MANSHIP DENIES BEING
SLATED FOR CARRIER JOB

The PoST-DIsPATCH in its last
issue in its comments upon the
charges" filed against Carrier
R. B. Hutchinson in the Repub-
lican effort to oust him, stated
"it is reported that Raymond
Manship is slated to take Hutch
inson's job as Route 1 carrier.
Now comes the said R. M.
and denies the report that he is
slated for the job. This paper
takes his denial at its face value,
and his personal denial will be
doubtless good news to the pa
tons on Route l who were fear
ful that the Republican organi-
zation might ram this geranium
down their threats, whether or
no.
The following is Mr.. Man
ships denial:
Mr.. l. S. London,
Editor Post-Dispatch.
Dear Sir:
In you issue of April 6, 1922, under
the head of Cleaning Up Started you
stated that it was reported that I,
Raymond Manship, was slated for
Hutchinson's job as Route 1 Carrier
This report wish to state, as far as
know, is without foundation.
Yours very truly,
Raymond A. Manship.
This April 10, 1922"

high school building sold splendidly
the latter part of March, they being
sold to Ryan, Bowman and comany,

premium could have been secured
with 6 per cent bonds, but the
Board of Trustees wisely chose the
smaller premium and smaller in
