A representative of THE GAZETTE
saw William 4. Porter, president of the
Board Of Water Commissioners, Friday
morning, and asked him whether he
had heard of the existing state of affairs
at the filter. He knew nothing about
the trouble. The reporter then in
formed him OF the statements of Paxton
and Lang, and the admission of Pierce
that he had paid Inspector Solloway
money. 10 say that Mr.. Porter was
surprised is putting it mildly. He said:
"If the statements Of those men are
correct, Mr.. Solloway will have to get
out OF there. will tell you right now
| wont stand it. 1t has been the aim OF
the board to keep it out Of politics. l
have always told Chief Bond in en-
ploying men to get workmen without
regard to politics and Chief Bond will
tell you so. No, knew nothing about
the state of affairs out at the filter plant"

swell, you see it was this way. About
seven weeks ago doc" Andrews and l
were working down under the arch at
the filter. Andrews suggested that as ]
was getting $40 week | could give So
week to Solloway; that as | was a
member of the union was only allowed
to work nine hours day. II the union
heard of it would have to knock of
the extra hour, but if | continued to
work 10 hours why the other men would
be allowed to make 10 hours. Also, if
on the other hand they only worked
nine hours day they would lose 10
cents day, or receive $l.3o instead of
$l.50, the regular price for q days
work. Well, l didn't like this arrange
ment, but consented to give the money
to Solloway. So short time after
that | met Sulloway down under the
arch when no one was around and
handed him So. He thanked me and
said he thought it was nothing more
than right. | thought this kind of
funny but said nothing. kept paying
him SO a week for four weeks. would
hand the money to him down under the
arch each week after | got my wages,
although several days would sometimes
elapse after pay day before | handed it
to him. always hated to do 1t, but
didn't want to refuse. After | had paid
him So | heard of the stories going
around that Pierce was paying Sollo-
way money and the matter got up to
Republican headquarters. l then con-
cluded TO pay Solloway no more money;
He came to me about that time and said
that rumors were going about thatI was
paying him bride and he wanted to
give me due bill for the amount. L
refused to accept it, ] said | gave him
the money and never expected to get II
again, so / didn't want it or the due bill
