James Valleley, Republican Mayor Of CantOnI
is charged by the Democrats with slight defalca-
toDs. 1t is alleged that he imposed certain fines
only half Of the amounts Of which were recorded
by him, the other half going into his pocket
When he made statement q few weeks ago 10
the city council, Of the receipts and disburse-
ments Of his office, 1t was noticed that some items
Of receipts known TO persons looking over the
statement, we're not recorded. The books were
returned TO the Mayor when he changed some Of
the figures, the change being noticed by his po-
ltcal opponents, who were watching for any
slip. He thus appears to be in bad box,-AM
dnce ReuieI0.
We fear our Mayor is incompetent or careless,
or both. The matter Is between him and the
city council. 1t Is not party affa II OF all.
