He has had a rather stormy time for the ten months he has been In office and for the Iaa(, few months has not been in good standing at the mayor's office The climax caniu two weeks ago, when he was forced to acknowledge that there was a $00,000 deficiency In his salary account. The Board of Estimate made this good, but the mayor Instructed Dr.

From the statements made by other witnesses it appears that the company charges the same rate for frontage .10 the city does, but the supply Is limited to 2.600 cubic feet.

On every additional hundred ruble feet the consumer must pay 10 cents. It is these additional hundreds of cubic feet which make the bills of the consumer so Louis Schmidt was another witness who hnd the same complaint to make as Mr. Trltschler.

Muccio. a countryman of Do-rando, keeps a bootblack parlor at 480 Court street, and at the first, race in the Madison Square Garden he bet a dollar that Dorando would beat Hayes.

Then he thought he would collect the 75 cents from Muccio.

but Muccio thought flames under control and three hiurs to extinguish them. Deputy Chief Duffy responded to the second nlarm and assumed charge until the arrival of Chief Lally.
