Jeremiah Donovan in his 5 cch last night stated that he

cingloquection without tearing the cloak“ of’hypocrisy and
mouth 1fromhill-«town shoulders. He intimates; generalizes,
sidesteps and evadeis'thc real issue. He doesn't tell the voters

what Jeremiah‘nouovan would “have done.

Mayor Carl Axel llarslroln.

In our column of yesterday, owing to a typographical error. in the
copy. it‘itppcured that the cash and securities in the sinking fund
totalled $234,300.19 on September 1, 1015, instead of September 1, 1016.

With this correction, we ngiilli ask whether the real total at the.
end of the fiscal year, August 31. 1010, was 518234330010. 05 appeared in
Mayor Harstrom‘s letter to The Sentinel, or $2l')6.:i85l.48 as appeared in
