The City of Auburn is threatened
with a suit for more than $4,000
according to letter read at the
regular meeting of the Auburn City
council Tuesday night This suit
arises from plans drawn by the
Frank Irving Cooper Co., Of Boston
for the remodeling Of Edward Little
high school several years ago.
Building permits and sidewalk petit
tons occupied the remainder of the
against the city is for $12,270 which
the company alleges is due it for
work done in preparing the plans
for remodeling the present Edward
Little high school. The architects
claim three percent and interest as
due them from the job which was to
cost 100000 when completed, sum
amounting to the figures quoted
above. 1t is said that the three per-
cent was to include inspection
engineer to be on hand while the
proposed building was being erected.
1t is believed that the architects
could not collect for the inspection
and engineering work until the
building had been built. City Man.
ager Ford believes that the city is
liable for a sufficient amount to pay
the architects for money expended
in preparing the plans and specifi-
cations and reasonable amount lin
excess. He further stated that he
believed the suit would be dropped
should the firm be retained as arch
fleets for the new high school when
ever 1t may be built. The matter
was referred to the city solicitor for
investigation. Papers concerning
the deal with the architects seem
to be rather vague. The transaction
was said to have been made by
joint committee from the school
board and the city council.

ADVERTISERS HIT PLAN
FOR 1882 CELEBRATION
Undue Burden Seen for Merchants
in Project, But Will Bow to
Majority View.

The board of directors of the Wash
ington Advertising Club unanimously
opposed the celebration here of the
200th anniversary of George Wash
ington's birthday in 1882 at meeting
held at Harvey's yesterday.
The reason that the club opposes
the celebration is that 1t feels, mer-
chants will not get sufficient benefits
from the affair in proportion to the
amount they would be taxed to
finance the occa sion.
The board states that II the plans
for the celebration do not go into
effect. as counter proposition the
Washington Advertising Club will con-
duct an advertising Washington cam
paign, FOR which it will bear the ex-
pense.
An advertising campaign. the board
feels, would be far less expensive and
will bring more lasting results than
temporary celebration. The club
states, however, that If the celebra-
ton plans go into effect the club
will "wholeheartedly join in promot-
ing the idea which Washington in the
ma jority desires"

remedy for the trouble was an ade-
quate import duty to protect the do
mestic product from the cotton of
Egypt. He described how he had OBJ
tanned in the senate approval and pass
age of bill to protect American cct-
ton but due to lack of support in the
lower house it was permitted to be
traded off in conference. He said that
had the bill received the slightest sup
port of the representative from Ari-
zona, domestic cotton would net be in
it's present plight. He advised that this
condition could never arise again, as
he would return to the senate with
greater seniority rights and would be
one of the conferees when the ques-
tion would be brought again before
&C ngreSS.
Senator Cameron closed his address
by forcefully declaring that if the peo-
pie of Arizona want a man in the
United States senate who was not for
full protection of American production
in the field and in the factory all they
had to do was to elect his opponent,
but if they wanted a fair chance with
the rest of the world in selling it's cot
ton, copper, hides and other products.
then he was ready to get that protec-
ton.
He reminded his audience that his
past record of achievements gave pro-
tective guarantee that such would be
done.

Senator Ralph H. Cameron took Phoe-

in the evening the streets surrc unding
the Adams hotel were jammed with pc
destrians and automobiles that fell into
line to make the largest procession of
its kind in the history of the city. Led
by the 15Sth infantry band, playing
stirring martial airs and the streets
illumined by the glare of red lights,
the distinguished senator from Ari-
zona was conducted to the speakers
rostrum in Library park distant Is
city blocks.
The string of marchers and auto mo-
biles from Ia towns in the valley
stretched in an unbroken line from the
hotel to the park. sEstimates placed
the number of cars at 500. The honl1-
ing of horn, jazz music and shouting
transformed usually quiet night into
a clamorous and surging crowd of en-
thusiastic admirers.
Senator Cameron mounted to the
platform amid the outbursts of cheers
from crowd that surpassed in size
anything in the past. One thousand of
the audience was seated, hundreds CIR
cled the amphitheatre and hundreds
were walking about seeking points Of
vantage to. hear the address of the
senator.
