TAXPAYERS LETTER.
"A Teachers Committee Decides that Mr.
Ennis Name was Forged.

During the late political campaign, a
letter was received by the HERALD bear
ing the name of Charles L. Ennis, and
severely rejecting on the administration
of the city schools, and particularly on
Mr.. Baker, the assistant uperintendent.
There was nothing out OF the way in the
= letter, the criticisms, it is probable, be-
: ing fully deserved by those against
-,whom it was directed.
Mr.. Ennis called at the HERALD office
rsoon after its publication and denied
having written it. The fact that he
. denied its authorship was then pub
lished, and he was offered the use OF the
columns of the paper to present to the
public any absolute proof he might pro-
duce that he did not write the letter.
Last evening the following communica-
tion was left at the HERALD office:
Los ANGELES, Dec. 16, 1890.
We, the teachers committee, having
had under consideration the matter of a
letter which appeared in the Los An
= geles HERALD on October 20, 1890, signed
"Taxpayer and Principal" and which
,;purported to have been written by one
~0f the four male principals of the city
public schools, and which subsequently
proved to have had Mr.. Chas. L. Ennis
name attached thereto, do report that
after thorough investigation OF the
whole affair, we find that the letter was
forgery, and that Mr.. Ennis had moth
ing to do with it whatever, and that he
had no knowledge of the contents of the
letter until after disqualification in the
HERALD.
We therefore recommend that Mr.
Ennis be, and is hereby entirely exoner'
ated, and in order that he may be SET
right before the public, that the HERALI
be respectfully requested to publish
this report. G. j. ELLIS,
