To the Voters of the City of Rock Is
and: I believe in municipal ownership
IF all public utilities. / believe IN the
ity doing all its own contract work. /
believe better work and material can be
had at less cost to the city. Did you
ever stop to figure that II you were paid
for the franchises (you have given away
without any compensation what Wall
street values them at, the interest on
them which you pay Wall street would
pay all the expenses of the city and
schools and then there would be money
left. In fact, you would have no taxes
to pay. 1 believe from my business ex-
perience 1 would be capable of helping
to bring about the above condition.
