Just here we will state that Henry
Floersheim gets from the weigher Mt
the works a statement OF the cars un-
loaded and weighed every day. the
weigher sending him a postal with the
cars unloaded and the amount got out
OF every car. which enables the said
FIoersheim to check up and see wher-
ever there is a mistake in his favor or
not, and in the six years that we have
gone over the books we have only found
one time when there was any mistake
against Floersheim, and that was for
only one ton Of coal, and we have his
letter notifying the secretary to make
. that good In the next settlement. which
he did. But we have found where the
secretary. w II. Fee, has copied from
