will be called upon to explain the

the accepted policy to have the work
of street supervision and the engin-

formed by the street department in
those days. While both branches are
.lxurmonious to each other, it is con
sidered the i_iai'-.t__of wisdom «to have
one man look after the outside work
and leave the engineer at liberty to
take care of his branch. The city. is
so large that such a course is im-

work of Horace J. Lewis as assistant
to Mr. Sherron has come under the
scrutiny of those residing in his ter‘

vciy strange if any effort is put for-
ward to deprive himself of a deserved
promotion. A suggestion made by
several citizens was printed in the
Sentinel a few days ago providing for
an arrangement to have Mr. Lewis
appointed street. commissioner and
on the splendid showing made. and
to thank them for their cooperation
and generosity. He said. the people
had good’reason to feel satisfied, and
