the only one of it's kind in the world.
After this great work had been complet-
ed and all bills paid he was able to re-
port the sum of $21, 900 of the sewer fund
uneXpended, not very common occur

to the office which he seeks to fill. Mr..

JAMES f. FRICK.
The Office of street superintendent is
one which requires the services of a
man who has some knowledge as to
what constitutes good public work. He
Should also be one who has some quail
iications as a business man. Mr.. j. E.
Ff1ck, the union candidate, seems to be
the logical person to fill this position.
Having had thirteen years experience
in the construction Of all kinds of public
work, and being competent to judge as
to whether the books of the office are
properly kept, 1t goes without saying
that if elected to fill that important po-
stion he would make an ideal sreet su-
perintendent. He has also been resi-
dent taxpayer of this city for eleven
years, hence is naturally in touch with
those who pay taxes. He also believes
in the city ownership of water works
and is also a firm friend of the laborer
He has always paid the highest wages
never less than 50 per day. He is also
wheelman and therefore is naturally
| interested in good roads. Heis being sup
ported by people of all political parties
and his election is foresone conclusion

near Rock Island, ILL.,, in 1857
He early began work as a contractor of
public work. He removed to California
in 1885, since which time he has been
identified with large number of public
enterprises in this city, probably the
most important of which was the build
ing of large portion of the outfall sew
er. which he completed to the satisfac-
tion of. every one
LUCIEN e. SEAMAN.
For two years 1S92- -1S94) L. f. Seaman
demonstrated as police judge his fitness
to occupy a public trust. He is the
| union nominee for assessor. an office
which needs just his character of man.

county, Illinois. Leaving the farm he
took a law course in the Union college

| Ten years ago he came to this city since
which time he has been practicing law,
except for two years when he held the

a resident of California for about thir-
teen years. He has been identified with

| park He also has the credit of obtain

the committee for building the outfall

| priaton voted by the people for that
| purpose, but turned over to the general
| fund quite large sum, something
very unusual in the construction of pub
| lie works.
