September 1, 1911 File No. .599 Mr. J. Ross Clark Dear Sir:- Second Vice-President, Building. I have your letter of August 28th. and one to you from Auditor Bettis of August 26th.

Had Mr. Bettis inquired, Mr, Bracken would have told him that was the case as he has told me it was. In fact,I examined the walls of some of the cottages in question some months ago and observed the damage to the walls and to other portions of the cottages which had been done by irresponsible and swinish tenants and I recall that I mentioned the matter to you. hich broke
