City Engineer Clement Denies That He Is Out for the Stuff ‘Whether It Be Great or Small. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Sept. 28. After a few weeks of gentlemanly for- bearance toward each other the Board of ‘Works had Its periodical quarrel this morning. It was all over a trifie—a mere $80 job—but it served to show that the feeling which has existed for nearly two years is as bitter as ever. There are two little sheds on the city wharf, and it Is the duty of the Board of ‘Works to have them painted. The Coun- cil appropriated $%0 for the job, and this morning a resolution was passed award- ing the contract to J. W. Montgomery City Attorney Dow submitted a proposi- tion from a man named Chapman, but as it contained no figures Secretary Thomas was not intending to read it. Dow caued for it and it was read, but as it specified no price the Mayor and the City Engineer voted against it. Mayor Thomas then called for F. M. Farwell’s bid, which was for $30, and su prised Mr. Dow by voting with Mr. Clem- ent to beat it. Montgomery appeared in person and of- fered to do the work for $80. Dow claimed that the offer was not a bid, but the Mayor said it was all right. . “I do not approve ef this,” said Mr. Dow. “One bidder goes out and brings a man here to say what he will do the work for, and l%ere is a disposition to glve it to him. This matter ought to go over till we can get lower offers.’ “I am ready to vote for this man Mont- said the Mayor. “My man Far- that figure.” Then Mr. Dow was ruffled. “Some others, perhaps, will do it for less,” sald he. ‘“This is a matter that you and Clement want to gobble as you | gobble up everything you get your hands on.” The Mayor laughed and walked indig- nantly out of the room. “I am not gobbling up anything that I know of,” said Clement. “You fry to gobble every small thing that comes up,” retorted Dow. His Honor then returned. “Y am not out for_the small stuff like some of you,” said Dow. “Then what on earth are you Kicking about?'* asked Clement. "*“I am not out for apy kind of stuff, small or other- wise.” ATE THE PILLS. An Infant Consumes & Quantity of Medicine With Fatal Effects.
