Mayor Stmon is having: a close check mad. on all contracts of public Import ance, now unfinished In Portland, with a view to forcing compliance with the terms of all where there is delinquency. iHis object is to compel contractors to live up to their agreements in doing: city work or to suffer the penalties prescribed by the charter. Chief among the public Improvements now In progress are the Madison-street bridge, the Mount Tabor reservoirs and a large amount of street improvement. The Mayor declared yesterday morning that he Intends to fine delinquent con tractors In the future, except in rare cases where there are reasons justifying leniency on the part of the city. ! am determined to see that the city gets much better treatment from con tractors than In the past." said the Mayor yeerday. "I Intend to check up on contractors who are habitually late m completing their work for the city, and to fine them unless they have an excuse that Justifies leniency. The weather being unusually cold or some such excuse Is getting to bo too common and It will not do any longer. When contractors ac cept work from the city they do so with the full knowledge that they must take all of the risks attendant upon the wea ther conditions and other emergencies. and I do not propose to stand for these threadbare excuses any more." The Mayor uttered a warning to C. F. Swigert, president of the Pacific Bridge Company and member of several other contracting firms, last Monday during a meeting of the Water -Board. Mr. Swigert was present to ask for extensions of ttme on a number of water mains. The unusual Winter weather was the excuse offered. It was accepted in this instance. Mayor Simon, however. asked Mr. Swigert how about the Madison-street bridge and the Mount Tabor reservoirs, being built by companies in which Mr. Swigert Is Interested. The bridge is months late already and the reservoirs will be tardy, as admitted by Mr. Swigert. It is a matter of record that nearly every contractor in the city doing public work is delinquent in a majority of cases. While the charter provides a penalty, at the discretion of the various boards, very few fines have been, assessed. TEAR-UP PLEA IS DENIED Street Committee Refuses to Allow Cutting of Pavement Permission to tear up Alder street, between Fourth and Fifth streets, was denied the Pacific Telephone & Tele graph Company yesterday afternoon by the street committee of the City Execu tive Board, upon recommendation of City Engineer Morris. The .company wished to do some underground wiring, but Mr. Morris reported against the application because of the fact that the street has been but recently paved with hard-surface and it is contrary to the policy of Mayor Simon to allow new pavements to be continually cut. An extension of time asked for by the Warren Construction Company on East Nineteenth street, from East Couch to East Overton streets, was cut down from two months to one month, by the com mittee, for the 'reason that the admlnis ration purposes to compel more prompt compliance with contracts. Many con tractors have taken more work than they can readily finish in time, with the re sult that they have to ask for extensions very frequently. The committee reconsidered its action in recommending a fine of $250 against N. M. Moody, who holds a contract for work on Center street It was shown to the satisfaction of the members that he did his best to complete the work In con tract time. A long and strong remonstrance against the work of the Barber Asphalt Paving Company on Hawthorne avenue, between East Fiftieth and East Fifty-fourth streets, signed by J. N. Iavis. was read. According to his version, nothing is done right in this instance, but City Engi neer Morris told the committee that the work is a first-class Job and fulfills the specifications in every particular. He will make this statement In writing. Application by laborers in the City En gineer's office for an increase In wages from 2-50 per day to 175 a month was denied. County Road Work: Begun. JACKSONVILLE, Or., May 5. Spe cial.) Work has commenced on the county road which the court ordered macadamized some time ago. Jackson ville, with its cool, maple-lined streets, is one of the favorite Sunday resorts of the Medford and Ashland motorists, and the macadam road will doubtless increase its popularity. Every family and especially those who reside in the country should be provided at all times with a bottle of Chamberlain's Liniment. There is no telling when It may be wanted in case of an accident or emergency. It is most excellent in all cases of rheuma tism, sprains and bruises. Sold by all dealers. "Nerviest" Lad Now Holds Hospital Record Little Jimmie" Sharkey, Fever Pa tient, Undergoes Operation. (( IMMIE," as he is called, is the 3 sunniest little 7-year-old young ster, and the nerviest, who has ever been at the St. Vincent's Hospital. A display of nerve by the little fellow was given this week, which Is almost without parallel. His name is James Sharkey. "Jimmie" is a scarlet-fever patient In the quarantine department of the hospital. iHis sunny smile and general good nature won for him the love of every patient in the department. Every patient, nurse and physician in the hos pital grew to love the little fellow, and all were sorely alarmed when it was announced that a large mastoid had de veloped, which required immediate at-tention- The lad's condition was such that the doctors feared to administer an anes thetic, owing to the weakened constitu tion from the ravages of the disease. The imperative nature of the case, however, demanded immediate atten tion. Going to the little fellow the physician asked him how he felt. "Oh, just fine," answered "Jimmie," in a. voice modulated by pain. "Do you think you could stand an operation? We cannot give you any thing to put you to sleep. Can you stand the pain?" "Sure," answered "Jimmie." "I'm all the youngster was taken to the operating room, and every patient in the department awaited in feverish anxiety for the result. During the en tire operation "Jimmie" lay without flinching, although great beads of sweat gathered on his brow. When he was taken from the operating room to his own room there stood waiting every scarlet fever patient who was able to be out of bed. AH greeted the little fellow with a smile. ' He replied in like manner for every one. The best part of it is that "Jim mie" is now getting well. He was able to leave the hospital yesterday. Y. M. C. A.
