 For some unknown reason, what is left of the borough's once prominent flag, was not flown on WashingtOn's birthday. Perhaps those in charge of it thought that no flag at all would look better to visitors and towns people than such a dilapidated excuse for the country's emblem. Not intend ing any disrespect to the United States flag, would it not be we'll to save the borough from further dis grace by either having no flag at all, or ty having one that will be an honor to the place? a.,..s
