Then Mr. Broadnax says:
"Cause guaranteeing speed of en¬ gine at full load and no load has been omitted. In alternating currents par¬ allel operation this is very essential."
Here is the section which he says has been omitted whicb I copied from Mr. Smith's plans:
"The co:itractor guarantees a reduc¬ tion of the steam pressure from 125 to | 80 pounds will not   reduce   the  speed
tions of $28,772.46, leaving an   uncol¬ lected balance of 38,760.73.
Trustee Randall said there seemed to be some misunderstanding among contractors bidding on the power house extension contract, and alsu in the prers, as to conditiona of supervision, and he accordingly moved that the question of who should be supervising engineer should be contingent upon whether the Buard adopted the plans of Mr.   Smitb,   the   engineer   at   the

It would be unfair to the contractors to expect them to give satisfaction to an engi> neer nr contractor while working on a set of plans he is opposrd to from tbe start. Mr. Ranc'all said the Village would probably save more than the ^ $1000 or more that we will have to pay Mr. Broadnax anyhow, by adopt¬ ing this resolution. The resolution was not put to a vute, there being con¬ siderable discussion on the matter.

Aa Mr. Smitb aaya in the letter he wrote the Village Board: "As this aize engine belt wheel ia apecified in Mr. Broadnax'a aecond specification, page 77, and not in my specifications, I presume that he intended this criti¬ cism for himself." i Evidently he does, as  bis  spedfica-
