The committee had a good laugh when
Mr. Burke told OF attending a Bltmore

by the Board of Water Commissioners
and that at the hearing 81 threw my
shield on the table and they put a one
armed man in my place.
He said he couldn't take a place on
the New York police force at $500 be-

him a half million dollar bride fund.
THAT is so absurd 1t would insult the
