There purely must be noma way in which this can ne aone. We hava had enouarh of him In the Kighth ward and from what I have beard from other councllmen they have had enough of him in their wards." Afterward Mr. Bennett explained that Howard had a policy of securing a large number of contracts which he anew he .had nelther-the money nor the material to complete on specified time. ' Then aid Mr. Bennett, he comes In and asks for extensions of , time. These exten sions are nothing more than delays and sometimes amount to several years. The people should not be allowed to suffer this imposition, declared the member from tbe Eizhth. Councilman Wills said that a contrac tor tola mm that he is doing grading work for a private corporation at the rate ef 2f cents a yard for dirt removed ana wouia ratner ao it ror tnat price than for 85 cents for the city. Howard charged as much as 6( cents a yard for some ox tne work on Uekum avenue. knowing that in order to get a proper rate or interest on his money due to tne long delay In receiving payment from the city, he would have to charge a tugn rate. to the payment of the work on Dekum Buncllman Vaughn led the opposition he payment of the work on Dekum venue and was backed up by a large number or property owners on the street, who declared in the meeting that jiowara deliberately stole-' gravel rrom the street and left it In a deplorable con as done satisfi ecu live board, which was done in the dltlon. the work as City Engineer Taylor accepted rk as done satisfactorily and recommended Its acceptance to the ex usual routine fashion on Taylor's rec -oirimendatlon. Councilman Vaughn said that he spoke to Mr. Taylor a dozen times re garding the manner in which Howard nd his men were working and pro tested his acts. Vaughn deolared that he asked Taylor several times not to aooept the street before notifying Vaughn and the property owners so that they might make their objections in proper time. Vaughn's criticism of the methods of the city engineer's office were passed over by the councllmen and Mr. Taylor, who declared the work had been performed in a proper manner. The council voted for the assessment ordinance and the property owners will refuse payment, claiming they will take their case into courts before giving up their money for work done fraudulently.

Thomas C Finnegan. one of the pas sengers of the Ill-fated west side train which went into the ditch Monday night near Foreet Grove, and who is nw con fined to his bed in a hotel at McMlnn vllle. has so far recovered that he is able to write and tell of his experience In an interesting letter written to a friend in Portland. In part the letter of Mr. Finnegan la as follows: "While I am badly bruised, especially in the right hip, I am in an optimistic mood, as I feel so grateful that I was not instantly killed. The doctor marvels I that I did not crush my limb and hip I into a jelly. I was seated In the smoker on the left hand side and as the coaches were turned over and down the embankment to the right side I was thrown Into space. But as I felt It going I had the presence of mind to grab . the arm rest of the seat, which prevented me from being dashed across the car and through the window. When the coach landed In the ditch with the top of the car down my hold was broken and I fell among the debris with glass falling about me like a snowstorm. "I attempted t rise but fund that I was out of commission. Air. Grant, a traveling . man. was lying beside me, knocked senseless. At. this juncture a man attempted to walk over us, stating that he wanted to get his baggage out. I called him a cur and demanded tnat he assist in extricating Mr. Grant. At this he woke up and went to work in ear nest. "At this time gas began to escape and we were In danger of being suffocated and momentarily expected fire to break out and cremate those who could not move. I expected the car to take fire every second and there was only one exit at the end of the Coach which some one at this time battered down. We were carried out in a fainting condition and were compelled to remain in the rain until arrangements for our trans portation were completed. 'I shall never forget the wlerd scene of the broken glass falling about me. The little tot of a girl whose mother and baby brother were killed was in the arms of a man standing near me, crying plteously to be taken to her grandma. She was carried to a nearby farmhouse. When I was being taken from the ex press car I fainted and was carried to my hotel on a stretcher, where I soon revived."
