fact that the 1 tax- rate ordinarily is
(nxed at the annual borough meet
ing means that probably a special
meeting will be .called soon to handle
this detail of the borough business.
Yet there are some voters who main
tain that this procedure will not be
strictly legal.
i Charles P. Beardsley, the borough
clerk, disclaims responsibility for the i
lack of notice for the annual meet
ing. He says it is unjust to tax him
with negligence, for the charter di
vides the responsibility for the post
ing of the notice among a number of
the officials, and in no way directly
puts it up to him. ;
Mr. Beardsley resents the implica
tion that he absented - himself from
his usual haunts when the voters, on
the morning of May 4," sought him.
He claims to have been at his home.
