To the Supervisor & Town Board. of the Town of Mamaroneck, Gentlemen: In view of the fact that a communication has been presented to your Board in which the Richbell Press deems that its contemporaries aimed at a conspiracy against the said Richbell Press. It is our desire to go on record before your Board and the public of the Town of Mamaroneck as follows: The Ricbell Press being a Republican newspaper and always has been. That the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck is a Republican Board- entirely. It is therefore the sense of the Richbell Press that it should not be obliged to share any public printing of any Town notices with its two Democratic contemporaries . In the controversy over the tax sale published last May, the Richbell Press wishes to state, that this printing was taken with the understanding that the Richbell Press was to do the entire work and pay the entire expense, which it did, and to divide with its contemporaries on a one third basis, the profits. As the Board of Auditors of the Town of Mamaroneck saw fit to cut the fifty cents a parcel price, which we under- stood would be paid for the publication of the tax sale, the amount received from the Supervisor only paid the expense of publication of said sale, and there was no profits to divide. Hoping this is very plain and that the Town Board will spread this on the minutes as it has done our contemporaries communication, I remain, Yours very truly, Sgn. J. Wallace Clapp. "A Real Republican" The communication was ordered filed with the Clerk.
