The Journal lest week made very feeble
| reply to our criticism of the towns financial
statement, and the only point it tried Ia
make was that the financial statement by
the editor of this paper, at the end of his
term as Recorder of the town, did not show
all the Indebtedness by several hundred dol
lars, when we stated at the time that there
w-re other Indebtedness for contracts made
and expenses incurred that could not be
given then, because the amounts were not
known at that time. We further stated
that there was several hundred dollars due
the town from the county and individuals
for stone purchased and paid for by the
town, and also from the Electric Light Com.
pany and from the Fidelity Bond Company
that would much more than cover any
Indebtedness that the town owed.
