Mr.. Wakefield: I'VE could easily
verify it by inquiring at the Inter
Island company; and see if they have
charged for Is OF. copper or not
Mr. Mccarthy; IF they charged
for IS OF. and gave 16 or, the Inter.
Island company and not ord.Young

Mr.. Richley: Every sheet that
came out CT the lnter-lsland office
was marked with white chalk IS or"
Mr.. Wakefield: Il would like to
ask Mr.. Rfchley if in the examina
tion 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 would be
blurred, but We could see the one
very plainly" "
/ Mr.. Richley: 81 want to say that

of the piles thrown overheard until
came to see them. | had to go down
TO the country Saturday. and when

Spoke to Agasy. -....~. l..
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. 1 gave Mr.. Hunt fnstruc-
tions to begin at the street and work
lin to examine all the piles; but he
went contrary to those orders and
went right straight to the cluster
piles and found the Is OF. copper.
can't understand that Neither can
II understand why Agasy should want
to try to hold up and spoil the work
by putting in 10 OF. copper on about
five piles. | can't understand why
he did it. There would not be $50
saved by doing it"
i Mr.. McStocker: Are there any
Iother questions you want to ask Mr..
/ 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"
Mr.. Wakefield: lid you copper
tthose?"
| Mr.. Wakefield: do you know
anything about the copper used on
those piles?"
Mr.. Herley: mo sir"
Mr. Wakefield: "The only five
piles that you actually coppered
were the cluster piles?"
Mr. Herley: Il don't know wheth-
ler there were or s, but / only cop
ipered that one cluster"
Mr.. Wakefield: 1T seems to me
very important, Mr.. Chairman, to
have the matter thoroughly investi-
gated to know exactly what copper
was used all through the work; and
/ would move that committee be
iappointed by the chair to make an
Investigation and report ito =. the
board as soon as possible"
! Mr.. Mccarthy: Il second the mo-
ton" The motion was put to a vote
and unanimously carried.
Mr.. McStocker accordingly APP
Ipointed Commissioners Wakefield
and Mccarthy as such committee.
i Mr.. McStocker: THANK you, Mr..
Herley; the committee will probab-
! " call for you later"
Mr.. Herley: ANY time you want
me you can telephone me at 1885,
Mr.. McStocker: did you want to
! cay something more to the board, Mr..
Richley?"
Aaasy Defended.
Mr.. Richley: 'The only thing !
wanted to say was that ! don't be-
| lieve that Mr. Agasy is guilty of try
ing to beat the commission. These
men, Hereby and Hunt, we're cop
pering those piles. j 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
their work So it looks to me like a
job was put up on those five piles for
Mr.. Agasy and myself. That is to
he honest. / don't care to defend
Mr. Agasy either; but from what deal
ing l have had with him don't think
he would tie up job for $25 or $50.
AS ldT DIS MI. I10IISI 5lISCildHlCdi
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
lis work, and do you think he was
giving good attention to that work
while you were absent?" ........
Mr.. Richley: "Oh. yes.s He was ia
miliar with the copper fork long be-
fore he got on that wharf. He says
there was nothing but Is OF. went on
that wharf and / don't think you will
find any except on that one cluster"

Engineering company, said this morn

ounce copper by mistake from the In
ter-Island Company. s.
