Last July Mayor Brown sought council approval for Clinton H. Kearny as city engineer at 10000 dollars a year. Seven aldermen refused with reasons including lack of paving experience and preference for another candidate. Five labeled the salary too high, later shifting votes to approve Samuel M. Gray as sewer project supervisor with an 11900 dollar annual consulting fee and travel costs, while maintaining the city’s sewer plans.
The Lieut defends Gray as a competent engineer whose services will be worth the city price, rejects criticism of the contract, and accuses four aldermen of reversing their reasons by voting 11,900 for Gray after opposing 10,000 for Kearny. He argues the key is skilled service, not exact costs, and urges public judgment on the aldermen’s stance.

It contends Juarez Madero and Carranza sustain the drive for economic independence despite Huerta’s ties to the Catholic party.
