G__STAR, WASHINGTON, IN CONDUIT WORK Trade Board Delegate Dis- i cusses Cutting of Streets for Sewers and Lights. Edwin C. Graham, chairman of a | special committee of the Board of | Trade appointed to investigate muni- | cipal funds alleged to have been wasted through hastily planned public im- provements, and Robert J. Cottrell, ex- ecutive secretary of the organization, conferred today with Commissioner Sidney F. Taliaferro. The conference is believed to have been a preliminary move to the actual start of the inquiry. One phase of the investigation will concern the tearing up of newly paved Streets to lay gas mains and electrical conduits, but Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, assistant Engineer Commissioner in charge of the Highway Department, vigorously defended this work, declar- ing the majority of such cuts are due ! to an emergency such as a break in the main, or unforeseen conditions. Committee Checks Cuts. “We have a committee which seeks | to keep such cuts to a minimum,” he said. The paving or repaving of street surfaces is never begun until the high- way department has been advised by the committee that no further und.r- xmund construction is contemplated. “There will be some cutting of the surfaces of streets laid last Jear in the verv Z.ar future,” he said, “due to the L~~"TrafMc ligh{ installation program. The location of these lights has been changed several times since the origi- nal program was proposed. Builders Join. ‘The Operative Builders' Association ©of Washington will co-operate with Dis- trict officials in seeking to reduce un- tive secretary of the association, sald w cuts, Rufus S. Lusk, execu- All ‘interested in the study today em- phasized that they are not acting with a view to making an attack on city officials or others, but rather with t.he; hope of reducing public and private ex- penditures through greater efficiency in planning such improvements. In announcing that his association would co-operate in the movement, Lusk declared that considerable improvement along this line of eliminating waste had been made by the city government in the past three years. However, he added, there still is room for great improvement. He cited the case on R street between Thirty-fifth and Thirty-seventh streets, paved about a year ago, which since has been rip- ped up for the laying of connections for new street lights, work which might have been anticipated and carried out prior to the resurfacing of the street. ‘The Board of ’l‘nde also pointed to the instance of the placing of new street lights along Connecticut avenue, at a cost of about $130 each. Subse- gmw the street was widened and new light standards and their con- nections had to be moved back to their new locations, at an additional cost. MAID HELD IN GEM LOSS.
