'It looks to "me as though the board 'realized that it would not be in office very much longer and decided to make the most of this opportunity. A member of the board called me up on the telephone this morning and asked me to repair a leak In a water main, but I informed him that so long as the present crooked council was in office that I would not do anymore work for the village. , Jay TIMES 'Wan Right. I used to think that The Times was wrong in its crusade against the village officials of West Hammond. . I thought it hurt the town and I did not . where any good could be accomplished. Now I am convinced that The Times was right and I believe that while the town has been given some unfavorable advertising that the best thing that can be done is to clean out the present gang and elect a new one that will be on . the level. -I have had enough of them." v The contract is not a large one, but Campbeil did not propose, to be beaten out, of it after he won the right, to It by his low bid.

Another Raw. Deal. But this was not the worst part of the transaction. Although ' -John J. Brehm was over 8690 above W. F. Brunt on the contract for the water' mains, the village board attempted to award him the contract. There was another protest from the Interested property owners. But Brehm proved to be above such tactics. He made a speech in which he said tbat in view of the fact that Brunt was the low man he thought he ought to be awarded the contract. He said that if Brunt had not been a "responsible contractor he might have thought the board would be warranted in giving him the contract, but he said that Brunt was not only thoroughly responsible, but he had the equipment with which to do the ' work and he thought the contract ought to go to him. The board could do nothing else but give Brunt the contract after Brehm had been manly enough to take that stand. Those who are interested In property in West Hammond are glad that a few weeks more will see'the end of the reglmo of men who have been ovei-loojking no opportunities to dip their fingers into the pockets" of the people. The opinion Is unanimous that the work of the board in the letting of these contracts was the most brazen they ever saw. THE TIMES MERIT THE ACHIEVED. 19 THTISO SUCCESS HARD T9 IT HAS V?

The board informed the remonstrators that it is ready t act in accordance witft the wishes of the majority of the resident property who are affected by the proposed improvement.
