Editorial We Regret This Move Town Treasurer Nunes Withdraws Candidacy
The withdrawal of Town Treasurer Alfred N. Nunes as a candidate for re election removes from public office a man who has ably discharged his duties. He has been conscientious clear thinking and able to present straight forward analysis. He will be sorely missed when he steps down to devote more time to personal affairs. Leaders of both parties must select a capable successor for an important town post.
