SEATTLE COUNCIL AFTER
CITY ENGINEER THOMPSON
Trouble is Made For Man Who Came to
Wa||a Wa|Ia to Inspect the New

Seattle's council is considerably
riled over Engineer Thompson's act
ion in taking up the work of engineer
ing the improvements to the Walla
Walla Waterworks system according to
reports from the Sound metropolis.
Members of it's council are quoted as
follows in the Seattle Times:
Engineer Thomsons time belongs
to the city of Seattle, which pays him
a handsome salary" said Chairman
Sawyer, of the finance committee of
the council yesterday afternoon. The
councilman had learned from The
Times of the fact that the city engi-
neer. after informing the members of
the board Of public works that he
would be busy in Lake Washington
canal matters last week and therefore
he could not attend the regular meet
ings of the board, left the city for
Walla Walla to earn a side fee of $500
as consulting engineer on the water
works of the eastern Washington city.
Members Of the council expressed
themselves as amazed at Thomson's s
duplicity. Said Councilman Sawyer:
'Of course 1 do not know of my own
knowledge that Thomson left the city
to go to Walla Walla. If he did so, as
The Times has Stated, 1 am greatly
surprised. l understood that he had
cut out all this outside work a year
ago. I can only say that the matter
will be looked into. 1t is incompre-
hensible to me that the city engineer
should have abandoned his duties
here, he has made a serious mistake
