The statement was made that Merrill had threatened suit unless he were and Cronquist was very much in favor of having him sue rather than pay out a hundred a month for nothing as he put it, but Commissioners Allen and Israelsen voted for reinstatement saying they felt morally bound to do so under all the circumstances, though, they 'did not urge that there is or was any real necessity for Merrills that eight gallons or nitroglycerine were at hand for the two jobs and that such a quantity of this fluid could not be obtained in the whole state of Illinois.
