TRYING TO URAWL ourIMayor Yeiser is quoted in thoI

official printer OB referring to tho SunIas an unreliable paper in connec ¬

tion with tho article A few days agoabout tho citys refusal to pay to thopublic library trustees tho 811500ap ¬

propriated by the city for the libraryfund The Sun published its state ¬

meats on tfoo authority of on ollicor oftho library board and from the recordsof the library board which aro publicproperty and which aro incorrect ifho Sun was incorrect

The excuse offered last night forfailing to pay tho money over to thebgartf on demand was that tho mayor rhad no authority to pay It except on

order of the boards This may botrue and tho reason it was not done

butit IB not the reason given the true ¬

tees when the president of tho libraryboard attempted to get tho money lastMonday If ho nail then been toldI

that the board of trustees would boI

given the money as soon as tho council I

and aldorirau ordered the mayor to payit tho trustees would have chcerffillywaited Instead they wore told thata resolution had been passed orderingthe inonoy paid only to the permanentboard of trustees and not to thisI

boardAsa result tho records of tho library

board show that on application of tbopresident for tho money tho city re-

fused¬

it Tho records show for them

selvesItthe truth is tbo adminis ¬

trations bluff has been called by thelibrary trustee + who announced thatI

they would hold onto the librarybuilding until they Apot the 91 BOOI

promised them by tbo oity When theyapplied to tho city they wore given I

to understand instead of that theywould bo paid the money when thoboards authorized it that they wouldnot bo paid it at all and it Will con ¬
