Special Committee Recommends City
Compromise hokosana Suit for $4,000

been gone over many times since the
suit was first instituted.
The original suit grew out of the
employment of Harry Hokosana to
perform under contract the excava-
tion work for the installation of the
city pipe line system. A mix-up de-
veloped due to dissatisfaction with
the work done and n portion of pay
ment was withheld or alleged to have
been withheld. Hokosana brought
suit to recover a sum of money which
he claimed was due him on contract
The chief figure in the complica-
tions growing out of the employ
ment of Hokosana was City Engineer
w. G.. Goodwin who approved the
work done by the contractor and
whose estimates were to be regarded
as final and conclusive. Many ia
miliar with the case believe that
what irregularity there was was
known to Goodwin and accepted the
theory that there was collusion be-
tween him and the contractor.
The case was tried three or four
years ago and Judge Lewis in the
| United States court in Denver rem
dered decision for the plaintiff, al
lowing judgment. The case was
taken to a higher court and the for
mer decision reversed. That was the
| last heard of the suit until a few
months ago when Hokosana reopened
/ the case.
/ More than one proposal OF COM
I promise has been made to the city by
| Hokosana. none of which have been
satisfactory to the council. In order
to secure the advice of citizens and
taxpayers week or two ago the
mayor was empowered to appoint a
committee to investigate and suggest
the best action for the city to take.
This report was received last night.
