You applied TO the Commissioner OF

Yes. sir"

OF 1912"
"Yes." L
And that negotiation continued until

ala more work for them after that"
And did you get anybody to recon-

members Of this corporation. Mr.. Cox"
And the application was eventually
granted?"
Yes"
"when you came to get your fee. was
It si2.5oo?"
YES. SIR"
What was the reason you took a
smaller fee?"
THE men with whom dealt - the
first thing was. the period OF the lease
was cut. Those leases are based on the
amount OF the rental, and this il ten
year lease. and originally when we ap-
piled and tried to get dock we wanted
a thirty year lease, but on these smaller
reconstructive leases the policy OF the
Dock Department was to make short
term leases. and We were told we could
get a ten year lease
You got a ten year lease?"
That reduced 1t one-third."
You agreed to accept $12.5oo because
II was shorter lease?"
Yes; and 1 recall II would have been
a little moro than $4,000. and the man
! dealt with asked me II would call It
square at that with cut OF about
$500. I expected to get more business
from him."
