Kditor of the News Item, Dear Sir: You will confer ;i favor 01 tin- taxpayers by granting us a smnl space in your paper in reply to tin lot tor signed by John L. Farr"ll. A. bo has laid down Iho gauntlet it i' time that someone took it up so hen goes let the chips fall where thej may We will take up the question o janitor and truant officer. When Sir, Dungleberg presented his petition t< the undersigned we told him that lit might as well save his time and la bor but he went ahead and done ar anyone has a perfect- right to do a? long a.s they believe they are not getting justice done to them. I don't see why all this troubU should be as long as your cotiv. spond-nt only stated the true facts of the case but it may be that my eyes are grow ing dim. Our friend, .John I. Farrell. .loir not deny that the said petition was circulated and presented to the Board ot School Directors of Cherry town ship. Mr. Parrel) says that '-if the Hoard (tf Directors failed to elect .Mr. Dungleberg, two reasons may be gDen. Mr. Dungleberg oifercd to do the janitor work for $11.90 per month but he offered no bid fordoing the work as truant officer. The Hoard advertised in the three Du shore papers, that they would receive bids for both, now according to his own words a man could bid for one or both. Mr. I.owrv offered a bid ot % ; l!) per month for serving as janitor and truant officer. Mr, Farrell does not state what amount Mr. I.owrv receives for each office but he must get mo. than $4.10 per month for truant officer as Mr. Farrell says it would be a difficulty to get anyone to act as truant officer for that amount. Where did the school di rectors got their authority to hav< Mr. I.owrv bi<| !( certain amount for each office or why did not .Mr. I.ow ry state in his I>i■ I a certain amount for janitor and truant officer he was bidding for two offices or did he leave that for his friends to dolor him as Mr. Farrell states that Mr. Dowry might have on the School Hoard. Air. Farrell, how much trouble had the School Directors of [.'berry township to get a truant off icer last year or didn't they have uiy, of course it was an appoint ment f.om the hands of your Honor ible liody or do you want to make the taxpayers believe that you <1 i< 1 We will try to put your explanation >f the Legal < "ontract with the present janitor as long as they have to make his bin to suit the occasion. Mr. Farrell, do you not think it would be a good idea, the next time >"ou advertise for bids, to state that no bid would be considered from any >ne unless he might have friends on the Board oris known to the said Isody. We wonder how long a man lias to live in Cherry township be fore he is k nowu by the School Di rectors of Cherry township. If 25 years as a taxpayer and a voter is not sufficient evidence, a man should t! all times get credit for oiling the truth so we will have to do so with Mr. Farrell and we also think that friendship should cease when it doilies to letting of bids for any office. Mr. Farrell. take your correspond ence to task for asking the question, •'can anyone tell why we are going to have only six months school this term?" Now we cannot see w here there is anything wrong in asking the question but it may be that "our eyes are grow ing dim." There was no charge of graft or stealing made that 31 r. Farrell need to run before the public and cry out that we are iiccused of graft and stealing, but re lating the old saying, "paper will not refuse ink", his letter is very in teresting but he forgets that there is ill ways two sides to a question and no man can make a decision until be gets both sides of the question. Now Mr. Farrell, my valuation is |so and my school tax for the past three years have been as follows: 11102, $1.50; 190.J, $1.59 and 1994, .<!• D 5. Mr. Editor, 1 will enclose my tax receipt for the year 199.'! which will show you that I am not making any false statements. Will Mr. Farrell explain why my school tax was 1") cents more for 1994 than it was for the previousy< 'o-s. It was n good thing for the taxpayers that our School Directors w-re so consid erate with us not to raise our school tax, which we are thankful for. Now, dear readers, we will draw to a dose but before -o doing, we will sav there was a mistake in the signature and that .lohn is only playing the part of tie monkey and we sill know what happened to him. Thanking you, Mr. Kditor, for your favor, I am, Yours respect fully, Charles B Watson. Holiday Announcement CHRISTMAS TOYS.
