So it is that all the budget slashes and salary cuts which were called for by Mayor McKee and which were immediately nullified by the Tammany-controlled Board, will at last be realized. Nor will...

It is even more surprising that he should have seen fit to accept royalties for the monopoly of this lifesaving device, which he had transferred to Warren E. Collins, Inc. The transaction suggests a distinct flare for business in this Medical School teacher, inasmuch as he had done his research in the tax-free Medical School shop and had received his Harvard salary and a subsidy from the Consolidated Gas Company of New York as well, before the royalties began to come...
