Houahton Is Criticised

Councilmen Kern and Healy, who
with Houghton compose the special
owl car committee of the council, are
much dissatisfied with the lack of in
terest displayed by Houghton, especial
ly when it was largely at his own, re-
quest that he was made chairman of
the committee. Even the announce
ment by Mr.. Dunn that he so far was
not ready to meet the committee did
not relieve the feelings of Kern and
Healy yesterday. Both think that
Houghton should have been with them
when they visited Mr. Dunn and that
he should have taken some subsequent
action, at least to the extent of calling
Mr. Dunn to the telephone to find out
If his figures were completed.
1t was expected that last Monday
some one else would be named by the
council in place of Houghton as chair
man of the committee, but illness kept
Houghton at home and away from the
council meeting, and the Legislators did
not feel that it would be fair to take
any action in his absence.
Houghton, however, has a chance to
get back into the good graces of the
council and the confidence of his
friends by leading his committee to
Mr. Dunn's office the first of next
week and finding out what is to be the
result of the attorneys calculations.
