It seems your grandfather concluded that if the supervisor made that offer to him, then the supervisor was in the habit of billing the town for his own projects?
It seems to me the dynamic hasn’t changed much, only the scale... Mr. Lincoln seemed to have a keen understanding of human nature, as did Elmer.
My dad shared two additional stories: One, my grandfather told my dad to always "go a little heavy" when loading the trucks--better to give too much than not enough.
Also, my dad once had a boss who had a very challenging life--one child committed suicide, another was abducted and murdered, and the third was born with down's syndrome. My dad said he always presented himself with wisdom and kindness. One of his wisdoms was, "Never vote for the same man twice. Politics/power corrupts."
