Cd larceny Of $4l5.3s. IN connection with
paving block transactions with the city,
BIZ means OF alleged padding Of bills,
were given preliminary hearing IN

yesterday, as a result Of which Snow
was found probably guilty and bound
over to the grand jury under $4,000

was OF documentary nature and
showed that the number Of paving blocks

four hundred upwards more than the
number ON the corresponding records Of
Burtis A. Pease, quarry owner of Mil

purchased the blocks, and the Boston
Il Maine railroad records, the quarry
and railroad records agreeing in every
