"The fact I," said Mr. Kann.na. "ttiut

"They ubmltted lower bid than mine
Imply tu niuke my bid look ridiculous.
They bid fl.fci on Buffalo brick to my bid
of 111. They bid below cot knowing
that they could not legally aocure the
contract a the city would not accept
their material.
"Their plan to aell the brick from the
old pavement for aalvage 1 cited. The
fact la that the original petition for pav
ing the eaine district, circulated several
months before' they came In, Incorporated
that provision."
Mr. Kenning, further denouncing the
contractors representing the Buffalo
Brick company, cited their work at
Klorenre, Neb.; Hastings, Neb.; Tipton.
Ja and other places, as a sample of
whit they are doing. This work was
examined by committees of experts and
none of It was found to meet the speci
fications. As to the statement that he demanded
exorbitant profits, Mr. Funning pointed
to hi estimate on several Jobs. He had
figured a 1 per cent profit. "None of the
business men In Omaha," he asserted,
"would attempt to work for any less,
would they?" As another evidence of the
falsity of the statements of Uichs men,
In regard to aavlng the taxpayers any
money; even on their material: "At the
last bidding on J una I, they bid exactly
tho same price on Buffalo and Purlngton
brick as I did."

answered and. Immediately sent a mes
senger after the man who hud applied
for work. A cltisen wanted a man to
help him for a week. The' Job hunter did
not ask what kind of work It was. He
wss willing to take any kind. And at
once he telephoned to his wife and told
her to remain at home and do no more
work this week.
"I wlah," said Miss Jonts, "that more
people would list odd Jobs with us. We
can provide steady, honest workrmin. If
the Job la for but half a day and not to
be done for a week or mora. It will help.
There are many people who need work
and apply to us, but we have not enough
odd Jobs now to supply them all."
