at once rushed into print with letter
on municipal extravaganza, assuming
that the flag in question was the little
red rag used in last winters smallpox
scare. An investigation shows that
the smallpox flags cost Mayor Wiggn
20 cents, and that he forgot to charge
it up to the city. The $3.50 was for
much needed national flag for the
city's use, and it was procured at
Wholesale rates.
