WO weeks ago The the affidavit of Chauncey Marshall Wood and H. W. Barton that the Catskill water bor- ings had been falsified. ese three men were employed on a drilling; gang and did what the engineers | and contractors told them todo. | The specific charge was that on line A, hole H had been bored 140; feet through gravel, shale and slate} without reaching solid rock. The Water Commissioners were coming to inspect the work and to proclaim to the public that a solid rock founda- tion had been reached. The morning the Commissioners came an engineer directed one of | the workmen to bring a bluestone core which had already been prepared. | ‘This was dropped down the drill hole, and when the Commissioners arrived it was officially fished out and distributed as souvenirs in conclu-| sive proof that solid rock had been reached. | To this specific charge the answer ‘of the Water Board is to have Marshall Wood discharged from his job. | If Marshall Wood made a false affidavit he should be prosecuted for} Perjury. If his affidavit is true the engineer who ordered it done should} be promptly indicted and sent to jail. No one more than the members of the Water Supply Board, especially the new President, John A. Bensel, should be desirous of finding out the truth and punishing the guilty ones. Is it reasonable, Mr. Bensel, to suppose that a minor engineer did this of his own initiative and volition? Or is it not more natural to believe that he was instructed to do what he did because falsified borings make millions of dollars of extras? ing World CASS DENT BOARD OF WATER uP, Statements thave been made by other workmen which this paper refrains from publishing—since it does not desire to have them, too, dis- charged-—which would convict several highly paid engineers and would point strongly to connivance between officials and contractors. If the Water Supply Board will reinstate Marshall Wood and will pledge itself not to punish any minor employee for his testimony it can readily get at the facts. One of these facts ts the payment to contractors for boring throug! water. Many of the Hudson River borings, instead of starting where th drill. began to work, were paid from the surface of the water. Allowances were also made to favored contractors. Contractors twee tok to-increase the amount of their bids and to raise their prices \Contractorsamho-did-not do-this were interfered with and their payments bdid.up.
