my friends ana fellow citizens Of East
Las Vegas i most sincerely ask you,
indulgence for a little bit Of advice
which | visa " giye you and which
will be a refute 70 those 'Incendiary

vice, guided by the results Of my
practical experience in the building
up OF Cur town and country.
Who has not at heart, the many
and proper improvements which in
the last twelve months this west side
town has undergone. through the eff.
fects Of Ii incorporation? All our
business enterprises on this side OF
the river seem to have well approved
these changes. There has nothing
been done so far to obstruct our way
to industry and good government. But
now, this monster of evil meddler
comes TO us from your locality and
with his most undignified "~Incendiary

sympathy with this detrimental
change TO our town? With the Ok.
eeption Of The Optic and a few others

in my favor.
