Witness Ready
To Testify In H.
Hughes Hearing

/ Il
WASHINGTON, July 28.-Sen-
ator Brewster of Maine, chair
man of the committee that is to
investigate the $40 million, con-
tract to build seaplanes that was
awarded to Howard Hughes in
1914, announced today that he
had been told by John .Myer,
who had worked for Hughes, that
he is ready to testify about the
expenses incurred at the time
negotiations were being made to
award the contract. = p :.
(Hughes, in California, issued
a statement in which he assert
ed that Senator Brewster is on a
publicity spree" Hughes added
that the contract had conformed
to all government requirements,
and that if the government lost
money during the experiments in
constructing the huge seaplanes,
he also lost money. He added
that the experiments had, cost
him $14 million. j. ~
(He asked Brewster why he
had not said anything about the
$l,400 expenses it had cost for
trips for Brewster during the.
time one of the planes was being
built. Brewster replied that he
was in the west when Hughes
asked him to come to Washing
ton, and that he did as asked.
and surely could not be expected
to pay the expenses when they
were incurred in doing something
for Hughes).
!, Thus faf $l8 million has been
spent in the experiment. and no
acceptable plane has yet been
constructed. A test flight had
been planned for one of the
planes but ended in failure. Z h;

Members of the City Commits
sion maintained open minds to-
day on the complaint of ]. d.
McAndrews, manager of La

noise from taxi stands across the
street from the hotel disturbs
guests in the hotel.
The Commission members said
they wish to hear the taxi drivers

meeting to be held tomorrow
night at the City Hall, before
rendering any decisions. Taxi
drivers and McAndrews will be
given an opportunity to present
their views at the meeting.
McAndrews was out of the city

night. Mayor w. w. Demeritt and
Commissioners John Carbonell,
Albert Cooper and Louis Car
bonell all expressed surprise al
McAndrews' complaint that he
had not received cooperation
from the city.
Commissioner Louis Carbonell
said that he felt that the La Con-
cha deserves the utmost consid-
Grafton, but he could not agree
with his good friend, McAndrews,
that the city had not given the
hotel man cooperation.
Carbonell recalled that a po-
liceman has been stationed on the
corner as the result of action
taken after McAndrews had
voiced a similar complaint some
months ago. He and City Man.
ager o. Us. Ellingson explained
that the taxi station bell is muted

The ladies explained that al
families living on Angela street

and Florida streets and an un.
named alley 1856 feet from White
street are blocked off from White
street by the Army Barracks
Now that the Army is declaring
the property surplus, Ellingsor
said, there is strong possibility
that the street can be extended
all the way through to White
street.
Mayor w. w. Demeritt, who
was in the city managers office
at the time, also strongly favored
running the street through the
Army Barracks. Of the 156 feet
Il feet belongs to George c. Parks
and the rest to the United States
government.
| The Barracks property was
once used for a burial ground but
the bodies were drug up a number
i of years ago and moved to PenSa

Mrs. c. M. Richardson recalled
that before 1926 residents were
allowed to walk through the Army
properly to get to White stree
or return, but Captain Rice
stopped use of the passageway
and put up, an iron fence in tina
year Now residents coming from
