Many Of your readers no doubt have seen
by the proceedings of City Council, at Its last
meeting, that Thomas A. johnson had lodged
q complaint with that body against the COM
missioners of the Almshouse for the awarding
of the contract for furnishing that Institution
with beef to one of their brother commission
ers, at six cents per pound, over his bid OF
four cents per pound, and that said board of
commissioners stated to Council their reasons
(not publshed) why they did not give the
contract.to Johnson, and ask that Council up
proue Of their action. Approved.
sFacts are stubborn things" We know
that there is reason for the course adopted
as given in the proceedings Of Council, con-
sequently let the public know why George
Shrewsbury gets six cents per pound for fur
nlshlng meat rather than to have given 1t to
Thomas A. johnson, at four cents per pound.
