quest from City Assessor Frasch for

take; the former application must be
lost, or something must be the mat.
ter.
The investigation was kept up and
some light has been thrown on the
matter. 1t seems, according to. Mr..

effect June LIST. He had no assistant,
the man in his Office. Sutor, being
employed by the city in making alb
stracts Of the city lots.
This application never was
reached nor was 1t read, be-
coming lost somehow. Mr.. Frasch
asked Alderman Guerguin about It
and that gentleman told him to put
the two assistants to work and the
application could come up and would
be passed. At the first meeting in
june the second application was
passed. The men had been put to
work by Mr.. Frasch on Mr.. Guer-
gums recommendation. The next
morning June Z, Mr.. Gregory handed
In his letter, and the next day called
and Mr.. Frasch told him he had the
men already at work since June 1st
and could not make room for his son.
Since that time he has had some ap.
plioations for the positions, one of
which came from Alderman Gregory,
who stated that his son would gradu-
ate from the High school June 18th
and would be at leisure for two
months, and he would like Mr.. Frasch
to take him. Monday afternoon after
council meeting Mr.. Gregory in
formed Mr.. Frasch that his applica-
ton had passed and he would bring
bis son around the next day. Mr..
Frasch was surprised and said he did
not now need the assistant. Then
the old gentleman sat down and wrote
the following letter to the city council:
