 In answer to the subpoena the fo;, mer Assistant Engineer appeared and 1 Chairman stanton came down from Norenci 10 receive the records con sisting of two field note hooks. l Mir Twynham was indignant at the procedure and stated that the records had been given into his keeping by the county engineer to enable him tc complete some work he was engaged upon in connection with the pending lawsuit of Webster &i Kirby against the county. and that the County En gineer could have had the records fo the asking. The former county en- | sineer disagreed with the statemens by his former assistant and th1 wordy battle started Such epithets as crook liar etc. were bantiec about in careless manner. followed by threats of violence.

Congressional leaders give out the inmaon that this

will have been recassifcaon legislation that will establish
Federal and District salaries scale of just compensation
for work done.
Much depends upon the spirit in which reclassihcaton
approached by Congress whether employees get the square
deal they entitled to when the bonus disappears In

that normal cost of something like return to

Simple justice therefore, requires that underpaid Govern
