D. Daveys tells a story that equals Jack London's most lurid tales. According to his account, “Old Charley” Davidson, who lives outside Thorp, has discovered about 15 acres of very rich pay dirt somewhere within a radius of 25 or 30 miles of the piace, and is working it on shares with two mysterious individuals who are referred to only as an “old In- dian” and a Dutchman. The Indian and the Dutchman, Daveys writes, washed more than $8,000 worth of coarse gold in three| days and stopped only when the! weather turned so cold that It made the snow water stop flowing, which made further washing impossible. Now, Daveys says, the partners are Planning a number of ditches and} | | HERE’S MORE ABOUT CITY WORK STARTS ON PAGE 1 samo as if a man were forced to place & $2,000 mortgage on his property in order to build a $1,000 home—only it’s worse, because in some cases the cost of the useless surveys may be so heavy that the assessment that Is finally made {s practically confisca- tory. Here's the way the practice works out, according to charts that have been prepared in the engineer's of- fice: For every $600,000 worth of actual work that 19 done, the engineer ts compelled to prepare specifications tor approximately $6,000,000 worth. It costs about 25 per cent of the total engineering expense on a project to prepare the preliminary specifications. DOUBLE COST OF REAL WORK This means that the useless ex- penditures are more than double the cost of the real work—that Is, the $5,400,000 worth of useless work that is done in order to prepare specifica- tions for $600,000 worth of bona fide improvement costs as much as $1,- 350,000 worth of finished work. As the city is spending about $568,000 for this class of work this year, the elimination of this waste would mean an actual saving of something like $400,000—which, with taxes at thelr present high rate, would bring a gratifying sense of re- lef to the common people who have to pay the bills. But the city engineer can’t do any- thing. He doesn’t undertake any work that the city council doesn't or- der. But he has to perform tHe tasks that the council seta for him. Bo it's strictly up to the council. ‘That body must decide whether it prefers to sidestep a little personal embarrassment from time to time to accepting the onus of foisting a huge and unnecessary burden on an al- ready tax-ridden public.
