the Broadway franchise bribery.
The Commercial Advertiser publishes
three columns of an interview with Waite,
calling it his confession. The substance
of the statement is that a. a reward for his
ser vices in securing the election of Kirk as
President Of the Aldermen in 1884 he has
been given the privilege of appointing a
railroad committee. He appointed such
men as he knew he could easily control.

voted on the Franchise bill just as he
dictated. The ex-Alderman claims he did
all this out of pure friendship for Jim, and
that he (Waite) never got a dollar. He
mentions q number of Aldermen who he
thinks did receive money. But he makes
no positive statement. Waite finally ac-
knowledged that his interest in getting
the Broadway Franchise bill through was
stimulated by q promise OF the Fire Com
~missionership.
