ences which have seen it here pro

Aldermen Assume
Blame For Rates i
To Editor of The Star
Many people seem to be under
the impression that Mayor Dorsey
is responsible for the change in
method of calculating the light
bills. He is not. responsible for the
change as h< was only carrying out,
the instruction of the board. The
method how used evidently must
be correct as it is the one followed
by other cities and towns of this
section.
Will state further that the mayor
has had nothing to do with light
rates, water rates, tax rates, or any
city ordinance. It is the duty of the j
aldermen to decide these things, I
and the duty of the mayor to see i
that the instructions of the board
are carried out, and this has been
done to the'^SHMsfaction of the
board.
