Public works division engineer Edward F. Murphy faced charges after a Finance Commission report found his submission on 9.9-cent road oil to be false and unfounded. The issue stemmed from a City Hall oil scandal that led to the removal of Purchasing Agent Thomas J. Dawson following recent hearings.
The engineer testified under oath that he observed the 9.9 cent oil used in streets before reporting to Commissioner Sullivan. The commission said the April 9 report claiming use of the 9.9 oil was false and that no such oil had been used by that date, affecting orders for five cars of oil.
The Finance Commission did not reveal recommended action while Mayor considered the case. Dawson, accused of involvement in bid splitting over 40 000 gallons of road oil from American Products Co, was removed.
