Editor Phenir: In your account Of the town
meeting, March ist you state that Deacon Estey and
Col. Fuller Indignantly replied that a statement /
made was false, and that their list for 1879 was
Illegally raised, etc, thereby implying and conveying
the impression that bad made false statement. As
to Col. Fullers VaporiEng remarks, care nothing,
nor would have any controversy with him. I did
ahrm that Deacon Estey had testified, previous 10
1872 that the firm was worth At least one million dol
lars, aud, lister, considered that We put the firm
down at low sum but notified them, and promised
to correct IL they would show that It too much,
but could get no statement from them Deacon Estey
did get up and deny ever making such statement.
All can say 10, that knew what was saying, aud
there are too many witnesses for him 10 deny H.
Their list was raised still more In 1880 and they APP
peaed TO the seleetmen. Of whom Deacon Estey was
chairman but they could not convince the other two
but that 1t still too small. In 1879 did my best
to have just and correct list, and know that 1t was
nearer right than Il had been for several years In
1880 being west did not get back until the list
about completed. knew nothing Of any law requir-
ing upper cent 70 be discounted which was all there
was illegal about the tax Of 1872 The main trouble
that the listers that year knew too much Of the
property and money Of many persons who had got
rid Of paying taxes which they should have paid and
they we're about the only ones that made the trouble

We had no intention Of misrepresenting
Mr.. Frost in the matter which he refers to,
nor do we think we did 30. We publish his
communication, however, pursuant TO tho
general principle that every man has right
to be heard in personal explanation or self
defense, over his own signature. The asser-
ton which Mr.. Frost made in town meeting
was that Mr.. Estey made statement, under
oath, rs to the amount of property owned by
his firm, and it was this assertion, as we un-
derstood the MISTER, which Mr.. Estey ''indig-
nantly" declared to be false -ED. PHOENIX
