support of his charges Professor
Marsh alludes to the contract for the
last fiscal year and argues that it was
tainted with fraud from its inception.
The contract, it appears. was awarded
to j. X. Foreman, who was the lowest
bidder, and who complied with all the
published requirements, but subse-

assigned to w. A. Paxton. i'm order
