JUDGE ENGLAND STIRRED
, . OVER PURCHASE OF AUTO
. (From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Sept. t7. (Special.Wudge
t . ii. cngiana mis aicemoon assea ine
' Lincoln city commission to investigate
the purchase of a truck for the Lincoln
fire department, made upon the recom-
. mendation of Public Safety Commissioner
John Wright. England claims in his let
, ter to the commission that the city was
- forced to pay 8U0 for an automobile not
worth over 3W as a very liberal estimate.
Although the , purchase was made
. through John D ah sen. a repair man, It
was charged by England that the ma
chine really belonged to Fireman Kemp
tin, a member of the Lincoln department
and an employe of the city.
- The city commission fixed Tuesday aft
ernoon as the date for the hearing and
asked the men who preferred the charges
to appear- and present their evidence.
Mayor Charles W. Bryan Is brought in
Indirectly by Judge England, as having
signed and approved the warrant for the
purchase of the machine, although in
formed that It was not a first-class auto
mobile. Both Mr. Bryan and Mr. Wright en
tered vigorous denials. Mr. Bryan said
the signing of the warrant was a mere
formal matter as large numbers are pre
sented to him each week for signature,
lie said bs did not know anything about
. the automobile.
