day why he wanted all work under the
million-dollar appropriation for park
Improvements done BY contract He
said II would be done quicker by con-
tract than by days work. but failed to
say why go little had been done by
days work an why II could be done
quicker by contract.
MIR. Clausen admitted that he had
