the building under
way , und whan casually looking ever the
site , it wns our firm ballot that there would
not bo over 30,000 yards of dirt to ijo
moved. "
"By ndvortlsin'g and rccolvlntr bids , don't
you Uilnk a contract could have been let ut
25 cents or less ! "
"Probably It could. "
"Don't ' you know thnt it could I"
"I don't know whether I do or not. "
To convince Mr. Mount on this point the
reporter showed him a list of bids put in at
the tlmo this hospital grading was being
d.onc , for grading the court house grounds ,
a much less desirable and more dlfllcult job.
They are as follows :
TTlynn & Co 22o
N. Hall ! )3o )
Alex Blalto ; lllo
corgo McDonald H 0-10o
The hospital job was nn easy ono. Not
moro than 0,000 yards of dirt had to bo
liaulcd far enough awa'y to call into sorvlco
Lho use of wagons. It wus simply conveyed
n scrapers to the cast sldo of the site , und
dumped ever the edge down the hillside.
Since then Mr. Jensen took a contract at
2 cents n yard to remove what Hyan &
iValsh left around the outside nnd In that
> ortlon of the square not occupied by tha
liuitdlngs.
This , it will bo seen , adds an additional ex
pense to that part of tbo work , aside from
.he great amount of money already paid for
t.
t.But
But the whole controversy reduces Itself
; o a dispute between Commissioners O'KcelTo
md Mount and ox-Commissioner Tininio.
O'lCeoffo nnd Tnnmo say they always under
stood the grading was to bo done at 25 cents
a yard , while Mount is oositivo that 35 cents
was tbo prlco agreed upon , ' .a their presence.
More Irrriiiilarltlrs.
County Auditor Evans and his assistant ,
Mr. Gordon , nro now nt work on nn itemized
and detailed statement of what the hospital
has cost , which , when prcuarcd , promises to
occasion a surprise. -
Mr. Evans says that ho finds the commis-
iloners' proceedings'for 18S7 in very unsatis-
'nctory shape. Much of the business trans
acted was never recorded , nd manv items
which were passed upon which should ap
pear in the clerk's records are not to bo
found.
Having learned from Mr. Cunningham that
the contractors propose before settling their
accounts to put in u bill for extras , Mr.
Walsh was questioned regarding the matter ,
but declined to offer satisfactory informa
tion. Laughingly ho roulicd :
"It will be qulto a llttlo sum. "
Tired ol'Anderson's * Foolishness.
Commissioners Mount and O'Keeffo are
now considering the advisability of adopting
a sot of rules for tbo board to bo governed
by , and which will compel a closer attention
to ofllcial business on the part of certain
members than they are accustomed to givo.
Anderson puts in an appearance when ho
wants to flcht somebody , and gonerallv ut
stated or called meetings , whereas the law ,
which ho is always harping on , contemplates
constant attendance as well as attention. It
is thought by Mount and O'Kooffo that a
resolution should ba adopted requiring all
tbo commissioners to report1 every morning
at 8:30 : or 10 o'clock , or furnish a valid excuse -
cuso for their absence.

A Suggestion.
To the Editor of THE BGB : Allow mo to
offer a suggestion in behalf of the citizens of
Council Bluffs , as well as for the udvantago
nnd welfare of the Omaha people. While
the merchants of Omaha are contributing for
the public good during the fair week , would
it not bo right , und .proper if the Bridge
Motor company between this city and Coun
cil Bluffs would do its part by reducing its
faro to Scents during that period , it at no
ether time ) Omaha will ba thronged witn
people from all over the state , and from
moro distant points , who , scrimps , have
never oven seen an electric motor , to whom
such u difference In faro would seem qulto un
item. Also , u lower rate means increased
traffic , aud the attendance from Council
Bluffs would bo greatly incrousod , and they
would como oftoner. In short , it would ho a
great bonctlt to both cities , and in tlio eyas
oftho public place the Omaha Brldgo Motor
company in a moro favorable light.F.

ting $22 on It for thirty days. Thrco months
passed before Handla came around to re
deem the ring , and by that time Mohlo had
sold It. Handle claimed as his due either
the ring or $23 , tbo difference- between the
ring's value and what ho received for it ,
and brought suit before Justice Wade to re
cover the last named amount.
The defense alleged tlmttho oledgo given
by it was a contract , and it had a right to
dispose of the ring after thirty days. A de
cision will bo rendered this morning.

