from President Buchanan, of the gas
board, requesting that the investigating
committee, OF which the doctor Is chnir-
man, return the papers still held which
had been taken from the archives OF
the board during the recent lnYestlga-
ton that ended in a declaration by the
committee that Henry Florshetrn, the
coal operator had been overpaid by the
board The doctor explained that he
had returned all the papers that he
thought were necessary, that the ones
still held by the committee were not
needed In sSy expert Investigation that
might be conducted, and that the CONF
mIttee wanted instructions as TO It's
future movements.
Mr.. George B. Caldwell, OF Caldwell
& Caldwell, who are representing Flor
sheim. was present and at the sugges-
ton OF DR.. Taylor, was given the oppor-
tunity to speak He said Mr.. Flor
sheifn had put an expert accountant Mt
work In the gas board office in an EFFORT
to discover whether or not he Is In
debted to the city OF Wheeling, as'ls
claimed. The. accountant wanted all
the papers bearing on the matter ana
for that reason Mr.. Buchanan had made
the request to Or. Taylor for the papers
still retained by the investigating COM
mittee.
,Dr Taylor said his committee was
not trying to hold back anything, but
he could not see the necessity of CIV
ing up the papers now held by the COM
mittee, as they would In no way aid an
accountant in bis Investigation.
Mr.. Fair moved that the matter OF
giving up the papers in question be de-
cided by the committee. This prevail
