would be paralleled The Kings County Democracy
must do It's share toward saving city and
borough from such dire calamity.
The present City and Brooklyn Borough admin

Mayor has maintained a high official standard
throughout his term. and personally, no less than
through his heads of departments. he has fulfilled
the fusion campaign pledge of clean progressive
and businesslike administration.
AS residents OF Brooklyn proud OF the
brilliant record made by the administration Of
Borough President. Under his watchful and ener-
getic rule Brooklyn has been undergoing a
derful Transformation. Within a year and half
he has largely removed the traces Of neglect and
msgovernment that have kept us in state OF
provincaltsm for over generation. At the end
Of his term 1T may fairly be expected that he shall
have put Brooklyn on a plane of local improve
ment equal 70 that Of any modern city His public
achievements bid fair to prove shining and
memorable epoch In our civic annals.
