Fair, Chairman of the Board of Works, Makes Charges--The ¥n- gineer Refuses To Resign and De- mands An Enquiry In Public. Ald. W. J. Fair, chairman of the Board of Works, is determined upon the removal of R. J. McClelland irom the position of city engineer, and the lappointment of some one of greater professional ability. He charges in- competency against the present head of the civic works' department. All year the engineer has been a marked" man, as he and the chair man @d not pull as well together as he did with Ald. Elliovt and the late Ald. John Carson, the two previous ichairmen of the Board of Works. Fo {the past two months things have heen | coming to a head. When James B. | (Gordon resigned as chief clerk of the engineer's office to continue his dem: tal studies the chance presented it- self to the chairman to carrv out his scheme of reorganizing the depart ment. The appointment of a new clark was deferred, and a sub-com- [ote of the board was recently ap pointed to consider chauges in the engimeer's department. Yesterday afternoon the matter came to a head. Ald. Fair stated that he would have liked to arramge things without undue publicity, as he thad no desire to mjure the engi- [neer's future prospects. However, the {engineer hdd informed him that he in: vited the fullest publicity of his case. In view of that he had prepared a typewritten statement of his reasons for advocating the appointment of a new city eugimeer--one of greater capacity, and who would he able to deal with the larger problems of en- gineermg with which the city is fac ed. Ald. Couper Defends Engineer. Ald. Couver declared that he could see no reason for any change in the city engimeership. Mr. McClelland wae doing just as good work as the en gineers who preceded him. He him: self had served in the city council during the terms of four engineers, and some people found fault with every oné of them, A. K. Kirkpa- trick, for instance, did uot satisfy everybody, neither did Mr. Craig noi Mr. Beckwith, and now Mr. McClel land was added to the list. But other cities and towns were in the same box. : "What guavantea," asked Ald. Cou- per, "have we that another engineer we might appoint would fill the{lll any better than Mr. McClelland ?"' Ald. Pair--*"We can at least try." Ald. Couper--Well I don't see any necessity of making a change." Ald. Fair then stated the offer made to Mr. McClelland, and which five out of seven members of the Board of Works would support. It was to moke him assistant city engineet and chief clerk of works at the present sal- ary of $1,200 a year. The offer was open for Mr. McClelland, and its . ac céptance would prevent any undue publicity. Ald. Fair asked the engi neer, who was present, how he regard: el the offer, Mr. McClelland replied that he had no intention of resigning as city engi- neer, for he felt that his work had been satisfactory. He asked for a full investigation of any. charges the chair- man had to make, and courted the fullest publicity. He did not desire anything to be done in secret. "Well, go ahead," said Ald, Couper to the chairman, Ald. Fair's Charges. Ald. Fair then proceeded 'to read his charges against the engineer. They were contained in a long typewritten statement carefully prepared. Ineftici- epcy, neglect and lack of organization power constituted the charges. The chairman enumerated a number of in- stances on which the engineer had "fallen down," and where, he claim- od, he and other members of the board had to step in. He claimed that the works department was in a poor state of organization and that the work on the streets was not being carried on ae it should be done. When he had completed reading the statement, the engineer asked if he might be provided with a copy so that he might reply. The chairman pro- mised to provide him with one. Ald. Couper then moved that A. J. Pettigrew be appointed clerk in the city engineer's office. Ald. White mov- ed in amendment that the appointment be deferred till the board met again. Both resolutions were lost. No action was taken upon the charges laid by Ald. Fair, as it was understood the ahole matter would be threshed out at the board's next meet- ing. Ald. Fair announced that the re- be'ore the year ended. When seen afterwards, Mr. McClel- land stated to the Whig that. he would defend himself to the last ditch against the charges of Ald. Fair. Some of the charges were untrue, he said, while others could be easily explained and answered, He had not asked his friends to help him for he considered his position to enlist their aid to hin in office. He had tried to do his duty, and was satisfied that his work had been successful. Although he had should have had, far more work was done this year than last. Mr. McClelland will declare that he was handicapped this fall in not theing iven more office help. Since Mr. Gor- mn resigned made to fill the vacancy. Spoke to Men's Club. In St. James' school house Robert Meek addressed the men's club ot that parish on Thursday evening. i His line of thought was. "A Chance For Every Man, or the Gospel Hope." Sidney Smith, the president | of the club, occupded the chair, and a vote of thanks to the speaker was tendered, on motion of Frederick Welch and J. R. Forster. ey . 'Buy shaving cream" at Gibson's.
