Lusk and | Mr. Hayden on the justness of my claim of 92,000 for services rendered: the District and United States by exposing errors in street sweepieg vouchers and overcharges in the cost of laying water mains,in which those gen- tlemen are reported as saying that they | are not aware that I ever rendered | the District any service, or that anything I| have ever written upon the question of laying water mains ever did any good. Iam not gur- ised that said gentlemen should talk as they 98 8 report favorable. to the undersigned would be a reflection upon themselves. What puzzles me is why the Commissioners | should have submitted the matter to them at all. I cannot conceive of any greater farce than referring charges to the parties implicated and taking their opinions against official rec- ‘ords as evidence. Both gentlemen remain silent concerning my charge that it cost four times as much for the labor expenses of laying six-inch water mains in 1887 as it should cost. Mr. Hayden, by his own admission, had charge ‘of the laying of water mains at that time. Will he please in- form the public why he made it cost, as shown by his own report, 553g cents per lineal foot |; for the labor expenses of laying six-inch water mains during the year ending June | 30, 1887, and only 1534 cents for the same expenses during the year ending June 30, 1890? The people are a good deal more concerned about that than about his opinion as to whether what I have writen upon the sub- ject ever did any good. Will he answer that simple question? If he does not, then we| have @ right to infer that he cannot| answer it. At the time I commenced writ- articles upon the water department, which were published and widély read_in Tue Stan, that department had been steadily running in debt every year. The water rents were n to pay for expenses of laying water maine in violation of law’ which requires each fund to be kept separate. Every year for several years those in charge of the water de- at urged that water main taxes should be raised to 13¢ cents per square foot. While I contended that) instead of being raised, said taxes should be put back to the old rate of 3 of a cent per square foot, I stated that J would enter into bond to lay them for that price, and Iam ready today todo the same. In this Tam suppoi very bt plumbers in the city. Tt tay be that the discussion of this question in Tux Star did no good, but it will be difficult to make people believe it. The fact stands un- disputed that while this discussion was going on the cost for labor of laying 6-inch mains was reduced neerly three-fourths, making a differ- f ence in labor expenses alone o year. Will Mr. Hayden able to ley 6-inch one- fourth what he made it cost to lay the eame mains in 18877 Years cannot be correct. ‘Will he explain why it was that as soon as those out jus expenditures were exposed through the columns of Tux 8fax the expense of laying water mains began to be reduced? ‘The water takers and the taxpasers generally ould Uke to bear hie answer. Will Be please explain? It may be that Capt.
