He was Chairman of the Electricity Committee of the City Council. He had never attempted to influence the Council officials in respect to the coal tenders of Byrnes, Ltd., or Peacock. Ho had not been in collusion with anyone to prevent the acceptance of Moore’s tender. Witness declared that it was only derelicts of the coal trade who had made the charges that wore under review by the Commission, and it was only political propaganda. The Labour Party administration was the cleanest since its charter was granted to Sydney. Tho hearihg was adjourned to. September 3, when it. is expected Mr. Johnston will be well enough to attend.
