It the army fails to function
the game commission could ob
tain indictments against the 3
soldiers for the following:
1 hunting without a I): cense;
'J hunting without a grade;
3— hunting within a mile of
the highway^
4— non-residents hunting without
a license;
f> -failure to identify the tar
get before obening fire.
The action of Councilman Paint
or, in making the motion to re-af
firm tlie city contract and the
supporting action of Councilman
Kennedy, leaves small doubt in
the minds of persons in close
touch with the Veteran’s Hous
ing Project as to the eventual
out come.
The city will again become em
broiled in the courts of law even
if the Maver is doing all tie can
to stay clear.
Much bulges on what is to be
said at the Special meeting on
Wednesday night i tonight) at
hich it is hoped Ex-Mavor Hard
ing w’ll be able to clear the at
mosphere.
Two |m :nts stand out above
all else, they are:
11 ’ City Attorney Hutton in
piactic.lk so many words warn
ed against choosing or re affirm
ng the eitys mangled contract,
'mangled in this ease means type
written on different machines,
pages addl'd and no initialing of
pages by the signers and proper
identifieat ion.)
<21 Thepointed-out fact that the
Howard copy was the firmer of
the two as seen by a man with
an open mind who had no poss
ible object in using his influence
in favor of either the city or
Mr. Howard. This statement was
made by Mr. Wilder who "leaned
over backward." to make clear
in every statement that he was
a disinterested party.
It comes to mind that it would
be much easier with the proper
presentation of evidence and facts
for the city to obtain re-emburso
ment of the $700)100 spent for
freight and the stoves, than it
would be for the contractor. The
city would thus eliminate the
suit.

Safeuarding money against |

important, as protecting it bI

is just as easy. You merely f
convert your travel lunds |

American Express Travelers |
Cheques. Tliey are readily |
spendable as cash, and if lost i
or stolen, the amount in- l
volved is refunded to you. 1

' This all is with the thought in
mind that the integrcty of the
contractor is such that he vvould
not "tear up" the last 3 sheets
of his contract when he knew
there would bo two contracts
left against him and the burden
of proof would be on him.
On I he otherhand what was to
prevent anyone from adding the
necessary 2 or 3 pages, an action
which could be to cover an omis
sion by the engineer and at
which Howard would naturally
balk, when it came t<> signing
another contract with an added
{item of $7000.00.
In addition to this we would
bring to mind the fact that Eng
ineer Brink worth drew some $7200
as soon as Ex-Mayor Harding had
certain cash in the city's coffers
and as stated the other night,
“ran-out" on his job. He is now
supposed to be in Guatamala or
the Philippines.
Members of the city council
should he cautioned on carrying
out the re-affirmation of the ctty's
contract when it would be much
easier to obtain re-embursment
and failing in that, bring suit,
against Howard to recover where
upon Hie real “burden of proof"
would he Howard's.
