I declined to give up to Mr. Crowley said books aad papers for several reasons, one of which is that ] have yeceived no oficial notice from you to do so. I bave no knowledge officially wat Mr. Crowley is Commissioner of the Fuarth Ward. I bave not seen bis commission, aad do not Know that bis name has been sent to tbe Board of for confirmation. When you and Mr. Crowley comply with custom and the law im this matter, I shall be pleased to turn over every tning belonging to the Corporation now im my possession, ex- cepting one book. contsiaing an acconat of orders given sundry parties in favor of said laborers; this boos ing the only evidence now i my possession of any ess by the men for orders. Another reason is that sbeut six weeks ago you instracted Mr. J. Sayles Brown. in my presence, to disregard the Orders, amounting to about $1.00), that 1 been obliged to give tue Fourth Ward iaborers to Keep them from starving in consequence of X ur having paid $12.40 of the Fourth Ward ‘unds to James R. O’Beirne & ©>. in plain vio- on oflaw. 1 addressed you @ note abont two weeks ago asking if you still adhered to that decision, but up to this time have received no reply. By your silence I inter that you sul! intend to carry out that policy. Those orders were given ana accepted im goo! faith, and i teet ; and I do not intend to allow the only evidence of braving given said orders to go out of my possession until they are paid. Another reasov is that I have received information from a reliable source that you have recently stated that you would not pay my salary. Now, im order to take away any excuse you might possibly be able to give for not Paying the laborers in tne Fourth Ward, I have sent to you, by hand of Mr. A. M. Green, the time-book as given to me by the foreman, which coniainsa correct statement of the number of days’ work per- formed. You will learn by these books whether the number of days’ work certified to by me on the pay-rolls is correct. I bavealso sent, by the same '¥.& book containing coupon pesk cmganee ot the orders given. By adding up the gross amount of these orders, you will be able to determ: whether the amount of orders charged to the men on the new pay-rolls is correct. You now have all the information on the subject that can possibly be of service to you, or that it is in my power to give you; an every bour’s delay in paying the men the Tesponsibility will rest with you, and with you stone, and 1 intend that you shall shoalder it, Do not deceive yourself with the idea that by this trick you will be able to make me unpop- iar with the men, or tarn the attention of the Public from the in vestigation into your official gouduct which 18 mow goiug on at the City Hall. ‘The laborers of the Fourth Ward do not need to be told who is their frend, and I think both they and the community at large are veginning to understand who is their enemy. 1 have beard it hinted that you intend to pre- fer charges against myself.
