Ford, Paul Leicester, 1865-1902

"The Honorable Peter Stirling and What People Thought of Him"

Poor Ray was reduced almost to
despair over the mass of "rubbish" as he called it, which he would
subsequently have to put in order.
Between the two tasks, Peter's time was well-nigh used up. It was
especially drawn upon when the taking of evidence ceased and the
drafting of the reports began. Ray's notes proved hopeless, so Peter
copied out his neatly, and let Ray have them, rather glad that
irrelevant and useless evidence was thus omitted. It was left to Peter
to draw the report, and when his draft was submitted, it was accompanied
by a proposed General Tenement-house Bill. Both report and bill were
slightly amended, but not in a way that Peter minded.
Peter drew the Food-Commission report as well, although it went before
the Commission as Green's. To this, too, a proposed bill was attached,
which had undergone the scrutiny of the Health Board, and had been
conformed to their suggestions.
In November Peter carried both reports to Albany, and had a long talk
with Catlin over them.
