TO come before the board this morning.

IS talked of the worse it would be, as Nc
Coy would probably bring his witnesses
TO prove what he said.

deferred for week. SO that Mccoy could
get his witnesses.
If McCoy reported correctly the board
should stand by him; ii he had reported
falsely he should be put out of the city's

McCoy had ordered cleaning up work
done, but head of department had
stood In the way and the work WAS not
done.

moned to attend.
