THE INVESTIGATION

The investigation Of City Engineer
McKenna has Travelled its tedious way
through three sessions of the commit
tee without producing anything that
seriously challenges the good conduct
of the incumbent, while much has
been adduced to show that his affairs
are in excellent order and that his
work has been well and skillfully per-
formed. 1t has been shown that an
employee of the office received his sal
airy during a period when he was an
invalid Since this employee had been
in the service of the city for % years
and had performed much work out Of
hours, for which he had not been COM
pensated. the circumstance will hardly
damage Mr.. McKenna in the minds of
the committee Especially as it fur
ther appeared that McKenna's own
brother, who was incapacitated for
two months while in the employment
Of the city, was not compensated,
showing a deHcacy upon the part of
the engineer not always discovered in
those who do public service.
