Prudhomme and I finally ruled that the mayor might answer. The mayoe rtplkd'tfot he was in the City Hall at lesJl twice a day and sometimes thjjSfcor four times. Many matters same up, some of importance and others not so important and sometimes it was impossible to remember just what occured. He did not remember whether or not this had come up in the Hoard of Works. He recollected, however, that the engineer had told him that a retaining wall was necessary, the property owners finally .v-rofcintf to the piers in lieu thereof. The mayor said that he thought Aid, rrudbomme was incorrect when he said that he (the mayor) had warned the engineer against proceeding with the work in this manner. The- mayor corroborated the statement which had been made at I previous ses sion by the engineer in the mat Prince Rupert. The estimated cost was 17c per square foot. He admitted that it would cost more here on account of fills,, etc. but he contended it cost too mui.

There was a lengthy shown. He thought Aid. Prudhomme had been satisfied. The engineer told of how he arrived at progress sheet, figures which were bound to vary from time to time as charges and credits came in. The engineer asserted, up to now, he had always come out with a credit on his estimates and so far this year was $8,000 or $9,000 to the good. On concrete sidewalks, however, he believed he would run over his estimates on the whole. Interference Alleged In the matter of concrete side walks. Mr. McLean said circumstances had come up that made it impOHslble to properly estimate beforehand. There were chadjrefc In specifications, weather conditions and the men had been in terfered with.

Prudhomme stated that he had no further questions to ask the mayor. "I am being placed in such a position," rsmarked Aid. PrudJnmme, "tht 1 do not see much use of going a'.-.ead under the circumstances." He con- ttftte nen instructed differently from '.he instructions he had given. Led on with questions, the engineer alleged that Aid Prudhomme had gone on the job ami Interfered. "It disorganized the " ork to have some one butting in behind cm- back." said Mr. Mc-'iern.

What Prudhomme Said In the course of his testimony, Mr. McRae alleged that Aid. Prqdhomme had told him that two Inch slabs were sufficient in Prince Rupert and that the surface dre.ini could be put on with a kab.oniine brush. "Do you me.n to say that you would stand there and declare I told you that?" asked Aid. Prudhomme. Mr. McRae " I would swear it on oath." Aid. Prudhomme " And I can quite expect it of you." Mr. McLean was asked to measure and inform the committee how much concrete had been produced on the east side of Sixth Street between Second and Third Avenues in which work it was admitted 330 sacks of cement had been used. V. Bas3o-Bert asked to be heard by the commission in the matter of evidence he had given the night previous.
