. If the democratic officers could and
would carry out their pledges to the
people. The people have looked hope
fully, and of late anxiously for the
promised work. We are approaching
another city election and 1t is our
duty as citizens to look into the record
of the present administration to see
what 1t has done and in what respect
il has failed, to see whether or not
the pledges made us have been kept
and to see whether it is safe to CON
tinue democratic administration in
charge Of our affairs
The pledges made by Mayor Lester
and his supporters are well remcm-
bcred by all Of ms. but to bring them
more clearly to mind we viii quote
briefly from the democratic platform
of two years ago.
The former city council, which was
republican, realizing the urgent need
of a new sewer system, and that urgent
need still exists, considered an issue OF
100000 of bonds with which to build
an absolutely complete system, includ-
ing both sanitary and storm sewers
This sewer system was planned 70 be
a gravity system which would endure
for all time to come without any
extra expense except such as comes in
time from ordinary wear and tear.
IL was found from estimates made
by the city engineer and careful in
Vestigation 10y the council that while
the entire amount of the proposed
bond issue would not bc needed for
the construction about S325, 600 would
be needed for the sanitary sewer sys-
TEN and about S50.000 for construction
of the storm sewer with &25.00O for
extensions and extra emergencies. IL
was expected. however. To issue only
such part OF the bonds as might be
actually needed and il was thought
only sound business judgment to have
the -stditionai amount of $4,000 for
use in building such extensions as
might be needed from time to time to
meet the growth and development OF
the city.
Republicans still believe this rea-
suning 20 be sound and in view of tho
deplorable condition in which VIC now
find ourselves many democrats have
come to the same belief. for this Is a
matter which gets close To- the pocket
books and the homes of ms an and
political differences are likely to be
forgotten in meeting The actual con-
ditinn. The democrats. however. went
before the people with the false dec
iarati0n that 10 was the republicans
plan to squandcr the entire S4HA 000
