Is he the absolute czar of the city?” In an- other part of his letter Mr. Cohen say; that he was given a commission for the purchase of this same Oakland, but he insists that the methods em- ployed in the purchase of cars are wrong. Questions Other Purchasers. Coming down to more recent auto- mobile purchases by the city Mr. Co- hen calls attention to the purchase of a 1913-1914 Chevrolet for the city electrician which car, he states, “has had the hardest kind of use a car might be subjected to.” No automo- bile dealer was given a chance to demonstrate a car in this instance, he asserts. He also questions the wis- dom of the purchase of a 1913 Ford runabout that “has seen some terrible running” and ‘“bought at 1915 should have been bought for,” for Mr. Wainwright, superintendent of parks. As another city Mr. Cohen remarks the purchase of a used Hudson six for the police department. In this connection he asks the city fathers if this car superior to a new machine. asks to be enlightened as to why local officials do not use better judgment and buy cars at home where they can get parts. In conclusion Mr. Co- hen’s communication states that even when supplies for the garage are he- ing bought only one dealer was given a chance. “I believe it Is time matters werc thoroughly straightened out and if I am wrong I will apologize for bring- ing the matter up,” he concludes. TROUBLE OVER WORK, is POLICE ARE CALLED | Attorney George LeWitt Has Some Difficulties at His New Block On Main Street. Trouble between Attorney LeWitt, and builder of new block at the corner of Main and Elm streets, and the structural steel workers this morning was owner amicably settled only after the police had been 1 called in and Mr. LeWitt had appealed to the of the steel workers, According to Mr. LeWitt, the steel workers have made a mistake in contractor in charge setting up the steel posts and beams and one beam and post is three inches out of alignment. As limestone is to be placed on the beams it is nece: that the joints be accurate and LeWitt called the workers' attention to it yesterday. They are said to have agreed to remedy the fault this morning, but before they did so they put up another beam. Once more Mr. LeWitt claims to have expostulated and the men said they would do the work immediately. When he returned some time later he found that the work had not been done and the steel workers were continuing to put up other beams. Mr. LeWitt-at once ordered the men to stop further work and make the necessary repairs. They refused to heed him and jeeringly told him they were not working for him, it is said. Seeing that they were not going to obey, Mr. LeWitt called in Officers Wagner and O'Mara and ordered them to arrest any of the steel wok- ers who entered his building, saying he had discharged them and would prefer trespass charges against them. Later the matter was settled peace- ably. WEDDINGS ALTERED. Not Always of Gold and Tnvi- tations Only to Relatives. July 19.—The war h etiquette of wedding England.
