Dry Law Takes Profit
Out Of Ash Removal
Contractor Tells Estimate Board
He Finds No More Beer
Bottles tn Sell

: William F.. Donovan, president Of
the Brooklyn Ash Removal Company,
which has been the only bidder on the
contract for the removal of ashes in
Brooklyn for thirteen years said yes
terday at the Board of Estimates in
'estigation into city contracts that re-
moving ashes was far less profitable
than before prohibition.
The profit lay in the sale of rubbish
that could be reclaimed, he said, and a
large part of the rec'aimable rubbish
used tc be beer bottles. Now there
were practically no beer bottles, he
said and not much use in reclaiming
those that we're found. Tin cans were
reclaimed and converted. he said, but
into what>he did not know.
He denied that his company had paid
any money to any one to get the ash
"emoval contract or that any money
had been demanded for that purpose.
A statement which Thomas V. Patter-
son, president of The Scranton and Le-
Nigh Coal Company, Of Brooklyn. made
shortly before his death three weeks
ago was read into the record. He said
that coal dealers generally did not care
20 bid on city contracts because they
we're awarded each year in competition
and coed will went for nothing.
statement by Patrick Jones, super
ntendent of supplies of the Board of
Education, also was read into the rec
ord. He said that the clty's purch asing
method was less efficient than that Of
arge corporations which retained ex-
pert fuel engineers and chemists.
