 question from Commissioner Jones, Mir Mcconnell said that during the past two months he had seen teams coming from the direction of the ere matory loaded with garbage.
 Charles Hutchins had no objection to Mr Carroll if he would stop giving garbage to a man named ROwley from Greystone. He hauls 1t in a wagon that would not hold hay and as re suit the streets are filtered. This busi- ness was going on, he said, during Mir Rigney's time, and when he called at- tention to 1t he was informed that he got it because he was a poor man.
 Wonder you never complained be- fore" chimed in Dr Mcdonald.
 T never had chance to- replied AIr Hutchins. Il would have made trouble, though, during Mir Rigney's time if I hadn't sold land which 1 owned near the crematory.'
 Who invited you to come here to- day?' asked Commissioner Mcdonald.
 T don't know as I'm obliged to an- swer that question" said MT Hutch ins. in rather huffy tone.
 You're obliged to answer it, re- piled the commissioner in very pa- cific manner, which brought Mir Hutchins back to his usual good na- tured disposition and he replied that he was there at the request of Alder man Buck.
 This concluded the evidence and Mir Carroll was then. put to plea. Every body thought his attorney, Mir Kelley, who was present. would speak for the | contractor, but instead he told the story himself, and he did it well. He said that he never was allowed to en- ter the crematory until the-d day before he started on his contract. He was aware that he had contract to carry out and he was bound to do 1t we'll With this end in view he employed the foreman that had been running the plant for Mir Rigney and as many of his helpers as he could handle. He in- structed his foreman to have the work done in the usual way and never knew anything to the contrary until Health Officer Kilmartin called his attention to what was going on and then he went up there and put stop to the abuse. H. NJ. Rigney had been get ting enough of. the garbage to feed about thirty hogs. others who had been 1 accommodated there for years cOntin ued to do as they had been doing, but the moment he was made aware oi | the situat ton he sat down on it. The case at Frost's Bridge was one where he allowed two men who work fol him and live there to take home g team and had put some garbage 1T the bottom of the cart. This wat stopped, too. Mir Carroll then related a long story of his woes. and assum ing that he told nothing but the trutl 1t was plain that he is victim of per secution and by the time he get through he will wish he had nothing to do with the job. His barn has beer broken open. his horses turned Ou onto the railroad tracks, Paris greer l scattered over the grass, old rOunderi who made their headquarters in thu plant had to be fired" and the eye O the former contractor confronts hin every time he visits the premises. Nj Carroll spoke of how pleasant 1t wal to do business under Dr Frost ant Harry Moses and said it was his inten ton not to make any trouble for. th present officials. v
 After Mir Carroll had got througl the commissioners talked on the ques tions and all appeared to be of on mind, that the abuse was of lonl standing. although 1t had not beel brought 10 their notice before.
 The matter was finally disposed o by passing resolution warning NJ Carroll to stop letting people take gar bage from the crematory and that | 1t continues his contract will be takel away from him.
