kory Record:
that you hav& a lot to say
Stroui) in regard to build
ing municipal building and petitions
for bond election covering cost of
same. I wish to make a statement
af facts that I think the public should
: know.
First, Mr. Stroup did not want to
take part in the contract to build said
; building, but Mr. Moss and myself in-"
jsistcd on his taking part, knowing
that we needed more financial strength
than ourselves to secure bond, discount
our bills and handle the work suc
cessfully. And it was only on Friday
night, four days before the. letting, that
Mr. Si roup agreed to take part in con
tract. Hence yew. se--e it is not a,
case of sour grapes,.
Second. There had been a strong .
sentiment in favor of holding an elect
ion and let the. peop! decide whether
; t he bonds should be issued. Previous
I to its letting arid from the excuse, giv-
an wiien a:: 'bids were rejected, -tnat;
is "because of the high cost of ma
terial,'' an-.l in the next breath passed

10 ill CONTRACT
!a resoiunoM authorizing1 tne city man
pi s 5" i't ft l as,"- r to go. ahead and build same wc
U-ould nr.t follow such reasoning and
ur.on- discussifn bv some ot tne best
i citizens ot i he city in regard to same
J the sentiment against the bonds being
'issued without authority from the peo-
le was chrystalized and these petitions
i were encouraged as much by Moss and
j myself as they were by Mr. Stroup-'
and if you have a cause that you aie
- afraid to leave to the people then you;
'arc in a bad fix. " -
Personally, I am not a voter but' I
; am a tax: payer in the city and I am
; in favor of the city having this build--ing
and if the city can -buy the ma
Iterial and labor cheaper than a con-.
I tractor then I am in favor of the icity
! manager buiiding the building and I
am sorry i ever asked Mr. fcstroup to
join in on this contract or that I per-
sonally bad anything to do with mak-'
' ing a bid on the building
! Personally, I am unable to
seei
where there is anything to gain by this
! discussion, but I feel it is due Mr,
iStrcup to make thi.s statement.
. Yours !i e,spectfully, . ' '
