Show I! Wm The request of Colonel Wall, chairman of the 1 1 Uli board of public works, for an investigation of the ! i K change of grades on South Temple street, with a j, ml view to fixing the responsibility, did not receive 'i nSf the attention it merited from the city council. It 1 1 Hb is estimated that nearly $10,000 was needlessly ex- SB pended by the recurring interference with the j Hg grades being followed by the contractor. Either j H the board of public works or the city engineer was : mm responsible, for this. The whole matter is sure to jf H be exploited when the contractor's estimates reach 1 H the council, and' at that time it is not unlikely that If Wm the city engineer will be the recipient of a well ) iflS merited reprimand. |
