provements than all other Boards, and 1t
a good policy not to swap horses in the
middle of a stream. Know your candi-
dates They are men of honesty and abil-
ity. We know what they have done. We
don't know what the others will do. Let

echo when he was introduced. I'm not
a speaker he said, "but when 1 get down
to the Street and Water Board I can
keep my end up and give the people of
this section all that's coming to them.
When l was first elected to the Street
and Water Board I was known as the
member from the muddy end Our
streets are now all paved. In all of these
improvements my colleague, Mr. Hauek
was with me. If elected again, and |
have no doubt we will be. we will follow
in the same course. The money appro-
priated for the use of our Board has been
used honestly and our streets have been
kept clean" (Applause)

settle it," he said, ..and we have done so
to the entire satisfaction of everybody.

unbalanced bid system for public work,
