Board f A. January, 1865. y. What number of

they meet twice a niontn, exclusive of special
lueetines. The member of the Hoard are divided
Into three Standing Committees: Finance,

Ninth and Dmnoud treets. l'Ue main ollicc is
in Seventh street, above Cliesnut. There Is also
an office in Frimklord, (it rmauiowti, and Spring
Onidtrj HaJl.
C. How many persons are employed at the
dilleretit stati'mis! A. From mil) to 1000, I
thiiik: but I will give the list at the next meot
inu; the prlneipul ollicer ure elected by the
Trustees; tne laborers are appointed by the
Engineer, on the recom riicnd.it ion of TrtwtcvB,
or a member of Council-); tue Euv;ineer is re-q-tired
to report at every meeting ot the Board
tii" number of nicu employe. I, the number dig
cliarucd, and the cau.-e tor ihe diichurtre; the
Knpineer has no unlliontv to employ without a
rtioniiiieiKlatioii ol the Trustees, except to till
a vacancy in caw of cineipeticy. If the Chair
man on Works should dir-'ct him to employ
extra men to unload ciuh, the Trust would
function it. If the Chief Kuiruieer says it Is
requisite to have men, thev are obtained, and
he only report to the Hoard; he is responsible
for the number employed.
Q. Cun you tell the amount of coal furnished
the works since jon have been President' A.
1 will make tho tt.itement at the next meet ins.
The Engineer has generally sent to the didercut
parties furnishiiifr coal, requesting bids, when
coal was needed. He has been directed to go to
parties when no bids were sent in. He, the wit
ness, could not say whether any competition was
as-ktd tor by advertisement. He thought an ad
vertisement was inserted in the papers in Pitts
burg. The Westmoreland and Pennsylvania Cual
Company had a contract for three years, and
they were lilhnir it when he (air. Jones) became
a member ol the Hoard, two years aeo. Subse
quently a contract was r.vcu to William B.
Hays, which has since been transferred to the
Sliaiton Coal Company. Atterv.ards a contract
was made with the Cameron Coal Company, of
Kew York, an1 a com puny ot New York, called
Westmoreland and New York Coal Company. The
Westmoiclund county coal has always been con
sidered the bent in the State; the Pennsylvania
and shalton conies from the tamo vein. The
contracts are in wriiine. A vote of the whol
Hoard makes the contract. Proposals are
handed in and read openly at the Board. Wit
ness could not tell the number of men required
at the Point Breeze Work bat could furnish
them at the next meeting of Conitniltee.
Mr. William K. I'ark is the Assistant Engineer;
John lieckindortf has charge of the Market
Street Works; A. Meyers at Spring Garden; nnd
John Baker at Manayunk, and all are under
the control of the Chief Engineer. Witness
could not tell whether there had been any sur
plus of hands at the Point Breeze tVorks.
At one time it appeared there were more
yard hands than was necessary: but on calling
the attention ot the Assistant Engineer to the
fact, they were discharged; this, to the witness'
knowledge, did not occur at any of the other
works; could not tell how many had been dis
chareed. The Engineer was directed, tioon after
Mr. Park went to the works a little over a year
ago to curtail the eipeuses as much as pos
MDle. He did not know of hands beinsr
kepton the pay-roll when there was nothing
for them to do; when the retorts are taken
down, the hands leave vntil they are put up
again; iron and clay retorts arc used; at Point
Breeze they are all iron. ,
The Trustees were led to believe that clay
retorts were the cheapest, and the Board is now
haviug a building put up for clay retorts; are
now putting three ciay retorts to a bench and
live iron ones. SHlnman & Ellis supplied
retorts when witness became President. At
present Fulton & Co., Morris, Tar-leer fc Co., and
Mr. Oram are furnishing them. The clay retorts
were purchased in New York; could not tell
the amount expended for retorts without rc
ierrinir to books; requests were sent to all the
large foundries asking them to send bids, and
the contracts were made by the Board, an i they
are all in writing. The couli actors at present
are Morris, Tusker & Morris and Mr. Oram.
Stilcman fc Ellis had the com met when witness
became President; they made a bad retort at
the time, which was a loss to them; knew no
thing ahout the stop-cock boxes; Mr. Cresswell
lias uirnisncd most of the c,st ngs for the tops
ot them; the Trust is supplied with meters
irom all the meter works in the city; a resolu
tion was passed by the Bo-ird directing that
eacn estauiisnmcni suouia nave tneir propor
tion; there had been complaints that some
manufacturers got more than others, and hence
the resolution; tli prices are unitortn; the tire
Dries are purcnaseci n.y me uinct tiuineer; no
ym uls are opened lor them; a number of
parues have been tiiruiahiag inera; the bills for
the brick are examined every mouth; all bills
are referred to the appropriate committees, in
dorsed tirst by the Chief Eiieineer, and theu by
a majority of the Committee; they are tlitn
passed by the Board, and utter they are paid
they are examined by the President of the
Board; the sub-conuuittees are supposed lo
examine the bills alter beiuir indorsed by the
Chief; bills have been laid over and returned
lor correction.
