"It‘s not December we‘re concerned with, it‘s right now," said Mayot Richardson when intérviewed by The Advance late last week in connection with statements made ~locally during the past week. It has been stated by some that the mayor and council â€"are not playing fair with the electorate by not giving out information in regard to the auditing of town bdoks now in progress. Charges against Henry Perâ€" rault and Romeo De Luca do not come up for hearing until June 18th. . Nothing definite can be said yet, the mayor holds, for any information that might be given out would tend to disclose the case against the two formâ€" er town employees before they are acâ€" tually brought to trial. Despite the demand of Councillor J. P,. Bartlieman that information conâ€" cerning the work of government and town auditors be given to the public, the majority of the council feel that at this time it would be unwise to do. so and definitely not within their rights. It has been â€"emphasized from time to time by both the mayor and. other members of the coyncil that t,he: auditors have not confided to them the total amount of the alleged discrepanâ€"| cies. "We are doing our best to clear the thing up and the public may rest asâ€" sured that it will his worship said. "It is not the intention of the majoriâ€" ty of the council to take opportunity of this situation to make ‘ballyhoo‘ for themselves. The majority of the council are more interested in fairness and the true interests of the town than in worrying about how the elections in December will go."

Jackie Easton also gave valuâ€" able assistance in a number of the dances.

The dances selected by Miss Easton for her pupilis were all particularly attractive and every pupil did unusuâ€" ally well.
