| Mr.. Bowen corrects the interview so
far as this impression may have been
created. HIS letter in full is as fol-
lows
To the Editor, Deseret News: My
attention was called to an article In
your issue of Aug. 81. by Mr.. c. 7. Vail,
ex-chief of fire department. in which
1 am quoted as having made certain
statements relating TO the methods Oh
the department under Mr.. Vail.
He contends that, as | am quoted,
had made such statements as would
readily infer that my charge was made
directly at him.
After reading the article carefully, |
note that l have been misquoted and
beg to request that you make correc-
ton of your report ofgnly statement
You quote me as having stated that
Electrician Shelley called at my Of
flee, etc. Please be advised that |
stated "He telephoned to me that his
department did not intend to keep up
private boxes, and that If we wanted
the box in our store kept in order, the
charge would be SO per month";
PLAIN ORDINARY GRAFT"
] replied, with decided emphasis. and
ordered him, under such circumstances.
TO keep away from our premises. /
likewise stated that I considered the
demand as an outrageous attempt at
plain. ordinary graft
WAS IT SANCTIONED?
please refer 10 the last clause OF
your article and note that my re-
marks were, II regarded the efforts of
Eairs men to consider private alarm
boxes in any other sense than as be-
Ing for the best efficiency of the de-
partnent and strictly as n part of
same, as pure and unqualified graft,
snd that If Mr. Vail sanctioned IL,
Gas the electrician told me he had
done) it was merely an evidence of his
incapacity for such position.
You will note. by the above, quite a
variance from Your statement as pub
lished.
i have no desire to be placed in a
position of inference, such as Mr..
Vail was justified in pointing out.
My statements. as given to your rep
resentative, were based upon plain
facts, which ! desire that the public
fully understand. since by reason OF
same have been brought into print
correction promptly, and thus bring
your entire article to accord With the
facts Yours truly,
Sept. {. NM. BOWEN.
The final clause OF the News ar
ticle which Mr.. Bowen corrects,
quotes him as saying: II never heard
of d demand for fee until Mr.. Vail
became chief and then the graft
commenced. Fire boxes in such places
are merely matters of department ef-
ficiency. and ! regarded the effort OF
Vail to consider them in any other
way, merely an evidence of his total
incapacity as chief.
Besides the Crane case. It Is under
stood that one of the RAILROAD COM
1.anies was solicited for transportation.
and furnished it. for the consideration
of having its alarm boxes kept in re-
pair. Mayor Bransford said today
that without an investigation he could
not say exactly what the merits OF
the case were. but that IL facts 10
warrant it were brought out, an inyes-
tigation would certainly be made, and
any irregularity corrected. .-----

ing their existence to the public ana
