1t is not the purpose of this writer
/, at this time to antagonize the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Langsford. and we wish
it to be Just - distinctly understood
! that we are not declaring for him.
We, and those others of the citizen
ship who are pledged to the improve
ment OF the city. are ION the fence,
and our fall will be regulated by
the declarations of Mr.. Langsford.
| There are some things he must
promise II he wishes to gain the sup
port of large portion of the citizen
ship.
! Early in October there was held
at the court house mass meeting
of citizens, at which time complaint
was made as to the existence of Ger
tain evils, and the meeting manifest
ed its opposition to evasion OF law
by the adoption of some very force
full resolutions We were not in that
meeting but believe heartily in all
that was said and done. How does
Mr. Langsford stand on this?
In with other resolutions adopted
the printed proceedings OF this cit-
zens meeting contains this;
Recognizing that our city is To-
Gated in the greatest county in the
greatest state in the union, and that
the citizenship is. generally speak
ing of the best, and wanting our
city to be in every way up to date
and progressive,
1--WE recommend our square should
be paved, and also portions of the
| streets leading from the square to
| the end of the business houses. Our
! sidewalks should be either of ce-
ment or brick, and OF uniform width.
! The laws that we have in our city
ordinances and those we shall have
should be rigidly enforced
The sanitary condition of the
! city is not what it should be. The
/ grasses and weeds are permitted to
grow on the sidewalks. and on the
streets and alleys, and provision
should be made for keeping them
! clean.
| Therefore. be it resolved. that it
! is the sense of this body that the
| man who should be elected as our
next mayor should be a man fully
! in sympathy with the above, and
who is expressly willing to use every
effort to carry them into effect.
Resolved, Second, That we should
have city physician, one of whose
duties shall be to point out to the
city council unsanitary nuisances
that should be abolished
/ Resolved Third, That our next
mayor and the city council should
use every effort in their power to
! beautify and make sanitary and at
tractive our beloved city of WaXaha-
chic
