Correction About Chief Coffey, March 27, 1925

In an editorial last week under the caption “Law Enforcement” the Press stated that the town board some months ago passed a resolution requiring the Chief of Police to remain in town at all times excepting in cases of emergency. Chief Coffey states that no such resolution was ever passed. The book of minutes contains no such resolution. The information which our statement of last week was based came to us direct from the Mayor of Franklin. The Mayor now states that he was mistaken and that no such resolution appears to have been acted upon by the town board. The Press is sorry to have been misled on this matter and gladly publishes this correction.
