Alleging that the city engineer or his deputies made a .grievous error, elthor in estimating the size of a hole or In estimating the amount of dirt necessary to fill said hole, residents of southeast Portland living on the East Thirty ninth street cut, say they are going to take the matter, up with the city coun cil for the purpose of finding out "where they nre .st" When estimating the vork necessary in cutting a street through from Wood stock avenue north op. East Thirty-ninth u ib bsiu tnai tne eity engineer gave the people affected to understand that there would be enough' dirt removed, with about 600 cubic yards left over, to fill a gulch which had to be filled in the course of the work. It is said now that all the dirt In the estimate made by the engineer has been cut away ami dumped into the-jruich, -trot "that" the gulch is not yet filled up. Further it is said that the contractors have been working- two days additional, removing dirt at the rate of 600 cubic yards a day from the opposite side of the gulch, and that more work will be necessary to make the proper filL Thus, it la Largued, the city engineer missed his calculations by about 2400 cubic yards, either making a mistake on the amount of earth to be removed or on the size of the hole to be filled. Either way they look at it, the resi dents of East Thirty-ninth street feel that the city engineer has not given them the service they are entitled to, and they propose, they say. to see what, can be done about it. T. M. Hurlburt, city enginpcr, says that the system of checking up esti mates and work In the city engineer's office Is too accurate to permit of any such error being made. Mr. Hurlburt says the apparent discrepancies will be explained to those Interested if appli cation Is made through the proper chan nels. Certain neighborhood difficulties have had a bearing on some complaints made regarding the Thirty-ninth street work, Mr. Hurlburt says, and the ijljes- S-tion has already been threshed out to some -extent before council eomm It tecs and the engineering department.
