An unfortunate misunderstanding has
arisen between the city council and Mr.
Baxter. the editor of the Ford Gazette;
unfortunate for many reasons, among
which is the fact that Mr.. Bakers paper
has wide circulation and publishes to
all its readers far and near the idea of
our city council being rash and careless
in their acts The correspondent for the
TIMES does not for one moment believe
that our council intentionally intended
to wrong Mr.. Baxter nor act in a rash
manner regard to the subject matter now
in dispute, but since the Gazette has
come out with such statements as it has
il now becomes our council to answer
in reason and candor the allegasiOn set
forth in the Gazette, or just blame will
necessarially rest upon them OF course
the city government is to be exercised in
the interest of no person or persons, and
any bid by Mr.. Baxter for city printing
should have had due consideration, if this
has not been the case, then senture must
rest upon our council s all the I'M
preiudiced citizens of Ford will con-
cludc. W. B. S.
