Paid Monthly

Borgnaes did not leave the city when the 1892 audit was completed in 1883, the witness stated. He also stated that the Kingsley Company, instead of being paid annually, as other companies were paid, was paid monthly.
 Purcell said that a room in the basement of the City Hall was as- signed to Borgnaes. He said that in 1892 Ion one occasion Leary called me down to his ofiice and told me I was giving too much information to Borgnaes-too much detail. l re- minded him that that was his in- struction to me in earlier years-so that the accountants would not have to remain too long on the job"
 Following the mention of the names of the contractors and law yers who had alleged received un- sanctioned payments from the city Purcell said that he complained to Leary many times relative to things which were irregular. He was shown a copy of the city charter which, in Section 99. states that the Resource Sinking Fund was not to be used for payment of current bills.
 He said that the fund. durins the Hayes-Leary administration was used for that purpose.
