Last evening the board OF police COM
missioners of Newport held a meeting
at which formal exceptions were taken
60 statements made by former Mayor
Garrettson at the Republican dinner last
Thursday evening. The following open
letter was Issued
1--WE think that the time has come for
the board of police commissioners TO deny
certain statements that have been made
and were reiterated by ex-Mayor Gar
rettson at -Se annual dinner OF the Rep
ublican club last evening. when he said
that within a few weeks this board has
permitted a disgrace in our public streets.
q disgrace to our wives and children.
'Now the truth II. the board OF police
commissioners had nothing whatever TO
do with granting permission to move the
building, and we would say that we did
not even know that II was being moved
until we saw it in the street. No citizen
in Newport deprecated the moving OF the
building more than we.
