Edward Nichols, Voters Service chairman of the New Castle League of Women Voters. 1200 of these non-partisan pamphlets have been distributed free of charge in New Castle this week. Mrs. Nichols is also chairman of the candidate meeting to be held under League auspices next Thursday evening at 8:30 in the cafeteria of the Horace Greeley High School. Hogarth Sweet and William Grier, Republican and Democratic nominees for the office of Justice of the Peace, will speak and answer questions (|)^m the floor. The public is invited. Our Town's Budget Is In The Offing And The Only Way To Go h Upward This is, frankly, one of those stories where the regions of re porting and news gathering ap proach very closely the regions ©(^editorializing. The facts are current but the conclusion that can be drawn from them is so inescapable that merely to re port them seems, of itself, to slant the story. The story is about the Town budget, which is now in process of being drawn up in the operat ing, departments of Town govern ment. This step, called the de partmental estimate, is by law, du£ to be submitted to the Town Supervisor between October 20 and October 30. The Supervi sor prepares an overall estimated budget for the year and it must be submitted to the Town Board by November 10. This budget, as amended by the Town Board, must be adopted by the Board between November 10 and No vember 15, and the adopted bud- g(%must be presented at a pub lic hearing no later than Dec- emiber 10. Having been presented at public hearing, the budget may then be adopted by the DOUBLE HEADER Board for the ensuing business year, with or without amend ments moved at the public hear- ing. (Continued on Page 6) Lawyers For Sweet Gather At Dinner Grier, Democratic candidate for Just ice of the Peace in New Castle, he is willing to take as the issue which he will debate with Ho garth S. Sweet, his Republican opponent at a candidates meet ing to be sponsored here by the New Castle League of Women Voters, the desirability of the Justice office being filled by a man \close to the administra tion of the Town.\ The L. W. V. candidates meet ing is to be held on November 2, in the cafeteria of Horace Greeley school and the two candidates for the only local office at stake in the November election, Mr. Grier and Mr. Sweet, are sched uled to speak on the office of Justice of the Peace. Mr. Sweet, when contacted by the News on Mr. Grier's state ment of the issue, said: \I shall stick to the subject assigned and agreed on with the League of Women Voters when I accept ed their invitation to the candi dates meeting. Any aspect of that issue which my opponent'; wishes to bring up I will meet at the time and on the spot.\ \You will observe,\ Mr. Grier said, \that I did not say 'close to the present administration.' The point I make is larger than lo cal politics. The Justice office is judicial „ through and ;through, iin my opinion, and' should be rigidly* differentiated from the administration and policy-mak- 1 ing sections of Town govern ment. According to reliable re port, and from what I read be tween the lines in the newspap ers, a great deal is going to be made by my opponent of the fact (Continued on Page 2) shown In Iravis Keport s ••There is no longer any bonded indebtedness in the Town as a whole. In 1950 the peak load of maturities in the unincorporated area and in the water districts was reached: $81 thousand was paid on principal alone.

Following hard as they do on the release of the now famous \Hanley Letter,\ these charges of the diversion of some State funds and total disappearance of even larger sums are timed to strike a n even greater blow against the prestige and person al reputations of both Dewey and Hanley, Mr. Garrity said. . \While the specific details can not be revealed until November 1,\ Mr. Garrity declared, \we can say that one of the charges will show that millions of dollars was raised through taxes for the av owed purpose of improvement of ghastly overcrowding in one of our mental institutions. In spite, of the fact that the money was payed into the State treasury more than three years ago, only 22% of the project has been com- pleted..
