Hon. Harold G. Hoffman,

Dear Harold;
You know that am not accustomed to give at
tention reply to newspaper items circulars,
but do not desire to be discourteous to you,
acknowledge that have read your letter in the
South Amboy Citizen addressed to me (although
did not receive the original through the mails)
and I have also read the circular issued by the
South Amboy Democratic Committee. which to
my mind appears to set forth the true facts as
taken from the records and the city books.
If you constitute the entire Republican Party
in South Amboy. and If you are exclusively au-
thorized to invite speakers. accept your invita-
tion to speak at your meeting tonight. Inasmuch
you refer to the Democratic circular, it is
possible that you might wish to listen to the au-
thor of it instead of myself. but If I can attend
without neglectng city and other duties, 1 shall
be glad to speak at your meeting and will read
your letter annexation, Senator Larsons let
ter the subject, and Assemblyman Pas

ton bill not introduced in the Legislature.
win also carry with matters of interest, the
petition of the property owners pleading annexa-
tion, the resolution offered by the Taxpayers As
sociation of South Amboy, and several other pa
pers have in my possession.
will also be glad to tell your audience of your
record City Treasurer, laying particular stress
your official issuance and sale of Pine Avenue
Pavement Bonds and your official diversion of
the money to other sources instead of paying the
State as per agreement, thus compelling the in
clusion Of that amount in the 1924 tax budget
with corresponding increase in the tax rate
The townspeople present might also be interested
in listening to reading of the New Jersey sta
tutes on this particular subject with the section

prescribing the penalty for such Official acts
It might possibly be better If I were extended
an invitation by your partys bigger boss, your
father, who insisted upon offering me his guild
and advice during a part Of my term as
Mayor and who is pow presumably seeking the
Mayors chair by having you as his proxy.
Harold, you are a real nice BOY presumably
in the game as a partisan politician to make lot
of money for yourself and associates. but the
people of South Amboy appear to think that the
city finances should not be exclusively in your
Trust Company, assuming that your profits would
to that extent increase the taxes of the city. My
election two years ago demonstrates that the cif-
want partisan politics in the executive de-
partment of the city and my record shows the
wisdom of their action, noting particularly the
saving in the Water Department of $14,773.6S in
my first year Mayor, over the previous year
This figure and the savings in other departments
can be readily verified from the city books.
Harold cannot comprehend why you get SO
excited or so overanxious for there is nothing in
the Mayorship other than hard work, If en-
forced strict economical administration is given
the people, I have not asked vote and do not
seek controversy. If a majority choose to
change the present municipal policy to extrava-
giant. ragbag. crazy quilt political partisanship
as one of the heavy taxpayers must and win meet
my share of it, but do not let your big anxiety to
be Mayor sever the friendly relations between you
and me.
should 1 fail to get to your meeting tonight
won't you kindly read this letter your audiences
also the other correspondence referred to. to-
gether with the proposed assessment ana public
works measures.
Respectfully yours,
