OBJECTS TO METHOD OF TRENCH FILLING Commissioner Mattes is dissatisfied with the manner In which trenches are filled in West Wood and other streets in the west side that are to be resurfaced this year, and Wednesday morning took up the matter with Supt. Sam Wilson, of the street department and a representative of the Decatur Railway and Light which is making new gas connections in the street. Mr. Mattes promiseo to take up the matter over again and again and again until the trenches are filled right, insuring a perfect pavement.

Mr. Wilson said that the work on these streets is now under the direction of the city engineer, and Commissioner Van Praag entered the argument long enough to point to the directions made by the engineer for refilling excavations, calling for a concrete top on the earth. It was said that every hole must be filled in accordance with these directions, which Mr. Mattes disapr proved. Mr.

Mattes declared the directions should be changed and he promised that he would insist upon a change so that after the resurfacing is down there will be no criticism directed against the council for low pavements where trenches caved in. He has been watching the method followed in refilling the trenches for several days and Tuesday he complained to' Mayor Borchers and Mr. Van Praag and on Wednesday morning to the others.

TOTAL COST OF DAM $825,000 Amount of Money Paid Out Up to August 22 is The total cost of-the dam up-to Aug. 22, was $798,415, according to the estimate of the ensineers Greeley Hanson, which has been submitted to the city council today by J.

Albert Holmes, resident engineer. This sum includes a rjavmene nf $55,000 on the contractors' fee which was previously made. A navment of $5,126.41 will be authorized by the council. Formal notice of the completion of the dam was submitted to the city council Wednesday by Mr. Holmes together with a recommendation that settlement be made with the contractors.

Cope Son. in ac cordance with the terms of the contract. Wantn Amount Dne The council probably will ask Mr. Holmes to inform it on the amount of money that is still due to the contractors. This is believed to be about $25,000, tut the definite amount will not be known until a check is made of every item in order to ascertain if the contractors finished the dam below the base price of $700- 000.

A number of extra items arose during the construction of the dam for which the contractors are not responsible, consequently the engineers must submit to the council a statement on the actual cost of the work which was figured in the original contract for $700,000. Present indications are that the cost of this project will be around the $825,000 mark. The council has not yet voted final acceptance, although it formally inspected the project several weeks ago. At that time it pointed out sortie unfinished work, and another trip will probably 1. made to see if the instructions have, been followed by the 'contractors before acceptance is voted upon and payment of the balance-due on the fee i authorized.

TRY HYDRAl LIC ELEVATOR Tests are now being made of the hydraulic elevator that was bought to transfer the snd and gravel from the river below the dam to the hole that was washed under the apron of th spillway. Just as soon as everything is in perfect, rinning. order which will be very shortly, a force will be put on to work the machinery bntil the hole is filled.
