OLD CITIZEN DEFENDS
MAYOR CROVATT FROM
SLANDERS OS ENEMY
SOI FACTS m
PLAINLY GIVEN
Why is the Mayor Re-=
sponsible for Acre
Disorder?
BELIEVED TO BE A
POLITICAL MAKESHIF!
Sotne Plain Facts in the Case are
Presented to the People
for Their Calm Deliber
ations.
Mr. Editor:
I am a citizen of Bruns
ick, and an old one. I have lived here
when there was not a member ol
your staff in existence and I feel
that (it is nj|y duty to impose upon
your valuable columns toi reply to
a dirty attack made on Haro. A.' J.
Crovatt. mayor of the city of Bruns
wick, which appeared in the columm
oif another paper today.
In the first place the publication
was the work of a coward, for, while
hiding in ambush, he charges the
Mayor with aiding and abetting crime
and wrong doing in. the city and
forgets to come out in the open
and charge specifically wherein the
Mayor has sinned.
The fact is, the scheme is a dirty
political canard made for the pur
pose of reflecting out the intergrity ci
a man whose sense of honor is as
high above that of his accuser as
the sun is above the earth.
It is the opening gun of the Good
Government club in tbe coming muni
pal campaingini and ns one who has
always been agmlnst the rule or ruin’
policy of that political oligarcy, 1
wish to pronounce it here and now a
falsehood of the vileset character.
Mayor Crovatt Is no more responsi
ble for the ,evils that exists in the
Acre titan was Mayor Emanuel, when
he served in the same capacity last
served in the same capacity last year
year and there has been no increase
In crime there. At least the police
records do not show it. The for
mer mayor was elected on a reform
ticket. What record did he make foi
reformation?
Again, how many ca-seo of “minors
loitering or remaining in places where
spuitolus liquors are sold’’ has been
brought to the police court? How
mapv ses of women loitering in such
pi; las the Mayor let off with a
nominal fine?
If ie “prominent citizen” had as
niucl .rnhood ®s he has prominence
he • ;l not have attacked the head
of the municipality as an assassin
does in the dark.
If this is the opening of the cam-
I for one want to say that I am
glad of it and such “rot” as this
will always find ceirrection at the
hands of people who, at least
have a small regard for the truth
Mayor Crovatt has an oath to res
pect (something I think “prominen
citizen” is not acquainted with) and
he adheres to it ami dues not fine
pour inoffensive drunkards and pettj
ordinance violators outrageously,
simply to please a few policemen
who have an idea that a fine by the
mayor is a vindication of their con
duct.
Mayor Crovatt presides over a body
the council, a majority of which is
politically opposed to him. He has
been treated with discourtesy by this
political majority and if they really
want effective work done in the Ac
re they can arbitrarily (as they gen -
erally do) take any action that they
please over the Mayor.
No, indeed, don’t try to make politi
cal capital out of this acre business
and if you will so insist in so doing
place the responsibility on the prop
er person.
If the policemen will bring the of
fenders before the Mayor, with the
yor per evidence ito convict, I will
stake iny reputation that he will fine
them in commensuration with the law
violated.
And before dosing I would like to
ark prominent citizen for the name
of the police officer who refused to
arrest any Acre denizens because
he knew the Mayor would not fine
! them. Such a charge is a reflection
against every member of the force
and if there is a man who has used
such language he should be dismissed
from the force atonce.
Yours truly,
Old Citizen.

the thousands of guest knew it when

rate decorations of the city yesterday
and tlie illuminations of last evening
may not already have forcibly impres
sed tiie fact of tlie approching birthday
upon their minds.
As the sun peeped id head above

the reception of honored guests. This
afternoon there were interesting cere
monies connected with the dedication
memorial tablets marking tlie site of
tlie Fort Dearbone massacre and of
other historic events in the career of
tiie muncipality. A wondrous sight
occurred tonight when tons and
tons of Roman fire were burned
on tlie tops of tall buildings down
town in reproduction of the gi eat tire
of 1871.
LABORERS ALL hR i)
MONEY LAST NIGHT
First Time They Have Received a
Full Week's Pay Since Strike
Was Settled.
Nearly every merchant in Bruns
wick reported a good business last
night.
It wals the first time that the labor
ers along the bay have received a
full weeks’ salary since the strike was
settled. Last week the men only
worked on half time; moot of them
were in debt and had but little money
to spend,
Yesterday the conditions were quite
diifferem fc. All of the laborers put.
in a full week; they received, for
the first time, a full week’s pay with
the increase decided upon by the ar
bitrators, and, as a result, the mer
chants of the city generally felt the
difference, and business last night
was reported to be better than it has
been in several weekp.
OFFICERS MADE A GOOD HAUL.
Mounted Police 1 Pull Six Mourners’
Bench Occupants Last Night.
Mounted Officers Owens and Berry
made a very good record last night,
and in all this very competent, pair
of officials pulled six viola of the
law.
Adam Harris, colored, was nailed

SHE REAL FACTS
OR TREE QUESTION
Ihe Entire Council was
Opposed to Destroying
Them
IHE RECORDS SHOW II
Public Works Committed of Council
Was Loath to Have Them Re
moved and So Reported to
Members of the Board.
There seems to be a while lot of
misunderstanding among the people
of the city of Brunswick as to who
is and who is not responsible for the
proposed act of the city council in
cutting down of certain trees of the
city.
In certain quarters individuals are
pleased to point out the fact that
tie council committee of public
works was in favor of the plan of
cutting down trees generally and
that a number of them had been cut
under the direction of that committee.
Asa matter of fact not one single
live tijee hats ever liven cut under
the supervision of this committee
and when it came up to the commit
tee to pass on the removal of a sin
gle oak in the vicinity of the public
building, the committee was loath to
report on the cutting of the trees
and only did so when it was made
to appear that the tree in question
was in very bad shape.
Alderman Dart, who is chairman
of the committee on public works,
was seen by a member of The News
staff and he says he was not in favor
of a general removal of trees, but did
think that the one in question was
damaged and could be dispensed with.
There was no disposition on the
part of the chairman of the commit
tee or any other member to want
only ta'-ip away We trees, us tool'’ re
port will show.
