! "a WIS i'm IOI years, iHe SCOIS OF
more business men of the city u
/ charge OF the Citizens Campaign for
/ ratification of the water and light con-
tract are holding meetings every
night and are planning for the cleo
( ton Saturday Men VINO for years
have never been seen working to-
/ gether in a movement are pulling for
the ratification with hearty will
! Brunswicllians are at last getting
/ together" and on the common plat
form of progress and prosperity" are
putting to rout those who are oppos-
ing the citizens program simply to
keep up the old time spirit Of strife.
Last night it was definitely decided
! to hold the mass meeting ON Thurs
/ day night at the courthouse. Col.
c. p. Goodyear and other we'll known
citizens will address the meeting.
The proposed contract will be dis
cussed in all of its phases and every
| citizen no matter how he stands on
the proposition is invited to attend.
The election Saturday will be inter-
esting in one respect and that is in
! the number of volunteer workers from
the ranks of business men and others
who are seldom seen taking part in
an election.
The mass meeting Thursday night
promises to be a red -retter event ana
a rally which every citizen should at
! tend.
Not Time to Experiment.
Il shall certainly vote for a ratif-
/ cation of the water and light contract
next Saturday. | believe it is for the
| best interests of the city that some
| thing be started to break this dullness
which has hung over our city for
/ many weeks and months and unless
| something is done and soCn at that we
/ must suffer even more. The build
| ing of trolley line does not have
/ the weight with me as it does with
many, but recognize that in its
! building many men must be employed
| and this work will continue some
| time causing the expenditure of
large amount in the city during the
! time. This money will go to labor
and that will help those who need
! it. The city is not to my mind pre-
! pared at the present time to take
I over and operate the water plant We
have not used to good advantage
what we now have and there is no
use in experimenting. The situation
is entirely too critical to warrant it.
| have not had any sound arguments
made to me against the ratification
of the contract and there are
enough in favor of it to show me that
it is to the interest of the city that
it be made. Rev. M. T.. Austin"
A Buster Brunswick.

buster Brunswick and the trolley win

Will Create New Values.
q was opposed to ratifying the con
tract until l had presented to me the
point of the new values which will be
created by the building of a trolley
line. can readily see where the
| bringing into market Of considerable
| well located property will work to the
/ benefit of the public. 1 believe 1t is
a good move - Sig Levison,

Boost or Bust
81 want to see a trolley line built.
| was opposed to the ratification be-
/ fore | had given the matter thought.
! The way it strikes me is that this is
our chance to get together to boost
Brunswick. 1t is a case of boost or
! bust and as we can get this improve
ment on a basis which imposes no
hardship upon the average citizen
am heartily in favor of the ratifica-
| ton. DR. H. NJ. Branham
"Let Discordants Hike Out"
"Why, of course l am in favor OF
| the ratification of the contract and
am at a loss to know how any real
good citizen who has the interest Of
Brunswick at heart can be any other
! way. / have lived in Brunswick for
/ 80 years and more and have come to
| the conclusion that we have some in
/ dustrial bakers in this city whose re-
moval would be good thing for the
growth and development Of the COM
| munity. l am for progress and ad-
! vancement and those who do nto be-
| lieve in such a movement ought to
! seek other places more congenial."-

/ talist.
Trolley Necessity.

break the spell or simply drT up, I
certainly shall vote for the ratifca-
