ing It looks to a man tip n treethnt
if the sewer that is defective belongs
to the city it should be repaired nt
once, nnd if to private parties the
council would have the power to
compel the owners to cither repair
it or tnkc it tip entirely. It should
not take a month to settle n little
thiiiK like tlmt.
We think it hiirli lime or .mc
one to show their hand in the 1 at
ter of candidates for the co i h
city election, ho inr as this p -ser
is concerned 110 one need be nfi lid
to hand in his name as a candidate
for we are not owned, controlled or
abetted by any party class or fuc
lion. We do not believe in classes
or factions, but do believe in the
best man for the place ami that h
the policy we shall follow regard
less 01 puny. 11 we iiiiiik a m iiio

snail say so 11111101111 tne man - e
discard may ic tue best irieuil we

public. I
accordingly mailed notices to the
members of the club stating that
the question of voting bonds for
the erection of city docks and pur
chasing the ferry, among other
things, would be considered nt the
next meeting and urged a large
attendance. At the next meeting,
the question was brought tip by
oueot the members of the club,
and it was the opinion of all mem
bers picscut that tlie city should
own the boat and that it should be
oiwrated free to the public, where- (
iiihiii, by resolution, I was instruct
ed to draft a iK'titinu to the city
council, icqucstiiig it to solicit a
price ftom the owners ol the boat,
and if satisfactory, to submit the
proposition to the electors of the
city iu the April election. I draft-
ed the iKititiou according toinstruc
lions, and was apixiiiited by the
Chair to act as one of the commit
tee 111 circulating it for .signatures,
which I declined, stating that 1
was attorney for the St. Johns
transportation company, and did
not desire to take any ttart tu it, as
some one would be sure to say that
I was looking after the interest of
the Transportation company. I
nave never asked a single person
tu St. Johns to vote for tlie pur-
base of the bout, or iu any way
advocated the purchase of it by the
city, directly or indirectly, and I
am informed and believe that not
one ot tue directors or stockholders
of the St. Johns Transportation
company ever have.
When the first article came out
iu the Journal, I called at the office
of Geo. M. Tiowbridge, city editor,
and told htm in justice to my client
I thought he ought to get the facts
and modify his statement. lie
asked me how much the owners
actually juid for the boat. I told
him 1 did not know, but knew they
had considerable money invested
iu it, nud considering the work
done on it by Peterson Urothers
& Smith personally, I did not
think they would realize very much
on their investment should they
sell tt to the city at the price qttot
ed 18,097.75. The following!

busy and if he wanted to see me
he would have to come to my
oflice. He then stated that he
understood the St. Johus Trutispor
tation company was trying to sell
the ferry boat, which his clients
participated iu building: that the
uewspatKrs had some damaging in
formation and could block the sale
to the city, but if we would pay
him $603, 15, which is the amount
of n fictitious claim for extras
Hirstel claims to have furnished
the boat, these reports would be
1 suppressed, otherwise they would
reach the public and the sale would
surely be blocked. I informed him
that tlie St. Johns Transportation
company was making no effort to
sell the boat to the city and there
was no reason why we should be
blackmailed into payiug him any
thingto give the Journal all the
leprosy dojie that his mind could
originate. He remarked; "Then
take the coiiscquencts."
I submitted the Journal the fol
lowing statement in reply to their
first article:
