J. MORNING TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1907. WORKS BOARD MET An Adjourned Session Was Held Last Evening at City Hall. CONDUIT CONTROVERSY UP Decides That Citizens' Company Can Go Ahead Under Certain Conditions. An adjourned session of the board of public works was held last evening in select council chamber, city hall.

President Kuebler presided there were also present Messrs. Andrews and Klesius. In addition to these members there was quite an array of other people, the Edison and Citizens' Electric Light companies being well represented. For the former company there were present Superintendent Greene, Manager Huston and Attorney T. H.

Greevy and on the other side were President C. W. Moore, Superintendent Wise, and Attorney H. W. Kulp.

The matter which came up was a continuation of the discussion which has been on relative to the Citizens' company laying its conduit in Eleventh alley east of Fourteenth street. It was brought out that the board and the company had both been under the impression that the entire plans been approved and that a permit had been issued by the mayor under the same impression, whereas the approval was only as far as Fourteenth street. The work is completed as far as Thirteenth street and the permit had been revoked. The Edison company, through its attorney, contended that it would be impossible for it to come down the alley as the situation now is. The Citizens' company, through its attorney contended that it could be done without hardship, and City Electrician Downs, who was called upon to give his opinion in the matter, said he believed another conduit could be put In, There was along list of questions asked by both sides and it was not until almost the hour of 10 when the discussion ceased and the board took action.

Before making a motion on the subject Mr. Klesius said: The matter seems to be another muddle after mistakes have been made, by other parties as has been the case several times during the past six months. Here are the Edison and Citizens' companies, both enterprising at loggerheads. Both submit plans and these had not been approved except in part. From what I can understand the Citizens went in under agreement between the two companies, and went on with the work and believed it was acting in accordance with the law, had put down nearly a square and a half without the plans being approved.

I have been careful to make inquiry as to whether the Edison could come in without any great expense and found it could. If the Edison has space enough to carry. a conduit on down the alley they should do so, and if the city electrician cannot find room for them then the matter must again be brought before the board. I therefore move, that there are no objections in the way of the Citizens to place a con duit Eleven provided it leaves space through in the alley to allow the Edison to lay a conduit of the same size and width along side of them. Before putting the motion Mr.

Kuebler said he was not altoegther satisfied with the way the been done. The Citizens had evidently exceeded their authority in the premises and he was not certaln that the Edison could lay a conduit in the alley as it desired. He said that so far as feelings in the matter were concerned he thought the board was trying to do its duty and certainly he was trying to do his as ne saw it and he would therefore have to vote "no" on the motion. He then put it and it was adopted. Messrs.

Klesius and Andrews, voting Kuebler in the in the affirmative and President negative. The next matter to come up was the consideration of the plans of the Edison relative to manholes. Dn Andrews opcompany, posite Fourteenth and Fifteenth street from Tenth to Eleventh avenues and in Sixteenth sreet from Tenth to Eleventh avenues were approved. Mr. Klesius then made this motion: That the Gantz people be notified by the secretary that in the work they are doing this fall, where asphalt filler is specified, they proceed with the work at once and that grout filler be used instead of asphalt; providing the Gantz people will notify the board in writing before they proceed with the work that they will put in the grout filler for the same price as originally bid for grout filler.

The motion was The members were of one mind in making the statement that they believed it was too late in the fall to pat in the asphalt filler and that in taking the action they did that it was not because they believed the asphalt filler was not good, but simply because it was too late in the season to, use it. Further it was pointed out that the people interested were in favor of the change and that they were numerous complaints by reason of the work not being done and which caused it to be An impossibility for many of them to get in their winter coal. The body then adjourned. Pittsburg Division Brakeman Injured. J.
