fierce struggles Of politics not less bit

already on the ground. Newmark had
the shadow Of right on his side, for he
applied for the charter on the basis Of
the river improvements already put in
by his firm. HeinZman wanted: the
improvements already existing con-
demned and sold as a public utility to
the highest bidder. He offered further
guarantees as to future improvements.
In addition were other and more po-
tent arguments proffered behind closed
doors. Many cases resolved themselves
into bald question of cash. Others
demanded diplomacy. Jobs, fat con-
tracts, business favors, influence, were
all flung out freely, brides as absolute

were pressed into service. Among
these delicate and complicated cross
