"Did Board Act Fairly9"
81 come back to the original ques-
ton and the only one in this issue
and that is: Did this school board act
in fairness and with business judg
ment to the tax payers, when they
sold $150,000 in school bonds, more
Or less, without competitive bidding?
/ Did they act fairly when they repre-
scented to other bond buyers that they
had decided to not sell these bonds?
Did they act fairly with you, the tax
payer, and interested bond buyers,
gave their sacred word of honor to
not do what they did do?
"Now, Mr.. Coleman. your little

to help the home man is sudh a joke
on the tax payers that it ought to be
patented and sold to be used in all

result Of an experiment made II

Two Frenchmen affirmed their abilit,

sack of flour, which at that time pro
duced only 80 to 100 loaves. The
Marylebone guardians lent their bak

nothing prejudicial to health, but thu
process by which it was made was to
