PAYING ENGINEER IS LEGAL ISSUE Suit Filed by Frank B, Allen— Charge Ridiculed by At- “been fiied in district court! against members of the city commission from * 191f' to’ 1915, in which a legal question is, raised as to the method of paying for ‘city engi- avering work, The suit asks: the: recovery for the city of $653 paid T. R.. Atkinson, city. engineer, under a contract which: he held with the city. hrank, B. Allen, as a taxpayer, with his -brother, Allen,. Joseph Coghlan and Simpson and Markoff as attorneys: Plan Evolved in 1911. . In 1911 the city adopted 'the plan of contracting With Mr. AtkinSon for city engineering work, paying shim an amount e8iimated to be sufficient to y office ékpensés, and aloWing him of thé amount o1 city ing $500 as salary ou of whicli he: was required: to) pay his assistants.

A large part of what the.com: | mission paid him has: gone to pay these incidental expenses. The result is that his actual compenation for the work done is: very small. “The kind of contract made has been in the interests of ecenomy. ‘An investigation of engineering cost: in other cities in this state has shown that where the engineer has been paid a salary, and where the‘city has: paid the cost of inspection ahd of’ consult- jng engineers and all other engineer ing expenses, the actual cost has. in most cases been in excéss of five’ yer’ cent of the cost of the improvement: During the high price period this per- centage has been matetiaHy increased. “In the recent’ Water works hearing | the engineers employed by the water supply company testified that eight per cent is a reasonable engineering; commission. The witnesses employed by the city, aside from Mr; Atkinson, placed the figiire at seven to eight per cent. Mr. Atkinson has not re- ceived in excess of five per cent, arid on the paving contracts awarded: in 1916 he received only four per ceiit. It is absurd to contend ‘that an engi- |, neer working for a salary of $100.00 a month, or $1200.00 a year, should’ pay thousands of dollars to meet’ the’ éx- penses of inspectioh and other engi- neering expenses in connection with his position.’ American Troops Stationed-in China Living Like Scrubs Prices High, Dollar Low; and U.

Prestige Suf- fers By JACK MASON Manager Far Eastern Bure: paper nterprise Shanghai, China: Tientsin, China, May 20;—Out here in China, supporting the dighity of America and protecting the lives of Americans, is the Fifteenth Infantry, United States army. It’s bad enough to be 10,000 miles away from home, but how would you like to be here in China living like scrubs of the universe, living in pen- ury and even want? That is the situ- ation of ‘the officers and‘ men: of the’ Fifteenth. The fact is, the Fifteenth is on double duty and on’ half pay: to the people of the Uniteil States to. see tovit) that these: men whose duty has thrown them, to the other side of the morld are: given ‘the full: pay of. a soldier of the nation. No’ increased fay; simply full pay. The ifteenth infantry is stationed’ at the port of Tientsin as part of an international guard to keep the roa open between the capital, ‘Pekin,‘and the sea. This guard is a result of the Boxer outbreak of 1900 when the min- isters of the nations were beseigY. for weeks in Pekin. : ‘Dotlar Worth 61 ‘Cents. ‘Clinése money is on a silver basis ‘of valuation.
