The Board said they had nothing to do with the bonus. The butchers said they did not have a show at the stalls since the secret meeting, and if the other stalls were to remain at $200, to place all up at pub lic bidding and they would guar antee the market should brin not less than 81,300. Now, all this transaction looks to us like some insr is "rotten in Denmark." Some money has gone wrong, and we would hold our peace if it was private business, and our Faber would not move a peg. But ''public office is a rmblic trust''" and one of the penalties of office is its open ness to investigation. Who's got that money ? The town has lost the difference between what was offered by the butchers and the price it was sold for to another. And the out sider made something by his specu lation. Who s got the money r Dr. Gripers, the onlv Democrat on the :on ' Board, refused to sanction the deal, and rightly, because of suspected fraud, and also because the agent of the Board was not authorized to deal with persons outside the butch ers who had rented the stalls. Where i the monev ? Who's cot it ? Is - -J , u there anything rotten in the trans action ? A public office is a public trust and any citizen has the right to investigate it.
