mislead the public in financial mat ters affecting the city"
 Only last Saturday, the city of Boston, in a complaint signed by Mayor Mansfield, brought suit in state supreme court to recover some $25o, 1000 in allegedly illegal profits taken by Edmund L. Dolan while city treasurer under then Mayor Curley.
 The governor charged that this action was conspiracy on the part of a small group to destroy Dolans reputation. Curley said the instiga- tors of the action would be prose- cuted under the conspiracy laws if enough evidence could be secured.
 Curley's statement of to-day made no mention of the suit.
 Called Inefficient
 "Mr. Mansfield has been mayor for two years," Curley stated, land the only evidence that the public has of his administration is represented in an increased tax rate, and in- creased debt, and increased ineffi- ciency.
 T challenge MT Mansfield to point to 8 single substantial, enduring public improvement during the wild orgy of expenditures of the past two years, and I venture to state that when he retires from office, the only monuments that he will leave will be those represented by increase in taxes, increase III debt, and humiliation in the hearts of an intelligent people at the knowledge that the chief executive of Boston, during MT. Mansfield's term of of- flee, was not only incompetent dur ing his entire term, but an abject winner from beginning to end. There is one real service that MT. Mansfield can render the people of Boston, and that is to announce his retirement as mayor"
 Deceptive Policy
 "The failure of Mayor Mansfield to direct attention to the decrease in the net debt for county purposes representing more than three fourths of a million do1lars," Curley said, is in keeping with the decep- tive policy which he has practiced since he first began whining as mayor of Boston"
 Curley said he had reduced school costs from $21, ,000, 900 to $15,000, ,000 during his last term as mayor, but that now, under Mansfield, school expenditures have mounted again to more than $17,0O0,000. Similarly, the governor said, he had reduced costs of the public works department from $9,000,000 to $6,000,000, but they have scared again to more than $7,000,0O0 under Mansfield.
 Curley said he had cut police de- partment expenses by nearly $1,000,- GOO but that due to Mansfleld's "in- efficiency" a third of that gain has been lost.
 Deliberate Deceit
 To support his charge that Mans field was guilty of deliberate deceit in declaring that Curley increased the city's net debt from $102, ,000, ,00C to nearly 136,00o,o0o in four years Curley pointed out that of this total increase $14,575,6l3 was due in part to the issue of necessary bonds for municipal and emergency reliei amounting to $7,600,00O Curley ex- plained that the bond issue was re- sorted to so taxpayers would not be burdened with higher tax rate. Il was equivalent, he said to a reduc- ton of $2.70 per $1,000 valuation ir the tax rate.
 Curley also pointed out that the new underwater East Boston traffic tunnel, costing some $l7,000,000, was built during his administration and twas a heritage for which I was not wholly responsible.
 Other funds, Curley said, were devoted to such essential projects as the Governor Square subway exten- sion, soldiers relief, and completion of a hospital program dating from 1922.
