The job did not amount to much in

making every effort to block an investigation Of
how the S1i000,000 paid into the Skagit project to

that money waste on the Skagit would necesstate so

The public camored for light the "Skagit

Why then does Fitzgerald seek to throw monkey
wrench into such impartial inquiry? If all's well

publish that fact If something is amiss behind the

the failure Of councmen, of the public and of The
Star TO get from Skagit engineers any accurate
figures on what is transporting?
'"There isn't any mystery, he tells his fellow coun-
cilmen 'I' answer any question about the Skagit
within 4S hours that you the public want to
ask me-"
Very good, Mr.. Fitzgerald. If you have entree to

questions questions that the public long has been
