 NEW HAVEN, September 13, 1688 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: DEAR SR-My business takes me out of the city almost daily, and at present requires 60 much of my time that do not have the opportunity of giving the attention to school matters that the taxpayers and other resi- dents of the district ought to demand and expect from citizen who consents to serve them as a member of the board of education. The time am able to devote to school questions certainly is not satisfactory to my self; therefore, my sense of duty to the in rerssts of the district moves me to decline absolutely to become candidate for renom- ination at the approaching election.