0. l)o you know of any Trustee, agent, or em
ployesut tke Works beiicj iiitL-rebted, directly or
indirectly, tn any contract tor co.ti or other un
plies to the Works? A. I kuo .v ot nunc. y. Do
you know whether any ot t;ie present or former
members ot the Hoard ot trustees are luteresln
in any coal company that luruihes the Works
with coal? A. I have heard that some ol the
lorincr Trustees weie iutere-.ted in the Pennsyl
vania Coal Company, and I have heard of n
Trustee, now in the Bour 1, h iving stock: in th e
the 1
yere
Shattou Coal Company. 4!,0U0 tons ot eoul we
purchased irom the Cameron Coal Compa
Due ol tne omcers oi tue company trom New
York neeottated the contract for the
coal; he (the agent) otlcivd to lurmsh
it lor lt-sp than coal could be obtained :
irom the Pennsylvania or Westmoreland, and
that wa the reason he uot the contract. The agent
introduced himself to the Board. The price
paid lor it was about $9 or Sjpii-oU per ton; there
was no agent in this city representing the C.t'ue
ron Coal Company; wheu they commenced to
deliver the coal they employed liobcrt S. Garri
son, of this city, us an asrent. The coal his
been reported as good by the empluyes of the
Trust Nathan Ililles, a member of the Board,
and in the coal buniness, says it is good, though
it looks bad; the Engineer has been docking the
company ten per cent, when the coal is deli
rrdet; it is generally mixed with harder
r Tul wheii ?" i8 mii(i0' The Chief Engineer or
assistants could ttiS P11 lUc lulonuatluu nece
eary in reference to it. ,.,;
Q. Do you know whethel any of the Trustees
liave occupied or appropriated any property
belonging to the trust for their own use? A. I
lo not, with but one excepiion; a step ladder
vi as sent to mv house, without my knowledge,
and I directed the Ens-iuefr to have It taken
away. Q. Do you know whether any of the
Trustees have been paid for services rendered as
Trustees? A. 1 know of no case, except the one
reported upon by the Committee on Law of
Councils. Q. Do you know of any member ot
Councils who is interested iu any &ale or contract
for supplies, or receiving niouey from the Trust ?
A. I have known members of Councils to fur
nish tne Trust with materials and supplies. I
retiised at one time to si en a bill held by Mr.
Crefswell, a member of Council, but when the
rr.nrt decided that the Gas Trust was not a
Department of the city, the hill wis paid.
r What material is now turntshed oy mem
hers of Councils? A. Casting and leather
Luuds. O. Lo jou consider the Chief Euiaeer
conif ctent for the position ? A. I led adelicacy
in miswering tho question, as ne was not my
choice at the time he was elected; I believe him
to be honest. O. Do the B lard have entertain
ments at their meetings? A. At every meeting
they have something to nt aud to drink, and a
ciear, a ctif-tom that has been lonj in voue;
Mr. ProBser supplies the edibles; could not tell
how much the ieeds or cigars cost annun.ly;
have no knowledge of any caucus of the mem
bers of the Board being held at Poiut Breeze on
Sunday; he thought the Works were economi
cally managed; a number of hands that vere
considered useless have been discharged; don't
Know oi any aoiiscs at tne pre.-ent nine; lacre
were home, but they have been rectined.
The responsibility should rest iidoii the Chief
Engineer; he is, coii pellcd to employ incorupe
Uut men, it they are recommended by the Trus
tees. Etich one of ihe Trustees has cue-twelfth
of the appointments, and if the Tutees were to
send en incompetent man, the Cliiot r;ngineer
would have to employ him, and it rest, with the
Affibtant Engineer to tind out whether the man
was competent; there are men at the Woiks that
have been there for ears, and none have been
discharged without cause. When ihj political
chanee took place in tue Board, a laree number
ot men were removed. He did not think it ne
cessary for the Chief Enaineer to be a scientific
man; the manufacture of gas was under the
charge of experienced tort-men; the present
Cniel spends a an-at deal ol time at the Works,
and trirs to save where ho can.
Mr. Grav, one of tho Committer, asked Mr.
Jones it he believed that the Ch et Eug neer was
a competent man, aud qualified lor tne nosi.lon.
Mr. Jones did not ieel at liberty to answer the
question.
llie examination was tnen con inued. la
Chiel Enaineer reports to the Committee when
new works ore required.
y. How can tne Chict recommend new works
without haviug a knowledge oi the manufacture
ol gas r
A. The Chief Engineer does know something
about the biiMuesf-; it cost more to manufacture
gas at Poiut ilreeze than at Market street,
because wnge9 Bre higher at the former; he be
lieved that the Trustees were doing everything
in their pow er to m insge the Works properly,
and lor the beuetit ol the city.
Mr. Gray stated that he had understool that
fourmemotrs of the Trust were candidates lor
Bow otllcjs, aud he desired to know whether
they could not use the Trust lor their benefit
pol'tically.
Mr. Jones replied that he had heard one of
them say that he would withdraw as a candi
date if the others would do so; if a politician
wants a good oince, lie will work lor it; the
only way to change the matter is by electing
men who do not seek ofiice.
A communication was received from the Board
of Trustees, stating that the books of the Trust
will be at the disposal of the Committee at any
lime when not needed for the transaction 6t
business.
Convention of j'iuemkn. In pursuance
of a call ol the Mechanic Steam Firj Enirine
Company, a convention of tiremeu assembled at
