Nothing

After

been

Aid.
Prudhomme
pointed
out
that
his
criticism
had
been
made
with
no
personal
animosity
against
the
city

As
an

and
member
of
the
Board

certain
'
matters

come
to
his
attention

he

It
was
finally
agreed
that
Mr.

Prudhomme
stated
that
it
was
not
his

to
draw

it

No

them.
Finally
the
matter
of
piers
under

in
the
vicinity
of
ihe
Empress
Hotel
was
proceeded,
with.
Mr.
McLean
explained
that
an
old

had
been
found
to

onto

Mr.

that

In

questions,

of

warning

that

had

After
a
conversatior
with

he
had

with

and
a

The
matter
had
been
taken
up
with
and
approval
by
the
Board

before
the
conversation.
Aid.
Prudhomme
insisted
that
the
engineer
had
gone
ahead
with

piers
in
spite
of
warnings.
"ine

had
threatened
to

On
this
point
Mr.

Kim-self
testified
that
a
client
had
asked
him
to
take
out
an
injunction
against
the
work
but,
when
it

that
the

was
for

xploded.
There
was
further
discussion
f
a
detailed
nature
as
to
how,
the
work
was
carried
on
at
the
point
in
question
and
in
other
places
and
it
was
decided
to
leave
the
matter
over
until
the
engineer
j
could
produce
certain
further
de
tails.
The
city
solicitor
will
also
be
asked
for
a
ruling
as
to
the
city's
responsibility
in
connection
with
retaining
walls.
Engineer's
Son
Regarding
the
employment
of
his
son,
Mr.
McLean
explained
that
for
a
long
time
he
had
been
confined
to
his
office
when
he
should
have
been
outside,
owing
to
the
fact
that
he
had
neither
an
assistant
or
a
clerk.
The
mayor
had
learned
of
this
and
luul
said
that
it
Was
not
fair
that
.should
be
doing
two
men's
work.
Thereupon,
the
Hoard
of
Works'
had
given
instructions
that
a
link
or
assistant
should
be
ad-!
!
vei
tised
for.
There
had
been
a
1
number
of
applications
Including
that
of
his
son.
When
the
bitter's
application
was
being
ronsidered,
he
asked
to
be
excused
from
the
Board
of
Works
meeting
and
stepped
outside.
One
man
was
picked
upon
but
he
did
not
prove
up
to
requirements
and
it
became
necessary
for
him
(the
engineer)
to
come
back
after
working
hours
and
do
his
work
over
again,
mistakes
were
so
frequent.
The
mayor
found
out
about
this
situation
and
advised
him
to
get
his
son
to
help
out.
The
boy
had
been
previously
helping
his
father
after
school,
without
pay,
so
knew
the
general
run
of
the
office.
The
engineer
'said
that
he
had
declined
to
have
his
son
on
the
payroll
until
approval
was
given
by
the
Board
of
Works.
The
result
was
that
the
mayor
had
brought
the
matter,
up
in
the
Board
of
Works
and
the
committee,
including
Aid.
Prudhomme,
had
sanctioned
the
boy's
name
being
put
on
the
payroll.
In
answer
to
Aid.'
Prudhomme,
the
engineer
insisted,
that
his
son
had
not
been
placed
on
the
payroll
until
the
Board
of
Works
had
approved
of
it.
"Why
