(• Cn March ?,3th I wrote to you, and. I
also VTOto to Ivin# J :I<; McCu.-rey ■« Jr#,
Attorr.cy*.At~Lav, rjqucst;.ng th.it tho
hou-irg on tho Dillingham Pn.bl.ic Utility
Dt.s~"ict Dleotion, rchcdueod for Apri 1
2ie bo post period until the Floating
Court arrive.3 in Lillingham# I signed
those letters as Pr^s-dent of the
Ji 11; ngham Tovrn Mootinr? rhich, upon
critical examination, gives the impres
sion that this muteor cf postporenent
ye.3 discussed in the Town Hooting and
the* letter sanctioned by that body* I
wish to 3tute at this time that 1 did
this v/riting entirely cn cy cvn, thinking
1 vus acting in the public interest, but
re ill so now, since my natives have boon
questioned by some of the members of the
orgar-ination? that I should have signed
my name as an individual instead oi
apparently being the representative of
the Town Meeting, and-, in the absence
of group sanction, I should have used
the pronoun I instead of we*
While I believe a majority of the
members of cur Town Meeting have no fault
to find with my writing of the letters
to you and to Mr# MeCarrey, nor any
fault to find with the result of the
letters; cti:l,in the absence of any
parliamentary action I want to make it
clear this is only my opinion#
In ny letters to you and to Mr#
McCurrey, I mentioned it seemed unfortu
nate that the liquor hearings and the
Public Utility hearings were scheduled
for the some day, and suggested this be
changed# My thought yhoti I v-Toto the
letters was that prejudice might bo
aroused unfavorably against the Public
Utility as a result of possible tensions
and turmoil created by the heirings on
the liquor hoararea > but it appears seme
members .u our organization thought I
eve ant the TudIIc Utility hearings might
haro an adverse effect on the liquor
applications#
Iz has 'soon insinuated I had a personal
motive in asking for the postponement#
in That I have an interest in the grant™
ing of a liquor license to the etoru
in vhich I am employed* To correct that
impression 1 wish to state that I do not
care Jbclhor the z\:o hearings are hold
on th« earns day or not $ except from iho
standeeiar- of besc serving the public
