Speaking on the first resolution
Commissioner Stern said that he Ger
tainly would not vote for it. II am
not going to accuse myself to the peo-
pie Of the city by any action that
would indicate that l have not been
behind the city engineer" said Mr..
Stern.
Mr.. Ames then asked Mr.. Stern why
he did not stand behind him and vote
for the resolution and Mr.. Stern re-
peated his former statement that he
would not accuse himself. when he
knew that he had always stood behind
the engineer.
The matter was discussed for q long
time and no progress was made and
finally the vote was taken.
On the second resolution there
was considerable discussion also
more charges made. Mr.. Anders stated
that he has not done any outside work
that took a minute of his time from
the city and said that he thought that
the article in the resolution which
asked the city engineer to have moth
ing to do with other engineering
work wag entiI ely too drastic, an
opinion that was agreed to by some
of the commissioners.
Mr.. Anders called attention to the
fact that he was paid $2,7O0 per an
NUN IOr Work LnaL ne naQ put his en-
tire life to. whereas the commission
would not think Of tying up the city
attorney or any other professional
man with such ordinances and at such
salary. He called attention to the fact
that the city attorney was paid $4,000
per year and that no attorney would
think Of giving up all other business
for this amount or for an even great
er amount while the superintendent of
schools was paid $4,000 per year for
his entire time.
There were other charges made, and
Mr.. Anders said that he had not TAX
en- any of his personal time from the
city except when on four occasions
he had come down to the engineers
office and worked designing the build
ing material plant for Mr.. Ames and
for which he had not received any pay.
Il offered to pay YOU" said Mr..
Ames.
You did and refused the money
for 1 was glad to assist you in my
spare moments" Mr.. Anders stated
that he had also done work for other
commissioners.
If there has been any violation of
the city ordinance it seems, from what
was brought out at the meeting, that
has put his time in on the city work
and, according to the majority of the
commissioners, has done so according
to contract, except. perhaps, in the
matter of time. 1t is probable that
the drastic provisions of the ordinance
will be removed at future meeting.

Ames Continues Attack
On Engineer Anders
Two Resolutions Introduced at Meeting This Morning
Stern and Emery Refused to Vote-Wordy Battle
Between Commissioner Ames and MIR. Anders

City Commissioner Joseph Ames con-
tinued his campaign or attack on City
Engineer F. L. Anders at a meeting of
the city commission this morning
when lac introduced two resolutions,
one reciting that the engineer had
made statements that tended to bring
the city commissioners into the lime
light as not doing their duties and
asking for a detailed and specific re-
port of cases where any contractor
has failed 20 carry out the terms and
conditions Of the contracts, and an
other in which the engineer was to
make report covering any outside
work he has done for persons, firms
and corporations.
On the first resolution Commission
ers Amos and Dahl voted for the
resolution, Emery and Stern pass
ing. On the second resolution Mr..
Ames voted for the resolution. Mr..
Dahl against it and Emery and Stern
passing.
Commenting on the first resolution
Mr.. Anders said to the commissioners
that he has been making monthly re-
ports of the work being done by con-
tractors. He said that Mr.. Ames must
have misread his statements, that he
had seen to it that the contracts were
complied with as far as materials and
the matter Of time was where con-
tracts had not been lived up to and
that was something that the commits
sion had control of and not the
engineer Mr.. Anders said that he
has been kicking on the outside efforts
that have been made and which have
for their objects the defeating Of the
efforts Of the engineers department
to get the work done the way it should
be done. ta-
Mr.. Ames and Mr.. Anders had quite
a word battle, and the matter OF the
Tenth street sewer was again brought
up.
"You speak about that sewer" said
Mr.. Anders. land I would like to ask
you who brought up the matter Of the
subway under the Great Northern
railroad"
"Mr. Blakemore and did," respond
ed Mr.. Ames.
"Who had me write the letters rela-
tive to this subway" asked the city
engineer.
"Mr. Blakemore and T." responded
Mr.. Ames.
"And who was it that had me put
this sewer down lower under ths
tracks when l called attention to the
fact that it would only have two feet
Of covering on it?" asked Mr.. Anders.
IT did not" exclaimed Mr.. Ames.
