boro. The principal part Of the testi-
mony went to show what control the
trustees had over the purchases made
by the superintendent. He said the
Only article that the trustees had
special jurisdiction over was coal, and
he was perfectly satisfied that the
prices of coal paid by the institution
we're as low as.could be had anywhere,
even if purchased direct from the
mines The coal had been purchased
of the Elias Lyman Co of Burlington
for economical reasons.
He said although the trustees had
no supervision over the purchasing of
other supplies when auditing the ac.
counts he took pains to find whether
or not the prices as paid were as low
as could be had and thought would
compare favorably with prices paid by
other institutions. He never thought
the trustees had any cause to question
the quality OF goods as purchased by
Supt Marcello Hutchinson, or in re-
gard to prices paid. He also stated
that so far as he knew no trustee or
the superintendent ever received any
reward or favored any concern in or
