City Enplnoor Ito oivator , who nail boon
Invited to bo present , wonl upon lliovJtncss
BtnnU. Ho detailed the various delays with
which the paving onllimncoi mot. Ho
thougnt thiit there were ltilluonco brought
to boar to defeat the nwnrJs tnndo
by the Board of Public Woriu. At
tno early letting of the pavltiit con
tracts seine of the councilman honestly
thought that the bids were too high. Then
there wns u cliiintro In the pavinj : spocliloa-
tlon1which occasioned another delay after
the bourd bad Invited bids. In this way
considerable time was los.t. After that no
told nbout the passage of the ordlnnnco
which repeated the old ordinance creating
pavlnc districts. Tlili necessitated the In
troduction and pnwngo of n now ordlnanco
nna the el vine of tbo property owners
nnothor thirty days in which to select mute-
rial. Ho tuoii ileiutled the manner in which
un ninlialt comuany linn muillutod tlio city
specifications b.v posting their own printed
sllp-i over sections In the specification *
which hud been carefully prepared by him
self.
Unix Not Unlit 111" llnttril Kospotnllili ! .
Mr. dither * , wnntoil to know If the Board
of Public Works wus not rcsponslolo for the
dolny.
Mr. Rosownter thought Hint that body wns
not responsible for nnv great ntnoiint of it.
The board had acted promptly nftcr the pns-
page of the ordlnanco , but had been com
pelled to advertise three successive tunas.
bit. Kosowator had prepared the paving
ordlnnnucn for tbo council , but when they pot
back Into his hands nftor being with the
TUVU.K committee they were so muillntcd
that In many lntuncos ho could hardly roc-
opnlzu them. The contractors wuntod the
Kpccitlcatlons chanced , but when they could
not accomplish their end they possibly had
something to do with the ordlnunco which
was passed by the council and vetoed by the
mayor , tolling from the engineer and the
Board of 1'ubllo Works the power to praparo
the specifications.
Then tbo members of the commlttoo and
the witnesses drifted off into u general con
versation in which proposed charter changes
were discussed at great length.
Cmiiirtlimiii Stcnl'H Story.
Councilman John Hteel , who was called as
a witness , Mated that wbon ho ntarted for
Sweden in the early part of the season ho
supposed that the public Improvements
would bo nearly completed when ho re
turned. Ho wns surprised when ho learned
that nothing hud been done during his ab
sence. Ho thought that the first causa of
the delay was owing to the fact that each
ward \vuntcd the whole of the $ . )0,00i ( that
wns voted to pay for the paving of Intersec
tions. Committco mcotlngs had boon hold
for thii purpose of npportlonlnc the tnonoy
nmong the wards , but they bad not boon at
tended with any results.
Upon the question of replacing wooden
with permanent sidewalks , Mr. Stoul stated
that as chairman of the committco on side
walks and bridges -ho only oracrod such
walks whcroho considered tno old walks In A
dangerous condition , or when property own
ers petitioned for the new walks.
THAT l.tlMIHCK CONTKACT.
Comptroller OMen Tillies i\cpptlotntotho
Sidewalk IiiM'pctor'M KumurliH.
If Sidewalk Inspector Wilson ha < discov
ered u steal In the city lumber contract bo
bus located something that other oDIcmls
Icnow nothing of , If tholr tustinnny Is worth
anything.
Comptroller OHon said that ho had road
Mr. Wilson's statement In THE Ben regarding -
' ing the lumber deal. Ho did not want to do
the man any Injustice , nor did -no want to
say unytnlng regarding the contractors that
wes , not absolutely true ; hutono thing was
certain Mr. Wilson had cither f.xlslllod or
else ho did not understand the situation.
If the olUclnls performed tholr duties , and ho
thougnt they did , the check system on the
lumber was so coninlcitu that : f\v.is impossi
ble fur u contractor to steal , even it ho felt
BO disposed.
Kurly last sprinir ho requested each de
partment to ninuo out n htutument snowing
what kinds of lumbar would DO needed.
The department ! * complied with hU ra-
quest , and nearly 1UU illttaruul Kind * cf lum
ber were spuclllqil. When tllesn reports
\Vcru roiurncd. ho advertised and at Inn letting
ting John \Viliiillelcl was found to be tbo
lowest bHdar , nnd it win with him that the
contract was made. This contract provided
for planlu , bo.irJs , joists und stringers of
different thicknesses and lengths.
Regarding thn or > lorlng of the lumber , ho
said that the heads of the departments would
state to him tlio kind nnd quantity of lumber
needed for oacli job. Than lie would xlvo an
order siioclf.vIng Just what wns needed. A
duplicuto of oncu or.lor was kept In tno
ofllco nnd when the bill was rocolvca It was
coi tilled to bv tlio inspector who
had received the material. This bill was
checked with the original order nnd any
thing that did not correspond with the nrdor
and the price stntcil In tlio original bid was
lliroxvn out mid rujoulod. After the bill hud
passed through his ofllco and win
Bcrntlnl/.ou very closclv , it parsed to
Councilman .tacobson of the Iliuinco
committee , who also compared the pncos
charged with tlio prices bid. If ho found
everything as It should un ho certified to tlu >
correctness of ( ho bill and nt ilia next mootIng -
Ing of llio council upon the report of the
comnilttcu on llnnncn the uinnunt wus In
terim ! in the upproprlnttnii ordlnanna.
l.timhur Not Spcclllail.
Mr. Olson stated that occasionally a boarder
or u ( .tick of lumber not covered by" the con
tract would bo ordered. In such cases ho
compared the prices with oihor lumbar bid
iimri , and if Ii wus higher in price the
amount charged wus rejected and
the council .lion looked the m-it-
tor up nnd the amount was not
allowed without u porsontil Investigation was
made. In spciixlni : of Mr. Wilson's methods ,
Mr. Olsun siild tlr.lt tlio inspector suunicd to
look upon every man us a thief who Intoniiuil
to rob the city. Ho reached this conclusion ,
ho thought , without Just cnuso nnd without
nn Investigation of the facts nnd circum
stances. Mr. Wilson , ho thought , was ex
ceeding the authority grunted him In hU letter -
tor of appointment bv the Bourd of Public
Wcrln. That appointment provided that ho
should Inspect porm.uiont slitmvulKs laid by
private parties , hut Instead of doing that ho
bud almost entirely nogluotod his duties , nnd
hud tnkcii upon himself , without nnv
nuthorlly.tho t'iBit ' of Invustlgcting the city of
ficials mill the manner ot conducting t'nolr
ofllco.f. His appointment road thai hoahouhl
bo paid 1) pur day while actually engaged In
Inspecting wullcs und the Board of Public
Works should certify to the number of days
( hat the man hud been actually enguei'd in
imikinc * uoh inspection. Ilu did not RUU how
Mr.Vilnon was to bo paid for the time put
In In colluding tlio Invoitlgntlon. It ho
mndi ) uny charge for such services the
amount could not bo Included In the appro
priation ordlnaco.

Strictly
Pure White Lead
is the Best Paint.
Care is necessary though , to
obtain strictly pure , as the
market is flooded with so-
called Pure White Leads that
in reality contain but very little
white lead.
The following analyses of
two of these misleading brands
show the exact proportion of
genuine white lead they con
tain. The analyses describe
the labels and brands on the
packages and give the contents -
tents as follows :

We have a book which gives
the analyses of a large number
of misleading brands. If you are
going to paint It will pay you
to send for it.
