To the Editors of The Araus,
1 noticed in your issue of yesterday an
article "Justice" reflecting upon the
action of the library board.
Allow me to correct your correspondent
where he is in error in his statements.
First. Mr. Wheelock gave tho house rent
free for the first year only; second, Ithe
discount made in his bill was $11.10, being
pro rata tor $ ot a month, the deed bears
date to the 10th of March and the discount
was made to correspond therewith.
It seems that when the deed was made
the matter of rent was mentioned to the
party drawine the deed and it was under
stood by him and Mr. Wheelock that the
rent should run to the 1st of April the
end of the year. This member of the
board was not present at the meeting when
the bills cam 3 before the board for pay
ment. Had the board known ot this
understanding, of course the bill would
have been allowed,
Allow me to suggest to Justice the
propriety of ascertaining the facts before
he rushes into print with matters with
which he has no concern. Yours,
One of otie Board.
