Contractors Woods, Bllvens and Porham wero theti called upon as to their understanding ns to tunnelling. Mr. Bllvens said that Mr. Dow was mistaken as to what ho had Bald and that at any rate his talk with Mr. Dow was prior to the letting of tho contract. Ho said that he did not consider what Mr. McLaln was doing ns tunnelling. Messrs. Woods and Perhnm stated that they wero told that they had to bid according to specifications and tho specifications provided for ar open ditch. They qualified this by say ing that Engineer Sandberg had in formed them that they probably would strike water on tho deep cut Finally Mayor Straw called on each of tho contractors Individually to know whether or not they thought thoy hnd recolved a squaro deal. All of thorn said thoy had no reason to think otherwlso. Messrs. Powers and Savago stated this was all that was necessary that as long ns tho contrnctors woro sun thoy got a squaro doal, thoy wero sat isfied and that it wfts no uso paying' any attontlon to tho gossip. During tho discussion, Contrnctor McLaln said that ho did not wan becomo Involved In It until all of tho otherB had their suy, but that he stood ready and willing to furnish tho council with any of his data. Lator he did bo. ' During tho discussion, Mr. Dow stated that ho had merely told Mr. Powors what had como to him, as ho bollovod this was a matter that tho council should Investigate. Lator Mayor Straw brought up tho Donnolly avonuo Improvement which Mr. Dow nnd others had protested nBnlust as not being dono nccordlng to specifications. After moro or loss dlBCUBslon, Councilman Coko snld that ho and Pat. Honnessoy had gono ovor tho Job nnd found that overy discrepancy that Mr. Dow hud men tioned In his letter was correct, but that ho did not think tho changes ma terially affected tho work In fact he thought many of the changes woro for tho best. Mr. McLaln said thnt he thought ho had dono n good Job on tho street but stood willing tc mako any alterations tho council could suggest, including filling under tho plank. Mr, Dow said that ln sub mitting tho letter, ho had no fault to find with the general character of the work, but as long as the specifications provided certain things ho thought they should bo lived up to. Tho ques tion of leaving a slight dlstanco be tween tho planks in tho sldowalk also came up. Somo thought It was for the best although somo along Don nelly avonuo woro kicking on It. H. W.

Tho council did not tnko nny notion. Onco before when tho mntter was brought up tho council acted unfavorably on tho mm tor. Tho council has tho right to act on tho frnnchltia or to lcavo It through tho roforondum to tho people. It was decided to do tho latter and tho mnt ter will bo voted upon at tho next oloctlon.
