Dimock and Water Chief L. B. Youngs Into an eleventh hour disap- Proval of the bond sale. DEFEAT MOTION TO RESCIND A motion to rescind the bond sale was defeated when the council split | 50-50 on the proposition, Counctl- men ©. T. Erickson, John E. Carrot Lou Cohen and William Hickman Moore voted to reject the bid of the bond ring, while Councilmen A. T. Drake, C. B. Fitzgerald, R. B. Hes keth and Philip Tindall cast their ballots to uphold the sale, In offering bis resolution for res- Cimaion of the sale of the $2,000,000 bonds to Carstens & Bartes, Inc., John E. Price & Co. and RM. Grant & Co., Erickson declared that when he voted for the sule last Monday he understood that the proceeding had been approved by Supt. Youngs of the city water department. It ‘was not until later, he said, that he had discovered that Youngs opposed the transaction. ‘Thi wan the stand also of Car- Cohen and Moore. Fitzgerald launched a vigorous at- tack on both Youngs and Dimock, charging that the mayor had sum- moned them to his office and sand. bagged them into changing their at- titude “I know Youngs well enough to |know he wouldn't have wyitten that letter repudiating the sale except at the mayor's dictation,” he sald. “The mayor threatened the city engineer with removal and he may have held out some such threat over You 3 Fitzgerald's statement — re: Mayor Caldwell in his office few minutes the chief executive was in the council chambers.

I did not see the let- ter until it was placed on my desk shortly before noon today.” MAYOR SEES RE Loss The mayor declared that the sale of the bonds would result in a loss to the city and the water depart- ment of between $60,000 and $100,000, Chairman Fitzgerald of the finance committee said that both Youngs and Dimock had urged the imme diate construction of the pipe line from Swan lake to the city, adding that the finance committee had sought for months to dispose of the bonds at par, Councilman A. 'T, Drake bitterly resented the criticism of the bond deal “Every time we negotiate a bond deal somebody cries ‘wolf’ he said “Every time somebody steps out and tries to do something for the j elty, he ad called a grafter.” O DIG ENGINE OUT OF GRAVE DENVER.~—-A_ huge locomotive, creek, June 7, day by the Chicago, Quincey railway.
