read, showing that the overseer (
*
of the ci;y gang and for the
sUeet railway gang was paid
partly by the city and party by
the company during the time of
the joint overseership. With
reference to the use of earth it
was shown that the ten or twelve
loads hauled by the city were
used for the benefit of the rail
way Co., with the consentof the
city engineer, and his reason
for so doing was that the city
had received a much greater'
amount of cinder from the Straet
Railway company for use on
city, crossings. Both actions were
taken for the purpose of prevent
ing delay in street and sewer
work by the city, which delay j
would have caused loss to it.
