came out OF the Inter.Island office
was marked with white chalk rs or. ;"
Mr. Wakefield: Il would like To-
ask Mr.. Richley if in the examina
ton he made CT the sheets he went
by the chalk marks or by the stamp.
Mr.. Richley: Sometimes the
stamps were blurred, so We could not
see the figures The 6 or s would be
blurred, but We could see the one
very plainly"
Mr.. Richley: Il want to say that

of the piles thrown overheard until
] came to see them. | had to go down
/ TO the country Saturday. and when
came up Monday morning they were
throwing them overheard. spoke to
Mr. Young about it and he said he
had forgotten all about it, so / could
not examine those five piles that
were thrown overheard during my abb
sence." .... . ..........
Spoke to Agasy.
About a month ago / heard that
there was Is OF. copper on there. !
wondered about it and spoke to Agasy
about it. He said he knew nothing
about it. gave Mr.. Hunt instruc-
tons to begin at the street and work
in to examine all the piles; but he
went contrary to those orders and
4 went right straight to the cluster
piles and found the 10 or. copper.
Il can't understand that. Neither can
understand why Agasy should want
to try to hold up and spoil the work
! by putting in IL OF. copper on about
five piles 1 can't understand why
he did it. There would not be $40
saved by doing it."
4 Mr.. McStocker! Are there any
Elother questions you want to ask Mr..
Il Herley?"
! Mr.. Wakefield: did you drive the
piles along the slip. Mr.. Herley?"
i Mr.. Herley: From the new por-
ton of the Queen street wall to the
corner
j Mr.. Wakefield: Did you copper
those?''
Mr.. Herley: NO sir"
4 Mr.. Wakefield: do you know
anything about the copper used on
those piles?" 49,.
Mr.. Herley: mo sir"
Mr.. Wakefield: 1.-The only five
piles that you actually coppered
. were the cluster piles?"
i Mr.. Herley: Il don't know wheth-
er there were 5 or 8, but l only cop
1pered that one cluster"
Mr.. Wakefield: 1T seems to me
very important, Mr.. Chairman, Ito
have the matter thoroughly investi-
gated to know exactly what copper
was used all through the work; and
II would move that committee be
appointed by the chair to make an
4 investigation and report to the
board as soon as possible.
\ Mr.. Mccarthy: Il second the mo-
ition.pt The motion vas put TO al vote
and unanimously carried.
j Mr. McStocker accordingly ap-
pointed Commissioners Wakefield
and Mccarthy as such committee.
j Mr.. McStocker: Thank you, Mr..
Herley; the committee will probab-
! ly call for you later"
| Mr.. Herley: Any time you want
me you can telephone me at 1885,
j Mr.. MeStocker: did you want to
| say something more to the board, Mr..
Richley?"
Agasy Defended.
j Mr.. Richley: ''The only thing /
wanted to say was that / don't be-
4 Iieve that Mr.. Agasy is guilty of try
ing to beat the commission. These
men, Hereley and Hunt, were cop
pering those piles. called Mr. Hunts
attention to the way the mailing was
being done and asked him why he
did such work as that OF course as
! far as Mr.. Agasy and / are concerned
they have had it in for both of US on
account of the fault we found with
i their work. So it looks to me like
job was put UP on those five piles for
Mr.. Agasy and myself That Is to
be honest. Il don't care to defend
Mr.. Agasy, either; but from what deal
ing / have had with him don't think
he would tie up a job for $25 or $30.
\ As far as Mr.. Herley's mechanical
work is concerned am perfectly sat
isfied with that; he did as good cop
/ pering as any one else could do"
| Mr.. Wakefield: The half-white
you have had inspecting the work,
have you found him very attentive to
Eis work, and do you think he was
giving good attention to that work
while you were ABSENT" II
! Mr. Richley: "Oh, yes, He was ia
miliar with the copper work long be-
fore he got on that wharf. He says
there was nothing but Is OF. went on
that wharf and l don't think you will
find any except on that one cluster"
