INGERSOLL. COUNCIDMAN McMURRAY'S APOLOGY. The following communication ft at this office today by an Charles McMurray: To The Editor of the New ain Herald: I wish for an opportunity to explain my position, and to an- swer the questions asked me in your editorial of April 25th. You ask in what way do 1 con- sider the Home and City Guards slacke I consider them slackers only in as far as they are attempting to evade the pay- ment of just taxes. The Govern- ment needs all the money - its citizens can possibly spare for furthering the needs of the war. When this idea, is followed out to its conclusion it means that our City needs all the money it can obtain. Now, if the Home and City Guards are attempting to evade any part of the i gations to the City. they doing their full duty, and in that, and in only that, did 1 refer to hem as cers I am very sorry inte retation remar! T that I had bnake myself council. I appreciate was Couneil- Brit- that an unjust was put upon my am also very sorry no opportunity to clear before the the good the Home and City Guardsare doing, nd 1 am favorably inclined to- fwards them, in everything except he cxemption ‘of their taxes. I hope this communication 1l explain my position and do [something towards righting an inintentional upon our Home and City truly, TLAS. (Signed,) McMURRAY.
