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

have ml reported thnt tho sur-

whor-w- The records Hhow that
uiu.net y council had adopted pin
nnd spcctllcntloiiH prior to this, nt
prosonted to them by the engineer, so
It would appear n myMi and that
thoro wore no such things In existence
according to the engineer's own nn
mission last night. 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

street.
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

FAREWELL
TO
Archdeacon Horsfall Officiates
For Last Time Before Go

Tho closing services Sunday at the
Episcopal Church concluded the pas
torate of Rov. Horsfall, who In his
morning sormon, read from tho Con
vention Journal of tho Episcopal
Church in Oregon recently published
as follows:
, "Asldo trom Bonio ministrations In
Bummer by parochial clergy of the
diocese, and, of courso, by tho Bishop,
tho Coos nnd Curry counties field Is
still dependent on tho labors of tho
Rov. William Horsfall, who has been
raised to tho dignity of nn Arch
deacon by tho ecclesiastical authority,
a well merited recognition of long,
faithful and efficient service."
Commenting on tho nbovo the
Archdeacon said, In substanco: "This

sion of my standing ns tho senior

It. Mr. Duehner originally wanted
$750 and turned down the city's of
fer of $350. Tho council hnvo nbout
decided not to pay anything but ti
nllow tho street to remain as It Is
Howovcr, If tho oilier property ow-n-orB

I bespeak for tho Mr. Drowning

Ono man goeth nnd auothor
