Hill had, in meeting some time ago, rec commended the purchase of the stone crusher from Connor Bros. at an inven- tory price of about $500. Commissioner Brown moved that this part of the min utes be stricken out, as Mir. Hill had not recommended the purchase of the crush CT, but had advised that this crusher be kept If the city intended to buy others and do the stone crushing. That MT. Hill had made such a recommendation as claimed by the minutes of the last meeting,cou1d not be found in the record, but the other five members were sure that .s Mir. Hill had SO recommended, and they voted against striking the words objected to by Mir. Brown from the minutes.
