members of the board is that they are
! ready to investigate the official con-
duct of Electrician Turner, if the
fharges are sufficiently serious.
we have evidence that Mr.. Turner
fas endeavored to discriminate
bganst certain products. that in sew
fral important matters he has acted
solelv from prejudice and that he has
f1ceeded his authority to q ridiculous
begree,' said Mr.. Chambers.
Bars Metal Moidlns.
The fact speak for themselves.
Turner attempted to bar metal
knoI5ing, a product OF the National

FOR the wiring of the Hurt Building.
ON November Turner wrote a

WAS practically complete. On Novem-
