Editor of the Kennebec Journal.
Dear Sirs: In the daily issue of the
journal of this date. | read report
of the annual meeting of the kennebec
County Agricultural Society, in which
the Indebtedness of the society was re-
ported by the treasurer to be $4,000.
This may have been a mistake of the
special reporters or Of the linotype
operator, but at any rate, it is most
unfortunate for the society to have its
liability advertised at three times larg-
er than the facts and at time when
raise money to pay off the indebted
ness.
AS reported by the treasurer, the
money Indebtedness is. in round fig
ures. $2100 and this is offset by all the
buildings. appurtenances, track, etc.
which are worth much more than the
napli1ties of the society. AS president
of the society for 1910 and as one of
its friends, before mentioned, | hope
YOU will correct this mistake as pub
Hcly as 1t was given out and in the
hrst issue of the Journal after this
communication is received.
