On
that

the
Prince
John
put
a
line
on
the
Cardena
and
pulled
full
speed
ahead,
while
the
Car-dena's
engines
went
full
astern,
but
all
they
could
do
was
to
swing
the

slightly
sideways
as
she
floated
aft
and
remained
firmly

the

forward.
Blasting
operations
were
then
resorted

In

an

Aid.
Prudhomm
pointed
to
inefficiencies
he
had
found
In
the
public
works
of
the
city
after
his
election
as
an
alderman.
Men
were
being
given
relief
work
who
did
not
need
and
were
not
entitled
to
It.
Rock

through
the
rock
crusher
was
hauled
on
to
the
streets
and
then
hauled
back
to
the
crusher
and
put
through
again.
He
had
been
told,
on
taking
these
matters
up,
that
city
work
could
not
be
handled
like
private
work.
Many
other
things
had
come
up
that
convinced
him
that
city
work
was
cost
ing
a
great
deal
too
much.
Such
was
the
condition
of
affairs
as
left
by
Mr.
Newton,
who
now
sought
-e-electIon
as
mayor.
Neither
system
nor
loyalty
was
in
evidence
In
any
part
of
the
work.
And
he
did
not
know
that
matters
were
much

today.

his
efforts
and
finally
a
committee
was
appointed
"to
investigate
certain
complaints."
The
findings
of
that
committee,
however,
had
been
already
made
up
and,
notwithstanding
the
fact
that
the
evidence
showed
clearly
that
the
citv
was
not
getting
the
best
value
for
its!
money,
the
department
was
completely
exonerated.
Members
of
the
council
had
gone
around
raying
that
Prudhomme
-was
a
troublemaker,
that
he
had
something
atnst
some
Individual
and
that
he
desired
to
satisfy
some
personal
prejudice.
He
could
say.
however
that
his
desire
had
been
to
get
the
best
for
the
money
of
the
taxpayers.
The
result
of
the
whole
thing
had
been
that
he
was
removed
from
the
pub-
works
committee
at
the
first
of
the
year
and
placed
on
the
utilities
committee.
Ratepayers
ProtesH
Then
In
May
the
money
bylaws
were
submitted
to
pay
for
work
that
had
already
been
carried
out.
He
had
opposed
the
passage
of
those
bylaws
as
a
protest
against
the
manner
In
which
the
city's
money
was
being
wasted.
It
had
been
a
matter
of
great
encouragement
Xor
him
that
the
ratepayers
had
accepted
his
advice
and
voted
so
emphatically
against
the
bylaws.
Soon
if
ter
this
the
council,
though
the
chairman
of
the
Board
of
Works
had
declared
that
no
reorganization
was
proposed,
had
asked
for
the
resignation
of
the
city
engineer.
He
was
