Tie object Of this inquiry to GET the terms which
COles agreed perform a certain contracts and whether
these conditions had taken the shape Of formal contract
in the form OF proposition accepted BY the CITY
Inspector could be very essential TO the object which

The testimony of the highly respectable witnesses before
referred to- whose afdavs embraced IN Nos 81 10 20
inclusive clearly demonstrates that these three nes
to sixteen thousand eight hundred uoat an
pualy cover payments for which the City receives 10
equivalent and are monstrous fraud ON the Cy ieas
