THE accounts of the Relief Committee
for 1898 and 1894 were audited by us
and we found that there had been issued
I34 orders. The receipts by the treas
urer was SI62.47 and there was paid out
SI56.6I leaving balance in hand on Wed
nesday, Feb. 6, S. Sc. There hes been
an erroneous impression which has
seemingly gained some credence, that by
reason of James E. Prettymau being the
secretary and treasurer ofthe Relief Com
mittee the bulk of the orders issued by
that Committee had been honored at the
store of Prettyman Bros, of which firm
he is a member. To the contrary how
ever upon a due investigation of the mat
ter we find that of all the SI56 worth of
orders issued not more than SO worth
were dealt out at the store of Prettyman
Bros. Mr.. Prettyman deserves great
credit and the thanks of the commuHity
for having originated this idea of relief
and distribution and for having devoted
so much of his time and at
tention to the work Such suggestions,
that the matter was made to inure to
bis benefit is not only unjust to Mr. Pret- |
lyman but detrimental to the better gath
ering of funds for the necessary relief of |
many worthy of the charity OF our peo-
pie. H. L. BUNsTAIN

DEAR CHRoEIcLE.-Iu regard to build
ing an Opera House for Milford, I
would suggest that it be built on the
operative plan, viz: Let one furnish
the lot, one the lumber, one do the
building, one do the plas,eung. etc etc.
Let each man do his work or furnish ma
terial and take it out pro-rata in shares
Of stock. /, for one will furnish all stage
fixtures. such as scenery, curtain, and
will do all painting, paper-hanging and
decorating which may be necessary in
or out Of building aud furnish all ma
terisl Iior same aud take stock enough
to cover cost of my work. Now let eigh |
or ten others join in with their material |
and with their work and Milford would 1
soon have an Opera House to he proud |
Of "CHET."
