When Mr. office be found the pay Tolls for the twoor three preceding months unpaid, and the work suepended. He examined the centract with great particularity, and then sent for the con- tractor, Gilbert Dow dead. He said to Bim: +I bave examined this contract with great care, and finding your pay rolls nere properly, parties authorized to lo 80, 1 have the Register to draw a check to honor this pay roll for this month. Now, Mr. Oameron. you push that buiidii through with the greatest alacrity, and 1 will gee you paid every month. Assoen as you finish tat building and the official inspection has been bad, and you present your pay roils, 1 will Pay you every cent;” and he did e month; nd when the last pay roll came, Mr. James M. Carhsle drew the final and full receipt, and the burlding was turned over to the cor, tion without a cent extra ry ord any- thing, because no man on face of the earth could geta cent extra out of him for anything, unless it was justly due. There was an in- steuce of where money was raised by a Mayor on his private note to pay the corporation con- tract tor. At the instance of Mr. Barrett: Q. You state in your answer that there was 3 clause in the contract calling for payments monthly for work done. Was it customsry in all contracts for doing work tor the corpuration to insert & clause that the payments should bemade monthly, or at any other stated times? A. That depended upon the nature of the work entirely. That contract I referred to was one for the building of the Almshouse, and the contractor had to have a clause im the contract stating how he would get his meney. He paid his men by * he month, and unless the corporation paid him by the month he could not pay his men. Q. Well, in contracts for the improvement of streets wa: any such clause as that in any of them, to y owledge! A. No, sir; Ido not a regard to requirii ua bids for improvements in streets! A. All stroct improvements are to be advertised for ten days im the public papers. The law says at least ten days in one or more papers published in the city of Warbington. Q. Dia you ever Enow a Mayor to let ont streets by private contract since that law was passed requiring the avertismg? A. The ad- ‘vertisement states that the Mayor will reserve to himself the right to ail bids, and order the work to be done by days labor, if he thinks an advantage will accrue tothe city thereby, or he mad OPATRES: _ This the law permits him to do. Q. Do understand that question to be an- swered directly, that you uo not knew of the Mayor's letting any contracts privately since the Inw was passed for the grading ot streets? A. 1 presume that Mayors have done that, convinced that it would be for the inter- eat of the Co! ion. Let the instance, certain joints, aNd then it became necessary, in order Ay protect that work, to have another square of tne same street |, & law Raving been for that purpose, the Mayor may have, in such & case, ordered the continuation of the ‘work on that square. I guess occasions have occurred where the Mayor has given that ad- ditional square to the contractor doing the other work, and at the same price. Such an in- stance as that may have occurred. At the mstance ot Mr, Stanton:— 4). State whether, in matters having peculiar Teference to the Surveyor’s office, it was not the custom of the Mayors under whom you served to defer considerably to the proiessional and official opinions of the City Surveyor! Well, all the Mayors under whom { servea. while they had great deference for the opinion of theCity Surveyor in matters of this kind, yet generally on their own judgment. (2. 1 do not mean that they were controlled by it; but did not such opinion have great weight ith the Mayor! A. I shouid think t0. . 1 understood you to state that the dis- tinction between an estimate for work done with a view to payment on account, and a bona sce estimate with a view to 8 final settle. ment, Was observed by the Mayors—was re- cognized! A. I stated that. The Mayoral w: being certam that the money he was paying was under an act which had the ‘ds of the Ci 96 of Mr, Q. What is the law in ity two 'y Council; that more ‘work bad been done than the amount ot money asked for,and thathe was nq exceeding the appropriation. (.. This estimate, as I understood you to say, {s rather more specific than most of the esti. mates that have come under your observation? A. Yes, sir; it 18 a Jittle more specific. 1 will tell you why.
