THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 3, NUMBER 5. 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.

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. PRESIDING ELDER HERE. Dr..
