Mike Donnelly
There has been some criticism
and press publicity concerning
the gravel purchase and its qual-
ity used in the Guthrie Cut-off
near Luther
However the editorial espion-
ilge and chinpunch uttery has
been especially directed at Com-
missioner Donnelly who is tac-
itly at the head of the new cou-
nty Courthouse enterprise be-
ing jointly built by the County
and the WPA I suppose making
better headway than any public
Structure ever built here
On this account we have se-
'cured from a reliable Editor a
personal statement of the gray-
- el matter— one who is close-up
with the facts and familiar with
District No 1 matters:
-0
Gravel at 3S12 Cents
"This statement is made only
in the interest of fairplay And in
jUstice to Mr Donnelly it must be
said that he is earnestly striving to
promly represent the 2nd district
And In his splendid improvement of
many miles of roads — and tireless
'work in connection with the constr-
uction of the new courthouse which
is making remarkable progress

But there will be another budget
made in July of this year and I want
the rest of you to get in the fight I
don't think that thing can happen a-
gain if you all will help a little
Go to O'Brien and Join our club—

our part we will win I never lost a

fight vim for the public NOR WILL
I loose THIS FIGHT
There are now again $500000 sur-
plus collected in the City Treasury—
being held back to pay on Millionaire
"Drive out sometime and see th0
good work being done on section 24
which is being improved with high
grade gravel at the very low cost of
3S12 Cents per Ton delivered on the
highway"
(The writer living north probably
knew nothing of the work on south
56th through Mashek to Newallaj
The 'Gravel Controversy'
The much talked 'gravel con-
troversy' involving specification
compliance was on a stretch of
road known as the Guthrie Cut-
off which is in District No L—
and centers around a contract
with a local firm of contract-
ors and the Federal government
and the County has nothing to
do with specifications or engin-
eering work on it
The County was not a party
to the gravel contract and all
responsibility for material and
price is definitely assumed by
the WPA
And all statements published
infering that Mike Donnelly had
any responsibility in connection
with the payment of the county
funds for this material are er-

Public Record of Mike Donnelly
1907 Member Board of Trustees of
Capitol Hill 1908 elected Mayor
This Organization is Promoted by
the Capitol Hill News Up to this
time we have been mostly alone in
the fight to reopen Ash Wo were
beaten out of it before the Council
last July by J: M Burroughs Now
we want our neighbors to help us
It is your fight as much as mine
The people of the Ash-st vicinity and east are very patient
It has been SIX years since Ash was closed Three mayors have
succedded Mayor Dean under whom the matter was voted— with
$50000 in the budget provided for the re-opening That was used
for other purposes under Blinn J C Taylor took up the fight for
us when he went in from ward 2 And in 1934 got $24500 put up
for it Both the City engineer and Manager got in the way of it
Last year when Harlow Gers went in he said finally that he
had gotten enough additional appropriation to complete the job—
a few days before the budget was made up Then's when our —
Baptist Neighbor—Jim Burroughs—got busy for the Mosier Tax
(Bqaters Union and beat us out of it What do you reckon that
'sour beloved sage gets out of a religious act like that
Taxes—while the City bridges rot a-
way repair work is avoided and our
water system rots down
Unless something happens to my
health again Ash will be reopened
That is if you people will get out
and help I have been looking up the
possibility of bringing No 41 down
Byers from the river to 29th And it
looks like a good prospect In fact
Stiles is already opened down to Re-
no land finithed up for 41 it is said
Now get busy Let's open Ash at
first and follow no with Byers

a good policy to keep in office all

TIIE PUBLIC SERVICE OF
J V DOBBS
Mr Dobbs is serving out his
second term as County Commis-
sioner of District No 1 and in
all that time we have never yet(
heard his services to the people
brought in question in any man-
ner involving neginct extravi-
gance or had faith
McCall and Lowe seemed ty-
ranical over public patronage in
some respect but whatever was
blamed up to them nobody so
far as I know ever included Mr
Dobbs in the criticism
The statement published with
reference to Mike Donnelly by
the north-county eklitor is also
applicable to Mr Dobs about the
Guthrie Cut-off Mr Dobbs ad-
ded further: "The County Com-
missioners have had nothing to
do with the Guthrie Cut-off gra-
vel All we are expected to do
is to pass on the work when it
is completed Our engineer will
examine it when ready to tu-n
over to the County and it it is
up to specifications we will zo-
cept it Otherwiiiise not"
"I have stated these facts 4to
the WPA engineers and to the
newspapers and the public need
not to have been misled— and
there need be no anxiety When
the job is finished by the feder-
al government ready for the pay
we will accept it if it comes up
to requirements and if not we
will not accept it"
Mr Dobbs backs up Mr Don-
nelly's vstatement that the Coun-
ty is now buying gravel at less
than half its former cost— and
the best grade there is
But Mr Dobbs emphasized
this point very strohgly: "I am
not in any combination with Mr
Donellv in any manner whatev-
er And want it distinctly so
stated When I think Mike is
right I vote with him Other-
wise I do not There is no work-
ing alliance as has been talked
some' '

20000000 People SOL on Federal Relief Rolls
An article appeared in the Daily News Feby 27 1936 by Robt
S Brown Special Investigator for Scripps-Howard at Washington
n which he shows from monthly federal reports that "close up to
20000000 are now on relief rolls It is preventing the business
upturn from making the inroads on unemployment that the New
Dealers expected" And that "relief is as grave and far-reaching
problem today as it was a year ago" as shown by feder'l reports
The Report shows 92182 on work-relief and 43635 on federal Dole
n Oklahoma The $4-billion work-relief only lasts till election
s THEY HAVE DOUBLED THE DOLE LIST
Thus after 3 years of Roosevelt there are 10000 more peolpe
on relief than he reported at the time he began Since that 20-
million report was given out the President secured from Congress
a $1500000000 appropriation "for relief to the end of 1937"
FOUR millionaires assembled and— operated the G 0 P State
Convention and ignoring my proposition they merely said That
"The hungry shall be fed" Mat is that Different from This—

No party has so far shown a way of Stimulating popular Indus
