gained by LAYING that resolution on the
table and delaying work in the light
department another month? The truck
is bought and we've got to pay for 1t.
Other departments buy what they need
in the way OF supplies. What is the use
Of chewing the rag and getting into the
papers?" :,

the papers. / haven't been unfair or IN
just to any Of the commissioners in this
whole matter but | am not in favor OF
doing business in that way"
