So Kir as this boaril Is nwkr* this communication was received end Hied without comment and ordered (lied, but later; tho board having ordered tho street' superintendent to discon tinue the work on Ocmulgoo street except between Fourth nnd Fifth, where the earth waa needed for tho Improvement on Fifth street, it com mittee meeting waa called, when the matter of Tho Oemulgee street work was discussed and Oho Joint sewer oonvmlttco Agreed to allow ouch por tion ot itho amount as Should havo been shown to havo been caved by the change of tho sewer system to opply to tho work of grading Oomulgee street, and which In the opinion of the engineer woutd bo opproxlmaitely 16,000.

Respectfully. v Board of Public Works. A CARD FROM MR COU.1NS. Tb the Editor ot the Telcgrapn: A publication In the Evening New* by the board ot public work* makes a state ment from me necessary. At the meeting of the mayor and council held September U. It wns my privilege to offer a resolution in that body which was. in effect, that as the several appropriations were near ex hausted. no more work on th* street, should be done unless authorized by council. It awe a harmlrew resolution, had not the .lightest trace of bitterness In It: neither did tt reflect upon tho board ot public works as a body or *a Individuals. It wss simply Intended to call a halt on work except that wh ch wss absolutely necessary and lor which we could pay. At the last meeting of council, the board ot public works addressed that body a lengthy communication refer ring to mv revolution, nnd with a pile of mbstutemen'.s and criticism, of my I-x-ltlon In particular, and that of thp oounril In general, and proceeded to tear h.rir and fret and whine because possibly somebody might say the board (with the exception of Mr. Kills, who dim,eked from the others.) might have done something wrong—Just as though It were possible that «o great and good people ns Messrs, Oannenberg and H»- ikMM could do any wrong. Net foment with having their tong resolution read n ‘fore the eunc'.l, fear ing that nobody could And It If flled In the clerk’s office, three commissioners, whose hatr-raVing epistle was sent to council just at the moment when "ne of them should send In hb resignation, furnished a copy to the pros, that the taxporers could not shake their gory locks at them ana say they did It And but for their enxiety to rush Into print with their misleading statements, I would be content to let the matter rest twi file in the clerk's office. They want to Impress upon the people that all *hb worlf they have been doing was piled on them by the council, and that they. In nocent creatures, have really done noth ing but obey the mandates of council. But let us turn to the tecta as put In black and white on the records. Oeqember l*. IMS. the following eommunMatlon. signed hy Messrs. Dan- nenberg and Ilaxlehurst of tho board of public works, was sent to council: “The commissioners of public works have made an Inspection of the Mrtou ofthe city, and beg to aay that they were found in good condition. We find that there is some rana'ehed work Which will occupy the time of the street force for some <iay». and also gome spe cial work which will require; prolrihly thirty day* to complete.. The cornmta- •loncra find that It la ntfxmry to . a stnne or brick aqueduct ov r the WnevlHc branch, at the Interaeotlon .of Washington, and Georgia avenue; they aba recommend that Fifth street, from th* depot of the E.

Once more tfteboard also says with a mighty flourish, tliat the grading of Oomulgee street, about Which there has been so much dlscusafon. Is ano^icr responsibility Ito rest on council. Now, It 1* a mtutter of recoM that on tho 27th of May the mayor recommended mat the grading of Ocmulgcc street be done; rbsit it be done' by contract, and further, that this grading waa recommended bemuse it was then Thought that The entire work would coat no more than The preparing of that mri-et for The sewer*. It was the mayor’s Icku that the change made In the eewer plan* would save enough to ray for this work, and thus benefit a large number of citizens. Couricll took the same view of It umd adopted the recommcnUritlon, Tho nbxtt Thing coun cil heard of this matter was the ad vertisement of the board culling for bids for the work and submitting the bids to council for approval, which was done July 6. So much for Bio work. It will be seen Thait 1f n great amount of public Improvement ha* ibeen done, the board certainly hue as much glory for re questing It os The council. It 1s not my purpose to find fault with the board of public works, even though they at tempt to saddle on council many of their own alns, but I must deny that They hive been controlled by Council. If council could have controlled them In the least, .hero are a number of places ejtdly in need of work that wouldjhave been ntitertded to long ago. The fact Is, this has been a sort of one-mum Institution for a long time and has run counter to council when ever The opportunity was presented. The chairman Gins been absent nearly all itho time, and until recently Mr. liaalehurst was tho only member In command. Some time ago a cinder got In hhi eye. Which so Inflamed R That bo has not seen Anything but his own Individual side of a question. Now thalt he has resigned Go build the sew ers I hope that eye will be well enough Tor him to sec that bis resolution was wrong, altogether wrong, OnU tint next time be writes a a Uofenso of The board he Should con sult itho records and give nothing but facts.
