HANS :. BEATTIE, Commissioner.
The inclosure was copy OF the same plOliX state
ment sent BY Mr.. Beatte to the newspaper Offices
Tuesday night
Tho Mayor did not send reply TO the ex-COm-
mssioners dreary defence. It's hardly necessary,
think he said with Of his most pleasant smiles.
lie declined TO talk further about Mr.. Beattie, except
70 say, "There viii be no appointment to-day

tle stand and swear 10 the flsity of those Health
oATd reports but of course, told them that couldn't
be as eVen the Commissioner couldn't be heard. But
the daily reports received from special inspectors
SHOW how false these Health Board reports are. Why
cont you know that the men uptown. the foremen,
the dumpmen, and all the rest. holding ndigGa-
were going 70 have trouble"
