years. confesses to having derived con

take the first step In carrying out Chi
Cages new policy of municipal owner
ship, and a very important step, too.
Mr.. Harrison tells with much glee of
the manner in which his coup was ac-
complished. Before Judge Dunno
could qualify Mr.. Harrison appointed
his city engineer-Arnold, to be chief
engineer of the street lines to be pur.
chased by the city. The appointment
was promptly confirmed and 1t could
not be undone.
Judge Dunno got wind Of what was
brewing and tried to head it off with
1 view to securing the appointment
OF a man of his own choosing. but he
WAS loo late, and Mr.. Harrison's en-,
gineer will superintend the carrying
out of the great project,
