According to charges filed wkb the war department by Contractor Donald McLean, I : of New York, the government, savs thr? ■ Washington correaj>ondenr of the New , . York World, i- paying grea:ly in excess of ! the cost for the deepening of the outer bar at Brun-wi<-k. Ga. This bar lies between Jekvl Island and the entrance to St. Simon Sound and the work is being done under contract by C. P. I J Goodyear, of Brunswick. On November 19 last, Mr. M -Lean wrote ’ i Secretary Alger as follows: “It is calcu ! lated that be (Goodyear) has been paid S3O I and upward a cubic yard, where other con- ■ t tractors under the government are getting as low as 15 cents for similar work with ( a dredge. “I am informed that there is an estimate l on file In the war department made by United States engineers, showing that all I the work done by Mr. Goodyear could have ' I been done with an ordinary sea dredge at a cost not exceeding $20,000.” Mr. Goodyear has a claim pending, un- , ' der t b e terms of his contract, for $90,000. I If he receives this. Mr. McLean declares ' | in bis communication to Secretary Alger I that he will have received a total of $215,- ' 000. This last statement is borne out by | the report of Lieutenant Peck, United . States navy, of the Coast and Geodetic ! Survey. Fortifying these charges, tbe receipt of ■ which bv rhe way ha<s never been ac- ; knowledged by Secretary Alger, aopears a letter to General Wilson, chief of Engi neers of the army, from R. Moore, a con tractor at Mobile. Mr. Moore is dredging for the govern mem at Fla., for 15 cents a yard, and he declares that Goodyear for ! doing identically the same class of work at Brunswick is ‘‘receiving about S3O a cubic yard.” Neither of these complaints has been in : vestigated by the secretary. The work has been taken out of the hands of the Engi - ncer corn.? and whether or not Goodyear has performed it in accordance with the ! contract is a question upon which no posi , live information can be secured. Goodyear obtained his contract from j congress in 1892 bv reason of the novelty ' jof his proposition. His plan, of w hich he > claimed the discovery, was to clear the j channel by the use of dynamite and he was able to convince congress that be could make a success of it and that it would be a great thing for future general ' use. The contract specified that dynamite ; should be used, but there is no record to i be found that it has been. It also fixed the price at $90,000. A special act of March 1, 1893, extended J the time to November 1. 1893, with the j same provision as to tbe use as explosives, j but provided for the appointment of an en- j gineer to inspect and report. No such re- 1 port was eve r made so far as can be is- 1 certained. In the River and Harbor bill of 1894 the : ust 1 of ex.nlosives was again made manda- 1 i lory upon Mr. Goodyear, and another pro viso added appointing a board to make ’ surveys. The last statute in connection with t h ? 1 1 contract appears in the River and Harbor j bill ot 189 G. This law omits any reference ito explosives, save by inference. It was ; this amendment which took the work from ! j the engineers and placed it “personally j under the supervision of the secretary of war." and required a survey to be made "by an experienced officer of the Coast ! i ami Geodetic Survey to be designated by . the secretary of war.” It is also required that all of the ’ ■ ening of tbe bar provided for should be ' completed by June 3, 1899; that no pay ments should be made except upon the cer tificate of the secretary after a survey by ian official of the Coast Survey showing "that such denths ard widths have been severely obtained.” ' This was the act that led to a survey by i Lieutenant Peck, which that official desig . nated as a report of progress only, inas- ' much as he failed to find either a 25-foot : channel or a 24-foot channel of any width. 1 I he contractor, therefore, he reported, had not earned any payments. About a year ago another survey was made by H. L. Merinden. who found a ; number of places where the depth had not j ! been reached. That official is again at ■ Brunswick making the survey upon which Mr. Goodyear claims his additional pay- j ments. which, with the bonus awarded him ‘ for the maintenance of the channel, will bring the amount to the figures named by Contractor McLean—s2ls,ooo. The allegations that have been filed with i me secretary, and which were ignored, claim that this work has been done by the ‘ usual methods. Messrs. McLean and | ' Moore say that they will go befare a con- 1 gressional committee and ask an investiga- ! t tion. Y" “ No Right to I gliness.
