ILLUSTRATION: Graphic

A letter written by Geraline G. Minton concerning the boat tax

(Currents, Jan. 29) contained a typographical error that occurred in

the editing process. The letter should have read, in part: ``In

1993, Mayor Gloria O. Webb and others met with newspaper

representatives to discuss the negative publicity that the city had

received. Hopefully this hasn't influenced or deterred the

newspaper's coverage since.''
