 Dear Sir: In accordance with your request have carefully verified, using cancelled checks with proper endorse ment each item of disbursements ap- bearing on the attached treasurer's re- port, and l hereby certify said report to be correct. l have audited all vouchers. and your apportionments to the various committees are correct as submitted in the attached report. I am unable to audit the statement of the Carnival committee, as you fail to supply me with the vouchers.
 Signed Yours respectfully
 GEORGE P. SPEAR. These letters are self explanatory, and it was because l had too much respect for the men in charge that objected to the acceptance of the re- port, which they had to compile on such meagre information.
 If this is a sample of the way in Quigley. it makes me try all the harder to keep him out of the posi- ton as mayor.

GOVT. PRINTING
 BUREAU CLOSED
Department Will Be ReorganiZed Many Employe to Lose Jobs

Washington, April S.-Divisions of the bureau of engraving and printing, engaged in the production of bank notes, bonds and postage stamps, will be closed tonight for an indefinite period for the purpose of taking an inventory of the plant from which James l.. Wilmeth and 2S chiefs, su- perintendent and foreman were re- moved by presidential order one week ago.
 Decision to close at least the prin- cipal portions of the big plant, the largest of it's kind in the world, was disclosed today as having followed a conference late yesterday between Louis Hill, the newly appointed direc- tor division chiefs of the bureau and treasury officials.
 Further Hardingized
 The inventory it was said would be undertaken by treasury accountants and department of justice agents. Hints also were given that during the closing the bureau would be further reorganized or "Hardingized," as one official put it.
 New steel plates will be installed for the purpose of preventing counter feiting of the various bank notes and bonds printed in the plant as the old plates had become so worn that it was found that prints taken from them were paratively easy to counterfeit ..
 The bureau employs about 5000 persons and it was estimated that about A. 000 of the total would be affected by the closing.

PAONESSA ANSWERS
 QU|GLEY'S CHARGES
Democratic Candidate Writes an Open Letter to His Opponent

Alderman A. M Paonessa, in an swer to Mr. Quigley's statement that he owed an apology to the men who served on the Carnival committee dur ing Old Home Week, has written the following open letter to MT. Quigley:
 New Britain,
 April 5, 1922 To the Editor of the New Britain Herald, New Britain, Conn.
 Dear Sir desire to answer through your columns my opponents purely political letter published in your last issue. I made remarks in recent speech about the handling of the Carnival. This money was original iy advanced with the intention of all lowing the committee to do their busi- ness unhampered and that the money and additional sums would come back to the city to be used in providing some permanent benefit to the ex- service men,
 Mir. Quigley was the honorary chair man of the Welcome Home commit tee which handled this Carnival, and was the central and active figure in the whole proceeding. Prior to, dur ing, and after the Carnival, even up to today he is busy defending and trying to explain the lamentable re- suit
 l brought this matter up at this time in this campaign. to show what we may expect from MT. Quigley, and n he pl city into political attempts to win popular favor.
 And now Mir Quiglcy is up to his old tricks again. In clever scheme to alienate from my support the friends of all of the members of that com mittee, he parades their names in the newspapers of our city and tries {. make it appear that l accused them of stealing and cheating when as a mat ter of fact I have the highest regard for them and know how hard they worked. It is Quigley himself who Is bringing forth the names of our prom inent citizens who served on that com mittee, and it is only because he did this that I make this reply
 It is long time since the Carnival, put our puDllC TeCOr0S are enduring. l wish to quote from the records of the common council two letters which appear in Volume 16, Meeting No. 10, pages 22 and 23:

 I am not asking this with the ides of intruding upon the privileges of any of the special committees but this i: the only businesslike way of handling the matter.
 Will you kindly take this matter UT at the meeting of the general com mittee Monday next.

 September 17. 1919 Mir. Humphrey:
 Chairman Welcome Home Committee, New Britain. Conn.
 Dear Mir. Humphrey: I regret to i'm form you that the terms of the agree ment arrived at between the chairman of the Carnival committee and myself, at conference hNd at the Elks' club, at which Mir. Sprague, MT. Hanna, you and myself were present, are not in the least being lived up to. At that time it was understood and agreed that the entire money would be brought to my office at night and de- posted in the vault; counted, checked, and distributed here in the morning. This is not being done.
 Furthermore, l wish to receive a copy of all contracts and concessions which the Carnival committee had let and up to the present writing these papers have not been turned over to me.
 Again, none of the money which is collected is being turned over to me- and 1 am absolutely without any check whatever, on the receipts of the Carnival committee.
 Signed Yours very truly

per cent of all the persons engaged
in agriculture in the south are Ne

Five hundred thousand Negroes

$500 IN BREAD
0verseer Hansen Says Aid
Given by Bakery Has Done
Much Good

In commenting this morning upon
certain phases of the work that has
been done during the past winter by
the department of the Overseer of
the Poor Math Hansen noted the
fact that over $500 worth of bread
has been given away by Simmen's
bakery. Mr.. Hansen said this free
bread has played an exceedingly i'm
portant part in staving off hunger
among the poor of the city during
the winter and the department de-
sired 20 take this means of express
ing its gratitude to Julius Il. Sim
men. the proprietor of the bakery.
The free distribution of the bread
began last fall when an unusual
number of thefts involving boxes of
bread occurred in the city and
brought to light the fact that there
was actual suffering and hunger
here. When the thefts were brought
to light through the police Mr.. Sim
men announced that no n need
steal bread because any person ac-
tually unable to purchase it could
have it free of charge by applying
to Math Hansen or Miss Alma Wild
erstrom for a ticket. The effect of
the announcement was noticed al
most Immediately and since that
time no bread boxes have been re-
ported stolen.
With the coming of milder wealth
err and betterment OK the industrial
situation here il has been found
that calls for bread have been less
frequent and the practice has been
discontinued.
