Akron seems very fearful that a
Canton man will put some life into
something in which the Summit county
city has a claim. Regarding Mr.,
Writings proposition to secure GER
tain rights at Turkeyfoot lake, the
Akron Beacon says:
II is not likely that Akron people will

for water works purposes is one Of the
most important that has confronted

Canton who couldn't count, and the
result is that your home town is rated

want to assure you that your home
town has been growing right along
during your absence, and that ever,

that they are safe. II it were not sc

next time you come, Mr.. President, We
will have mayor who will stand ur
manfully for his home town and fight
for it's good name and prestige.
