PRES. QUIGLEY STATES
POSITION In RE. ST0NG

An open letter signed by Samuel
Quigley, president of Western State
college, in which he explains the true
facts in connection with one angle of
the mud singing which has been so
persistently manipulated by Arthur
Stong, Auditor of State, and Henry
Casaday, Budget Commissioner. The
letter is presented herewith for the
consideration of our readers:
! l am informed that Mr.. Stong was
very active during the recent meet
ing Of the Colorado Editorial Associa-
ton, in representing the undersigned
as liar.
There is just one point that he re-
ported to you, which l desire to make
clear if you will grant me the time.
He told you that l said that l paid
| for the Ampico Grand Piano, pur-
chased for the school about four
years ago.
This is what he should have told
you:
Quigley accepted the piano to be
put into the school because he expect
ed to cover the expense OF it himself.
The Music company understood it
differently and billed the school for
the piano so as to give the benefit of
the discount allowed to the institu-
ton rather than to individuals These
bills were permitted to be paid in the
usual way from the school funds, to
insure promptness in settling for the
instrument and to be entitled to the
discount
But Quigley proceeded Immediately
to reimburse the school for all the
money spent for this fine instrument
and very much more.
All that QmgIey claims b tla. hs|
has more than reimbursed the school
for the piano. which could not and
would not have been purchased from
school funds, except as stated above.
When the period covered by the
payments on the piano was over, the
school had the piano, and almost as
much more as the price OF the piano,
which has been paid out by Quigley
Az SCI flNtS anu ltAEiNC4 ldlS tSStulldl
to the practical growth and running
OF the school.
Quigley satisfied the legislative
finance committees last winter by
presenting receipts for such services
and supplies, amounting to s5SO0.0O,
while the price of the Ampico Grand
Piano was $500.
This Information was available TO
Mr.. Stong last winter; but he chooses
not to accept it as true. The legis-
latiye committees and the House and
Senate did accept the explanation and
inspect the receipts presented by me.
! still have the receipts in my pos
session and shall keep them until +
am through doing business with Mr..
Stong
OF course l might buy the piano,
collect few thousand dollars and
then turn around and give the piano
back to the school II didn't care to
keep it. But I do not care either for
the piano or the surplus OF money by
which l have reimbursed the school
for this luxury.
Very truly,
S. QUIGLEY.
