than what he had done. He remark
ed that he was not worrying over any
fear of being removed from office
for being overzealous for the city's
interests. Asked as to whether he had
taken legal advice he said: that he had
not.
In the meantime the payroll is still
held up. The city officials, of course.
are not affected as they are paid on
separate warrants, but it is the day
aborers who do not get their pay for
the past two weeks, and they can
not until some steps have been taken
to have the warrant for their pay

feels that he can sign.
Attitude on Bond Matter.
Regarding, the attitude that he took
in regard to not issuing any notes
to pay off $500. of the water bonds.
NJ: Hodapp states that he felt that
it was not necessary to borrow any
money, as money in other funds could
be used for the purpose and thus save
interest. The city is $4,000 better
off today than it was two years ago
today, he says, and there was no need
to issue any notes, the legality of
which he questions. He did not alb
solutely refuse to sign the notes. He
says that his object in taking the
stand that he has on this and other
matters has always been for what he
considers the best interests of the city.

cast slurs on neighboring towns through
newspaper columns on such q trivial
matter rs a defeat in q ball game A base
ball nine that has been defeated by the
East Bethel nine every time in two seq
sons excepting once should be able to
bear defeat in a more sportsmanIike
manner than by abusing q newspaper cor
respondent who simply writes and calls
black black, or white white, as the case
may be.
Your East Randolph correspondent, in
alluding to the Labor day sports here,
among other misstatements says that
East Bethel made only four runs in the
last eight innings, whereas ten runs is
the accurate account, and as to who
played the best game the score shows
very plainly.
