Hon. Mayor and Council. Brunswick,
Ga:
Gentlemen: In our report to your
honorable body and adopted at meet
ing of June oath we stated as a fact
that the board Of education had never
requested a deed to Hillsborough
square; on the contrary had through
their representatives, while the new
school-house building in the square
was under discussion during open
council meeting in February or March
Of the present year, stated, they did
not want a deed to it, This fact is
doubtless we'll remembered, not only
by such of your honorable body who
were present at the meeting, but as
well by several citizens who were
also present when said statement was
made by Secretary Ballard, the
spokesman for the board in The
presence OF Mr.. Wood, its president.
In todays issue of the Brunswick
News there appeared a copy Of a res
oiution by Mr.. n. Emanuel a mem
er 81 the board, and passed by the
~, lt'no 'a
which resolution it is made to ap-
pear that these facts as stated in our
report are erroneous and misleading;
said resolution containing contrary
statement that the board by its ac-
credited representative did appear
| before council and request the deed
ing of the property upon which the
new school building is located and
that in compliance with the request.
the mayor and council adopted a res
olution referring the matter to the
public works committee and city at
/ torney for the purpose OF preparing
a bill amending the charter in that
/ respect, and had published in the Of
/ fetal organ of council the necessary
/ notice of an intention to amend the
city charter AS this was so totally
at variance with the actual facts in
the case, your committee through
its chairman sent to Mr., Emanuel to
day a letter, of which the following
is a copy:
