THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, 1910 EVENING EDITION tmtmmm www m""-- TELLS OF CITY WORK Appears Before City Council Regarding Objection to Engineer's Plans. ED1TOII OP THE TIMES: At tho reqjest of tho City Council 1 ap peared before them last night ns a momber of tho committee that was appointed to vlow tho West Marsh fluid sower, and also as n propertj holder on Donnelly avenue, who at tho request of various other property holders filed several objections to va rious discrepancies on tho work of Donnelly avenue that tho engineer was allowing to go through. 1 discovered after I was nt t' council meeting that In reality what I was at that meeting for, was to de fend myself against repenting various reports that had come to mo relative to tho engineer and his work, most of which I had heard In tho council room. I explained to tho council that It they wanted to put mo on trial, 1 was prepared to meet them and would bring my nttorncy, but that I did not understand that I was being called boforo the council to bo tried out. However, In order to bring tho matter squarely beforo tho public and placo It where I think It belongs, 1 will stnto that various reports have como to mo and which 1 rcportod to Bovornl members of tho council that tho engineer's plans on the West Marshlleld sewer would not bo com pleted until tho job was completed. That tho plan that a good many of tho contractors llgured on orglnnlly was not the plan that Is being worked out by tho present contractor on the ground, This was stated in open meeting In tho council chamber sev eral wcoks ago, and was not denied there that night. Personally, I am of tho opinion that the contention of tho contractors that the engineer U olthor woefully Incompetent or woe fully selfish Is correct, and I bollevo 1 hail It proved to my complete sni Isfactlon last night. Geo. Ayor, ns n mombor of the viewing committee, reported that tho engineer had n vised him thut thoro would probably bo n out of 30 or 32 feet nt n certain point. Tho records show that tho contractor Is cutting 20 feet nt this jiolnt and Inst night Mr. Coko asked Mr. Morrlggoy If thoro had been n chnngo nt his plnco, nnd wns told THAT THERE HAD, thnt tho dlrch wftB.,0 feot shallow. Mr. Sondborg prlmiPk0 "l nnd nuked who gnve bo immures nnd was TOLD THAT l Brer"111 tl,u "litter was dropped.

Mr. Porhnui was nsked a question point blank last night If ho could Identify tho prolllo ns It was laid boforo him, and claim ed to be tho profile of tho Wont Marshlleld sewer. Ho said thnt to tho best of his recollection the prolllo had never appeared beforo him bo foro, but that a tracing had appeared, another pointer that would teud to show that thoro were no plans or specifications, but a tracing. Mr rerhnm also mado the statement last night that when he went to tho re corder's ofllco to get tho data from tho prolllo thnt It could not ho round, nud ns a result ho had to piu In his bid ns n whole nnd not ns a unit, This wna corobornted by Mr. Mcl.nln, Pure Ice Cream Oil is the only kind that has over been handled at STAFFORD'S.

TWO STORES SW Front St Utt Oeutiwl Ave which goes to show further that, up to this tlmo there was no prolllo of the West Mnrshflold sewer filed with tho city recorder. Three weeks age when tho statement was made In open council meeting that tho plane and specifications wero not complotc and wore not tho same as tho con tractors had figured upon, Mr. Al brccht called for this profile, and the recorder advlBcd him that ho did not have it or had he had it, and ns a re- suit tho council had nothing to stand on that night. Mr. McLnln kindly offered to lend his prolllo to tho city council nt this time, and Mr. Albrccht took occasion to go into detail that this prolllo should bo placed on file with tho city recorder. So much for what wns brought out Inst night. Now to follow tho thing through to a finish. Every councilman thnt was thoro last night knows to n certainty that thoro is a discrepancy of 1,000 feet In tho amount of sewer that the present prolllo calls for nnd tho amount of sower that tho contractors bid on, which goes to show thnt tho engineer did not have his plnns nnd specifications complete at tho tlmo of tho opening of tho bids, or nt any tlmo until recently, when ho com pleted thorn nnd discovered thnt ho wns 1,000 feet or 20 per cent of tho entire Job short in his estimate. Now, Mr. Editor, I contend thnt with this stato of affairs that tho in vestigation ns hold by tho council Inst night wns uncalled for. Every mem ber of tho council know this condition of nffnlrs boforo the contractors were called on nnd every momber of the council know JtiBt what would bo onld there last night. Tho facts are, and I want to go on record ns saying It, that I have not heard anyone in tho town of Marshflold say, that Mr. Pow ers, Mr. Hennessey, Mr. Savage, Mr. Albrccht, Mr. Nelson or Mr. Coko hno ever dono anything crooked or underhanded whllo they woro on the town bonrd, but thoro nro qulto n number in this town who think thnt these gentlemen nro having tho wool pulled over their eyes by tho city en. glneer, nnd ns long ns tho council evi dently wanted to put mo on trlnl for repeating hearsay evidence, I am will ing to stand my ground on what 1 repeated, nnd feel thnt their own In vostlgatlon last night should prove my contention thnt thoro nover woro nny plnns nnd specifications for tho West Mnrshflold sower until tho Job was practically completed, nnd that tho work on Donnelly avenue was not dono according to plnns nnd specifica tions, with tho cnglnccr'n knowledge YourB very truly, P.
