Paonessa, in an- swer to Mr. Quigley's statement that he owed an apology to the men who served on the Carnival committee dur- fig Old Home Week, has written the following open letter to Mr. Quigley: New Britain, April 5, 1922 “To the Editor of the New Britain Herald, New Britain, Conn. Dear Sir: 1 desire to through your columns my opponent’s purely political letter published in your last issue. I made remarks in a recent speech about the handling of the Carnival. This money was original- 1y advanced with the intention of al- lowing the committee to do their busi- ness unhampered and that the money and additional sums would come back to the city to be used in providing gome permanent benefit to the ex- service men. Mr. Quigley was the honorary chair- man of the Welcome Home commit- tee which handled this Carnival, and was the central and active figure in the whole proceeding. Prior to, dur- 4ng, and after the Carnival, even up o today he is busy defending and #Arying to explain the lamentable re- sult. I brought this matter up at this gime in this eampaign. to show what we may expect from Mr. Quigley, and the manner in which he plunges our ity into political attempts to win popular favor. And now Mr. Quigley is up to his old tricks again. In a clever scheme to alienate from my support the friends of all of the members of that com- ‘mittee, he parades their names in the mewspapers of our city and tries t make it appear that 1 accused them of stealing and cheating, when as a mat- ter of fact I have the highest regard for them and know how hard they worked. It is Quigley himself who Is bringing forth the names of our prom- inent citizens who served on that com- mittee, and it is only because he did this that T make this reply. It is a long time since the Carnival, but our public records are enduring. I wish to quote from the records of the common council two letters which appear in Volume 16, Meeting No. 10, pages and 23: answer 22 September 5 Mr. E. N. Humphrey, Chairman General Committee ‘Welcome Home Celebration New Britain, Conn My Dear Mr. Humphrey: It seems to me proper that the original con- tracts, concessions, and special privi- leges with list of terms be turned over to my committee at once, also that a representative of my committee act in conjunction with the representatives of the special committees at the col- lecting of all moneys and that this money be turned over to my commit- tee at the time of the collection, to be counted in the presence of the 1919 special committees and a representa- tive from the finance committee. 1 am not asking this with the idea of intruding upon the privileges of any of the special committees but this is the only businesslike way of handling the matter. Will you kindly take this matter up at the meeting of the general com- mittee Monday next. Signed Yours very truly, J. C. LOOMIS. ‘ September 17, 1919 Mr. Humphrey: Chairman Welcome Home Committee, New Britain, Conn. Dear Mr. Humphrey: I regret to in- form you that the terms of the agree- ment arrived at between the chairman of the Carnival committee and myself, at a conference h¥)d at the Elks’ club, at which Mr. Sprague, Mr. Hanna, you and myself were present, are not in the least being lived up to. At that time it was understood and agreed that the entire money would be brought to my office at night and de- posited in the vault; counted, checked, and distributed here in the morning. This is not being done. Ifurthermore, 1 wish to receive a copy of all contracts and concessions which the Carnival committee had let, and up to the present writing these papers have not been turned over to me. Again, none of the money which is collected is being turned over to me, and 1 am absolutely without any check, whatever, on the receipts of the Carnival committee, Signed Yours very truly JOHN C. LOOMIS, Treasurer, The vouchers referred to above have not been received by Mr. [L.oomis. The third letter was published last evening by Mr. Quigley and was dated December 1, 1919, the date of the submitting of the committee's re- port to the common council, which re- port was held up by me because of the two letters of Mr. Loomis, which appear above, and the letter which follows, which also appears in the same volume, meeting No. 10, dated December 17, 1919, Mr. J. C. Loomis, New . Britain, Conn. Dear Sir: In accordance with your request I'have carefully verified, using cancelled checks with proper endorse- ‘|ment, each item of disbursements ap- pearing on the attached treasurer's re- port, and I hereby certify said report to be correct. I have audited all vBuchers, and your apportionments to the various committees are correct as submitted in the attached report. I am unable to audit the statement of the Carnival committee, as you fail to supply me with the vouchers. Signed Yours respectfully, GEORGE P. SPEAR. These letters are self explanatory, and it was because I had too much respect for the men in charge that I objected to the acceptance of the re- port, which they had to compile on such meagre information. If this is a sample of the way in which business is done wunder Mr. Quigley, it makes me try all the harder to keep him out of the posi- tion as mayor. Very truly yours, A. M. PAONESSA.

PRINTING UREAU CLOSED Department Will Be Reorganized ~Many Employes to Lose Jobs Washington, April 8.—Divisions of the bureau of engraving and printing, engaged in the production of bank notes, bonds and postage stamps, will be closed tonight for an indefinite period for the purpose of taking an inventory of the plant frpm which James L. Wilmeth and 28 chiefs, su- perintendent and foreman were re- moved by presidential order one week 380. Decision to close at least the prin- cipal portions of the big plant, the largest of its kind in the world, was disclosed today as having followed a conference late yesterday between Louis Hill, the newly appointed direc- tor division chiefs of the bureau and treasury officials. Further Havdingized The inventory it was said would be undertaken by treasury accountants and department of justice agents. Hints also were given that during the cloging the bureau would be further reorganized or “Hardingized,” as one official put it. New steel plates will be installed for the purpose of preventing counter- feiting of the various bank notes and bonds printed in the plant as the old plates had become so worn that it was found that prints taken from them were comparatively easy to counterfeit, The burean employs about persons and it was estimated about 4,000 of the total would affected by the closing. 6,000 that be Wi SHOOTING CUP Hamilton, Bermuda, April 8.—In the finals of the trapshooting tourna- ment yesterday O.
