There you are. Instead of HAVING
S9,S9f-O0 in cash in the water depart
ment they did not have one cent.
If you have 10000 in a bank and
YOU give an order or check to anolh-
er man for that 10000 it is yours no
longer. How much money will you
have on hand If YOU have $4,000 In
the bank and YOU give l. l.. Clark
a check for $4,000 and Mr.. Ables here
n check for $1,000? Nothing, of
course
This is the model, hieh-toned busi-
ness administration OF Mayor Brew
er They have S9,S94 in the bank
and they give Jim Pingree a check
for Sl0.125. and still have $9,S94 in
the bank

a right TO find fault with such a lying
and misleading statement as this. /

press purpose of fooliDg people into
electing this Brewer bunch of polite
ians into Office again. Elect them II
YOU want to and by so doing approve
such false and misleading reports OF
Your city AFFAIRS. Why a man who
would lie $4,000 into a report like
this will just as readily make II 500

needs Watching. | saw. shame on
man who would mislead a people who
mortssged their homes for him, who
paid $115.009 extra taxes last year,
who placed every confidence in him

him again through trickery and fraud.
Elect me mayor and I promise YOU
an honest city government and an

Believe me when ! say ! have no
opposition to the waterworbs. We
