A contract to _get ( films from the Canadian Aero Film N : Company had been made by the Government early in 1920. Some time before that he had been in the ; offices of the company and had seen screened a picture called '"'The Silver Tract." He liked the picture, but ' . understood it was made for the Canada Cement Company. Not be-- ~ l ing certain about the matter, he had ) refused to certify the account for the picture when the Government ' s purchased it. . Blaine Irish, Mana-- k ger of the company, had called on ts him, said the witness, and was angry| over the delay and had promised tc' "get him." Later Mr. Elliott was placed ln' charge of the bureau, said witness, and the accounts were paid. Daw-l son testified that when in the em-- ploy of the Government Irish had\ offered to sell him $2,000 worth otl stock in the Canadian Aero Film Company, but he had -- told himl "NMothing doing." | Wasted Film Paid For. I Dawson explained that, in purchas-- § ing films, the camera stops and wasted film were supposed to be -- r l taken out before the film was mea-- . > sured. He testified that he knew : C film was measured immediately af-- 6 | -- ter it came from the laboratory and . t the invoice prices to the Govern-- P f ment were based on this measure-- s ment and not on the measurement 4 ' after certain portions had been taken out. s Witness said that the apparent overcharge on the picture '"Niagara, ¢ Winter and Summer," had -- been a brought to the attention of an of-- 3 ficial of the film company some time «l before the period Mr. Elliott said ® he had found it, but, witness said, ' ' g nothing was done. He told of drawing attention to an overcharge 8 of 700 feet in one film, the title of . 4 which had been changed and in-i f d voiced under the two titles. | 4 * Mr. Price wanted to have all films S purchased during the last year re-- f f * measured, but on a votle the com-- f j mittee decided he should finish the ' 3 y f inquiry, and then, if necessary, pro-- $ ceed with the remeasurement. s mse ------------------7"*4--*-'--*------,--"--'------------_--'-- i i v * * ol ;'f, '4 S * y ; o A y % w C C % « n td s ._ j
