Philipsburg:--- Island council member Roy Marlin is miffed at the daily newspaper that made it their business to publish a story about his attire on their front page as well as writing an editorial about it. The council man said he did nothing wrong when he did not wear his coat during the opening session of the island council meeting on Monday. Marlin said no one paid attention to what assistant Lt. Governor Ryenold Groeneveldt told him when the meeting was closed off. The councilman said on many occasions he sent articles to the newspaper and it is hidden in the back of the newspaper. Marlin also draws critism the Editorial that was written in the same paper. The councilman said while the Democratic Party is being criticized and accused of playing political games because they did not provide the quorum for Monday's meeting the reporter or editor who chose to write the article should have done some research to see how many times the Democratic Party faction had to give the current coalition the quorum when they called meetings. He said whenever the Democratic Party faction called meetings and they did not have the quorum the coalition would not give it to them. Marlin gave examples about the meetings they called to discuss the budget which had to be postponed for a lack of quorum.
