There Is work for Everybody

You may think differently, if you are
out of employment and getting dis
couraged, but it is true. nevertheless
Have you tried every means in your
power to get work? You can't expect
an employer to know what you can do
unless you tell him. You can't see
them all personally, and the ones you
don't see may be the ones that could
use you. But. If you insert little ad
in the Employment Wanted columns of
The Call, for 10c you can tell your
story to thousands of people who hire
help and some one of them will want
your services. Give it a trial-others
And 1t pays, why not you?

PASTOR WILLARGUE
|NFIRMARY MATTER
Rev. Charles N. Lathrop to Pre-
sent Case Against Board
of Public Works
Contractor Condor Testifies
That Clinton Fabric Costs
More Than Steel Rods

The last witness in the hearing be-
fore Mayor Taylor of the charges of
the good government league against
the members of the board of public
works in connection with the construc-
ton of the infirmary building was ex-
amined yesterday afternoon. Argu-
ment was set for Tuesday afternoon at
2 O'Clock. Attorney Milton URen, rep
resenting the good government league,
intimated that Rev. Charles n. Lathrop
would open the argument for the
league.
Attorney Matt L Sullivan, represent
ing the Condon-McGlynn construction
company, which is erecting the build
ing, presented a letter written by Rolla
v Watt to the civic league and a reply
written by Winfield Williams for the
league. Watt rendered his resignation
because the league had not taken up
the charges against the board.
WILLIAMS FAvoRs CONTRACTORS
Williams replied that the controversy
was evidently due to the disappoint-
ment of materialmen. He added that
the contention of the good government
league of favoritism and inferiority of
work was without merit. He con-
sidered that the building was being
erected in strict accordance with the
Specifications.
Daniel f. Condor. the contractor,
when called by U'Rren, produced a
check for S2.031s7, which had been paid
to the Clinton fabric concern for the
reinforcing material used in the build
ing. Earlier In the hearing U'Ren
suggested that a rebate might have
been allowed. Condor testified that it
cost more to use Clinton fabric than
twisted steel rods, the figures being
$2,25S.74 for fabric and $196160 for
rods for he infirmary.
WITNESSES DISPUTE FIGURES
Frederick Littlebale, who was con
nected with the Clinton fabric people
until few months ago, testified that
tests of the fabric showed an average
Of $4,000 pounds, while the guarantee
was $4,000. In response to a question
by the mayor he admitted that he
was not now on good terms with the
Clinton concern.
John @. Little, a civil engineer who
came here after the fire, testified that
ne considered the rod construction su-
perior, but severe cross examination
seemed TO confuse him.
John B. Leonard. who is associated
with General Backus, the president of
the Western expanded metal company
took issue with Supervising Architect
Jubb on the estimated cost OF twisted
rods for the fnfirmary. His figures
were 1912. or $1.1S04O higher than the
figures prepared by Jubb. II developed
that Leonard figured on so per cent
more steel than did Jubb.
