Last night the committee appointed by the board of public school trustees to investigate the charges preferred by Mr. Hart against ‘Mr. William Gu! , the contractor for farxishing coal to the schools, of giving short weight— Messrs. Harris, Khees, Champlin and Scott— met at the Franklin building. Mr. Harris was elected chairman and Mr. Rhees secretary. Mr. Hart conducted the examination for the rd, and Mr. L. G. Hine appeared for Mr. Guinand. ME. HART'S STATEMENT. Mr. Hart made a statement as to the charges: that in the first district seven loads of coal had been delivered, the tickets accompanying them calling for 2,240 pounds to the ton. All of these loads had been reweighed, and found to be 770 pounds, 1,800 pounds,’ 1, wands, 1,900 pounds, 1,950 ponnds, 2,050 pounds and 1,93) pounds, averaging 230 pounds short to the ton. ‘They had the slips which had been furnished, and all appeared to be signed by the weigher except those that came last, and they were un- signed. The party whose name is attached to them denies the signature, and his name is misspelt. The contract requires that all coal «ball be weighed bya Es weigher. He then read the act of the District legislature, passed August 25, 151. covering the case, and charged that the weigher pia) by Mr. Guinand was not a pubhie weigher and inspector of coal. ME. GUINAND’S STATEMENT. Mr. Guinand submitted a written statement that he was present for the purpose of meeting the charges. He would have preferred a trial instead of an be only as coutemplated by the resolution. He proposed to show that no attempt has ever been wade by himself or his employes to defraud the public schools, and that no gg | was committed, and would prove that, with his very large business, it is utterly impossible to prevent cases of negli- nee and carelessness from occurring. He had four clerks employed in as many yards, distri- buted throughont the city, and each one is sup- pe ito attend to the business of his own yard. f there has been any carelessness or ne; pigence on the part of bis clerks, Ihe stood ready as sume the responsibility; as to any criminality on their part they must assume that responsi- bility, and he sincerely hoped that they will ac- quit themselves of it. He had an ing faith = See: integrity, and truthfulness of all his clerks, Mr. Guinand, in concluding, said that as soon as he was apprised that there were complaints. he determined to investigate the matter and come before the committee on accounts on March 11, but being in the meantime very sick he was unable to attend the meetings of either the committee on accounts or of the board of trustees, The meeting with Mr. Hart having —e Saturday, and he having been taken sick Sunday evening, prevented any in- vestigation of the matter; but he took the pre- caution on Tuesday m to address a note r. E. #. French, asking @ postponement ot the matter at variance, demanding an in- vestigation by the committee on accounts— showing thereby that he courted an investiga- tion prior to any x oe the part of yd trustee at the meeting of board March ii, 13.
