cantin continued lIed I the chairman forcIng another bubble ot of mirth as he received back from the theT I T members of the board a letter from the engineer which he had handed them I for perusal It s apparent In the expressions of I I Clawson Fabian and Kahn that the boards chairman had been hit bit biti i had hadl l Truly City Engineer to in Chairman Dooly was a scorcher It was drawn drawn out by a caustic epistle the tho chairman to the engineer last Tut Stating that the board of pub tB v was at a loss to understand the Moran contract pipe Is re reqUited required O of an Inch thicker and
