ported that the loan from the alley

thought the city should use it. as it
owns it. He moved that the Superin-

vantage of any other contestants
He moved that no tests be allowed to
be made except in presence of the Chief
Engineer.
Kent said the city is buying coal at
retail, like a one-horse concern. He
thought the tests should be made be-
