be a very good idea to have the prop
erty owners,, the contractors and the
common council come to an under
standing as to what the various pro
Visions of the contract mean and as
to who shall have the authority to de
cide while the work is under way,
whether or not the material is as the
contract provides for. and if the work
is being done as it is stipulated in the
bond that it must be done.
Take the contract for the Improve
ment of Franklin avenue for Illustra
tion. It provides that the subgrade
shall be "well rolled before the mar
cadam is applied;" that "crushed rock
shall be broken into fragments as
nearly cubical as posible;" that the
rock shall be placed upon the street
In layers of not more than three or
four inches In thickness and that each J
layer shall before the next layer is ap
plied be "be well rolled as to as 'com
pact a surface as possible, and that
' the "finishing layer shall then be ap
plied, composed of fine rock and
screenings, of sufficient depth to bring
the street when well rolled up to the
established grade-"
The contract then tells how the roll
ing must be done. "Rolling shall con
Blst of and be performed by rolling the
different surfaces, commencing at the
sides of the street at the curb line and
continuing toward the center. The
sides must be consolidated to a hard
and solid nature before the rolling is
continued toward the center. Under
no circumstances shall the rolling be
done in any other manner. The pro
cess of rolling shall be continued up
on the finished surface of the road bed
until there is no tendency of the ma
terial to rise up and form ridges in
front of the roller." The contract fur
ther provides that the cross walks
shall be laid on the macadam, and not
on the ground.
It must be determined, before any
more of our streets are macadamized,
Just what certain words mean, and as
to who shall have the' fine! deciding
f the question. We must know Just
what Is meant by rolling to as "com
pact a surface," "consolidated to a
hard and solid nature," "rolling shall
be continued upon the finished surface
of the road bed until there is no ten-,
dency of the material to rise up and

brought forth cat-calls and hisses from

In vain rapped for order. The police

the third ballot there was a break In
the Upshur ranks, the majority of the
bolters going with the Gray faction In
an attempt to worst the conservatives.
The third ballot stood as follows: Up

After the third ballot there wan a
consultation between the radicals and
the conservatives. It was eventually
decided that the name of Upshur
should be withdrawn and that the
Upshur delegates should Join the ranks
of the Gray followers, thereby electing
the compromise candidate. There were
dark whisperings that Upshur received
the promise of the United States sen

Two young men, whose names are

from military posts, especially those
under the command of the coast ar
tlllery.
One day last week two young men on
wheels were In tne vldnitv of Wit
Stevens. They were evldemlv
comers In this region, perhaps here on
a visit from the east. They both had
cameras and were snapping everything
In sight. Finally they approached
Fort Stevens, still taking pictures at
a rate' that would make a war corre
spondent blush for shame. The young
men were having a good time, but they
went too far. Being Ignorant of the
Importance of Fort Stevens as a de
fensive work, they betrnn snnnnlrnr
pictures of the disappearing guns.
They continued until they had good
pictures of all the armament In the
outer works. About that time a ser
geant saw them, put them under ar
rest and took them to headquarters.

"A short distance ahead and to the-

If I had stopped and turned around
