lives of thirty-five other men working
in the tube.

workmen were employed in mining OPP
erations About forty other workmen
were in other sections of the tube, but
the compressed air apparatus prevented
an thrush of the water and they escaped
in safety. ..

Further consideration Of the various
items of the sss,s00,000 municipal loan
will be taken mp by members of Councils
Finance Committee at a meeting scheduled
for tomorrow afternoon. According to
Chairman Gaffney a thorough understand!
ing Of all the items will be arrived at and
every effort will be made to remove the
item to repay Senator Ware for work done
prior to 1918 in League Island Park and
for the grading Of Government avenue.
The Ware item appears in a provision
of s1,250,000 for the Department of Pub
lc Works which is so worded as to pro-
vide payment for work heretofore done"
Chairman Gaffney in reply to criticism of
this item will make the statement that
Senator Ware will first have to prove the
justness Of his claim before any bill is
introduced In Councils to provide pay.
ment after the passage Of the loan. The
item, he says. is In no way defective.
Should Senator Ware fail to have the nee.
essary legislation passed or fail to secure
a verdict in court of law, the money In.
volved could and would be used for other
work. This is a bill that former Mayor
Blankenburg and former Director of Pub

grounds that II involved no Just debt on
the part of the city.
Chairman Gaffney has denied that the
item was included secretly and insists
that every item Of the proposed loan will
be closely scrutlnized at the meeting to.
morrow Just what will be done with the
transit item has not been determined. but
Chairman Gaffney asserts that the Item
in no way affects the controversy over

The looters gained entrance to the
