Reese that Dion Keefe, one Of the

Warren company, and, to all intents
and purposes, had been but that his
time was charged up to the city, and
paid by the city.
Mr.. Reese said he did not remember
of any such agreement but Glasford

Mayor Kellough asserted he had

At the hearing yesterday Frank
Reese. local manager of the Warren

Mr.. Reese said that if the council
felt they should hold out even $4,000,
it would be perfectly satisfactory to
him as he was willing to settle on
any basis to clear up the matter. Yet,
