withdraw the $50.000 cash they had dopes•
(ted as secunty and had permitted them to
substitute for it
certain real estate they
owned in this We.
The Liberals were determined to find int
somethine about thea transaction if they
could, sad on the 4th of .lune last Mr. Lie
ter. SI 1' , asked the Minster of Ralways

The refusal ot the auditor -avowal to pay

1:overnment holds for the completion of
their work Accordingly today 1 tolled
