The lessons you teach are
of tremendous importance to the

The Village Board will have

with his associates except Sidney

statement in which he said he
had written to Mayor Flint ask-ing
-him whether he had been
correctly quoted in the issue of
THE LEADER of July 8 con-taining
an account of the meet-ing
of July 2.
He read the Mayors' reply in
which he wrote: "I -would say
that I believe I was quoted cor-rectly.
I did not emphasize any
porticular words but I think that
was substantially what I said."
-He then said the Mayor had
"let this newspaper article stand
as his deliberate thought and

cpnceming the importance
of the work ^ of the~Sewer Com-
_'mission "certainly 'conveys the
thought? that the 7uncticm«r"pAf^

are so lacking in both import-ance*
and responsibility — these
being the words used in the
comparison as the opposite of

Mr. Davison then went into
details, concerning the responsi-bilities
and functions of the
Hoard of Appeals.
""Now, you gentlemen who are
Trustees of this village either
agree or do not agree with the
statements the Mayor has made,
he added. "You have the power
