al agent for the pipe company, he
said he got $50 d month and sS per
cent. Of the gross profits, which netted
MIN quite q tidy sum last year because
of his ability To land city contracts.
The city, he said, was much the largest
of his customers, and he had the opin-
ion of Corporation Counsel Babson to
the effect that 1t was legitimate for him
10 continue TO make contracts with the
city while serving as alderman
Another interesting piece of testi-
nony was that Of William T. Cobb Of
the NJ. L. Cobb Coal company, who
said he secured from Maurice II Klous,
agent of the M, X. Niver Coal company,
a cargo Of Penn Mari coal which had
been billed to the city of Boston as
Georges creek coal Of the best quality.
He bought the coal for $3.40 a ton
and sold It to the American Sugar Re-
iining company for $3.50. The price Of
Georges Creek coal, best Of its kind,
was at that time Ss95, and the city,
ii it had got the cargo, would have
been charged for Georges Greek coal.
