To the Editor;-I have been
reading with interest the results
of the arrest of Chief Traffic Off
Ger T. A. Raffety, on a charge OF
violating a traffic ordinance in
this city some time ago. I note
that in an investigation made by
the city council Mr.. Raffety went
before the committee and stated
that he was not guilty of any traf-
fic violation. AS a matter of fact
was present when Mr.. Raffety
was seen driving without suffi-
cient lights. City Traffic Officer
Hayden and myself with several
others were standing on the street
in front of Tylers drug store talk
ing at the time. Mr.. Raffety drove
away from the Marion hotel and
drove north on Commercial street.
He had a spotlight burning but
his headlights and tail light were
dark. Officer Hayden said: Some
one give me a machine and will
get that man" l Offers my ma
chine. BY this time Mr.. Raffety
had turned east on State street.
still without his tail light burn
ing. When Officer Hayden rer
tutrned he stated that the man
was Chief Traffic officer Raffety,
who had forgotten to turn on his
lights. II
II Mr.. Raffety was not arrested
al that time, why was the charge
entered on the police blotter? II
he is not guilty of a traffip viola
ton then an immediate refund
should be made to all those arrest
I'd and fined on a similar charge.

JOIN Il.t Lewis, IOTlner STATE en-
gineer, is charged with having
made a contract for engineering
services with the John Day irriga-
tion district, $50 grossly excessive
in the amount of the stipulated
payments for the work imposed on
the engineers as to be fraudulent,
constructively if not actually" is
a complaint now pending in the
circuit court of the Sixth district,
Morrow and Umatilla counties.
1t is set out in the complaint,
which has been filed on behalf of
the Northern Pacific Railway coin
pany, Dan P. Smythe, A. X.
Smythe and number of other n
terested landowners, that the to-
tai compensation carried under the
contract totals from $4,000 to
s135, 900.
The officials of the district have
been enjoined by Circuit Judge
Phelps from paying any further
amounts upon the contract until
further notice in the court.
1t is alleged that Lewis, or his
engineering firm of Lewis G. Clark,
under the contract agrees to do
no more than make a preliminary
survey, practically only a recon-
Nuisance survey of possible high
line canal (already discredited by
his own report of 1870 together
with a surface study of diversion
dam sites and storage basins, the
said study being in itself utterly
valneless without actual borings
and tests, which the engineers are
not obligated to make"
And the complaint goes on to-
contend that 'by far the greater
part of the work has already been
more thoroughly done and pub
lished by the United States geolog-
ical survey" and adds sarcastically
that this report "can be obtained
at a cost of so cents from the cor
ner book store"
The complaint sets out that
Lewis already had been paid, at
the date of the complaint, $59,7OOI
in warrants of the district, which
warrants were issued as collateral
security for payment in cash as
soon as funds were available" 1t
is also computed by the attorneys
for the plaintiffs that a total
amount of from $4,000 to $780,
600 is due under Lewis original
contract made June 2, 1920, while
it is further estimated that under
a supplemental contract of Janu-
ary l, 1921, there is a possible
maximum charge of $4,000 addi-
tional-the final compensation be-
ing based on the agreed ratio of
40 cents per acre for every irri-
gable acre finally included in the
district.
The complaint also sets out a
provision of the supplemental con-
tract which provides that Lewis is
to retain D. c. Henny, consuItingl
engineer for the United States re-
clamation service.to pass upon the
borings and upon the plan, to the
end that il he is called upon at a
later date to officially consider the
same from the standDoint Of tbal
United States reclamation service
the plans so prepared will meet
with his approval.
II is charged in the complaint
that Lewis knew. when he made
he contract with the district, that
he project was beyond hope of be-
ng successfully financed because
t would call for an expenditure of
rom $3.50 70 5000 an acre to irri-l
tate 225. Geo acres. "or a total Of
