Those of the Engineering and Public ‘Works Differ on Some Points. The board of public works met yesterday morning, The meeting opened witha remark by Major Furay thatthe Eleventh street viaduct would need a great deal of repairing before it could be considered safe. Mr. Tillson, city engineer, did not agree with the gentlemen, Chairman Birkhauser introduced a delega- tion of Binney street citizens,who complained about the delay in the paving of that thor- oughfare. The delegation was informed that the work would proceed today, The taking up of that §,000 estimate, to be allowed or rejected, for street cleaning, ‘about which it bad been rumored there would be a _struggle, started a live brecze, Before anybody could get in a word Major Furay exclaimed: “Everybody keep still a moment and I will read you something that will show you a point that may save some hot words.” He read two sectious from the street- weeping contract. These provided that the city engincer should have joint supervision with the chairman of the ‘board of public works; that to preventall disputes and litiga- tion it is agreed that tne y engineer shall in all cases determine the amount of work to be paid for under the contract and his certi- fied estimate and decisions shall be final and conclvsive, subject to approval ofthe board of public works, mayor and city council; that whenever the inspectors from the city engi- neer's ofice reports to the city engineer that the streets or parts of the streets to be cleaned are mot thoroughly swept and cleaned, d engineer and the chairman of the board shall examine the work and if it has not been done to their satisfac- tion and a hall make a statement in writing ¢ 4 1 done to their satisfaction and deliver the same to the contractor the same day, and the con- tractor shall not be creditea with the same or allowed any payment thercfore unless the street is satisfactorily cleaned the night im- mediately following. continued Major Furay, “if any work that hasn't been satisfactory, has not been complained of on the same day, then it must be paid for.” Mr. Tillson spoke next: “I want to ask you, Mr. Kierstead, how Farnam street has been cleaned ! *“There have been no compaintstome —not a one. Ithink the street has been cleaned well,” was the reply, “and futhermore I will say that I'don’t thiuk the streets of Omaha haveever been cleaned as well as they have been since Mr. Squires has been cleaning them. “But the Barber asphalt folks,” ejaculated Chairman Birkhauser, “from the man who puddles the tar to the highest man, treat me iusolently ; they defy meand my inspectors, and do you gentlemen think I Should or am going to stand that; other contractors don’t do that, and what's more I hear lots of kicks on this company’s sweeping. They haven’t the proper machinery." *‘No you shouldn’t be treated insolently or defied,” said Mr. Furay, “That's not right and must not be.” % “No you musta't,” added Mr. Kierstead, 1y Inspector is Just as good as yours” ex- claimed Mr. Tilloson “and do you, Mr. Birk- hauser, thiuk that I should take the word of your inspector before I take the word of mine?’ +I never asked you to do such athing," re- Eiml the ehairman, **but you bet I propose to elieve what my iuspector says." NVell, I don't want to split a make things burdensome for any Mr. Birkhauser, “but I want this pboard to understand that [ propose to assert my au- thority in these matters just as far as that authority goes.” “I don’t believe in being tod technical with these folks on this street sweeping business.” **You men hold on now,” broke in Major Furay, “*and let me tell you that 1if you two will do your business—attend to your duties —there will never be any occasion for these fusses and fights, I'vehad a letter telling me that another city is going to adopt our street cleaning rules verbatim and that shows they are mighty good. Now you two men follow 'em.”” “I don't believe that Tillson’s inspector does his work right!” exclaimed Birk- hauser. 0, well, don't lets wrangle overthat now,” said Furay. nd that was the way it went for ncarly two hours Finally the estimate was passed, Kierstead and Furay voting yes and Birkhauser no. The board then' adjourned to Tweutieth street, south of Vinton, to inspect some block pavement that is being laid by J. E. Riley & Co. under a last year’s contract. The visit was pald on account of the fact thatit had been charged that Riley has been putting in lot of rotten material. - Some bad blocks were found. butit was decided that the inspector is holdiug the contractor down tothe letter of the law and the work of paving will con- tinue, Water Float.

Certainly I am pleased, and very much $o," came the reply. ““What will be your policy as tothe changes in the office!”’ “You must excuse me from anything like an interview at present.. According to my idea ] consider that anything approaching an extended expression of my views on hing of the kind wh atever now would be ill-timed and not good tasteat_all. I cannot know that I am to be postmaster until I have my commission in my pocket. And I cor- tainly do not know what I shall do until ¢ time comes. 1 have never given a moment's thought to the workings of the office. *‘But you can give the public a few general words on the subject now, since the president s t your name to the senate for con- firmation.” After a moment or two of silent study, Con Gallagher's successor said **As forany changes of any character or description, 1 e mone in contem- plation. enemies to punish’ or vho seck for reward. My time, my ak and my energy will be devoted to the absolite cfficiency of the office. I kuow nothing of the office or its inmates. I donot even kiow the salary of tneoffice. Allldo know isthat I am won- derfully proud of this exhibition of friend- ship on the part of my fellow citizeas, and of the recognition by Senator Manderson of long and faithful service in the party he rep- resents.’!
