JUSTICE TO MEssRs. CRANE AND WATSON
These gentlemen complain that The STAR does
tbem Injustice in saying they were turned out of
the Water Department Their terms of office
expired they say, and they declined 10 be reap
pointed by Gov. Cooke. We are afraid Messrs.
Y. ana w. are little disingenuous in this mat
ter, and that those declined reappointments were
sour grapes The way Of 1t Is this when the
terms of the municipal officers expired ON the
advent OF the District government most OF them
were reappointed temporarily by Gov Cooke
Among the few changes made, Messrs Crane
and Watson were dropped; but we imagine that
II will be news to Gov. Cooke that thew ever
exhibited the slightest disinclination II hold on
to their positions If they had been permitted to
do so.
