In referring today to an article in

was used in connection with the use
of one of the Street and Sewer De-
partment automobiles on Sunday last,
Frank Z. Haley of the Law and order
Society, said that part of the article
about the explanation having been
made 10 him by the department was
incorrect.
las a matter Of fact the automobile
in question, bearing tag No. 1916, was
seen by me on Sunday afternoon, after
) o'clock, several miles cut from tue
city. on the Lancaster pike. approach
ing the city" said Mr.. Haley. and
certainly could not have been used in
connection with street spriukling that
distance from the city.
"When l called the Street and
Sewer Department on Monday and
asked If their automobiles we're hired
out on Sundays or taken out on Sun
days at all, l was simply informed
that they we're not taken out on Sun
days. and no further explanation was
made by anyone connected with the
department, except 90 ask who was
calling. my reply being that Il was a
taxpayer, after stating where l had
