10 by Trustee Hay was one called for
the purpose Of considering matters per-
tanning, TO the Improvements of sbs

deliberately and knowingly tells what b
not true; for just y tho meeting Wa
going to take place the mayor particufas-
ly asked Mr.. Hay to stop In and take

to do. As to the 10000 expend iture
referred to In Mr.. Hays Communication
we desire to state that at no time was
that amount deemed necessary to
beautify the park.
Mr.. Hay states that NO mention was
made in the advertisement for removal
Of trees. AS to the truth Of this state
ment we leave the public to decide.
In next weeks HERALD will appear =