Chairman Hamilton 1ms Issued the call
for the mooting of the ropubllcnn
county cuntral commlttco. It will bo hold
to-morrow craning at 7:30 : o'clock. It Is said
that the boysjiftor the county plums arc can
vassing the county moro vigorously than
over before , and , as usual , they nro nil sure
of success. Burnam's friends claim thnt ho
has a cinch for the troasuryshlp. Mnxoy
Cobb and Griffith , however , are rocking easy
chairs , and nro confident. Either oC theta
may troubleBurnam la the trot under the
inc. Wostcott , ted , is said to bo still in the
race. Mart Howe will trot Churchill a lively
lioat for county clerk. In fact , it Is qulto
generally opined that , ho Is the coming man.
John Trompln , ot Illckmnn , is running nock
nnd neck with Sam McClay for . .sheriff , nnd
some of the boys say thnt ho is liable to dls-
anco nil competitors on convention day ,
Mnxlo nnd ( Jarr , however , are pulling hard
'or tha placo. At this tlmo tha chances nro
'airly oven in the scramble for Mollck's
shoes. John D. Knight has a wnlk-nway for
thoofllco of register of deeds. Attorney
iCllroy , until within n day or two , was mak-
ng a lively canvass for the ofllco of county
udgo. Ho had Judge Stewart , who hopes to
succeed himself , trembling in the balance. It
s learned that ho pulled off to arrange fences
to enter the race for governor of the atato a
year later , and it Is concluded now that
Stownrt will bo nominated without nny
trouble. "Shomakor will bo nomlnntoa for
coroner , " said a prominent local politician
" there isn't unfortunate
to-day , "providing an
accident on the Burlington that compels an

if the jury failed to attach , apparent blame.

The
The Wagnor-Kolly-coutrovorsy Is becom
ing interesting. Lonlso' Wasnor's aflldavlt
reflection upon Marshal * Carder's honor and
Anna Kelly's vlrtun leads tha latter to come
out In one as long as the moral law. She de
poses that Miss Wagner is the attempted nu-
thor of her ruin , that sno induced her to
iimko the Denver trip when she was put off
tbo cars at Culborisoii' nnd brought back to
Lincoln ; tbat the inducement aha had to
start for Denver was a positioning candy
store ; that tbo address given her as to such
u store was a house of prostitution ; that
she Is but fourteen ye'afs'of ' age , and that she
knows Miss Wagner to bo a woman of easy
virtue. i IB'
Miss Wagner's affidavit also stirs Marshal
Carder , and ho will galjito the uflldavlt busi
ness. Ho denies tha girl's charges in tote
and says that ho did nothing out of tha Una
of hh > official duty. Tha pirls are having a
tough tlmo In convincing the publiothat they
are just what they ought to bo. Miss Kelly
touches the city marshal lightly , while tha
Wagner girl scorches him for all there is In
It Many Lincolnltos arn inclined to think
that the head of the police department is
hopelessly la the soup. Ills aflldavlt is
awaited.

On the slope'of a hill In the edge of a wood ,
Bloomed und blossomed a sisterhood
Of pale-tinted Blossoms that nobody know ,
Saving tbo Wind and the Sun and the Dow.
*
The Wind blew back the curtains of dawn ,
Aud the Sun looked out when the Wind was
gorio.
And the ilowors with the tears of the Dow
were wot.
When the Wind was flown and the Sun was
set.
The Wind brought a wild Boo out of the
west.
To dream for an hour on a Blossom's breast ,
And the Sun loft a Butterfly hovering there
With wide wings poised on the golden air.
And the Dow brought a Firefly to whirl and
dance.
In his own bewildering radiance ,
Round the slander green pillars that rocked
as ho flow.
And shook off the tremulous globes of the
Dow.
The creatures of air gave the secret to tno.
I followed the bum of tbo hcavy-wlngod
Bee.
I follownd the Butterfly's wavering flight ,
I followed tbo Firefly's bewildering light.
I found the pale Blossoms that nobody knew ;
They trusted the Sun , and the Wind , and
the Dew ;
The Dew and the Wind trusted Firefly and
Bee.
I give you the secret they gave unto me ,
