favor more and better paving Of
both streets and sidewalks and insist
ing upon a strict adherence to the
grades as established by our city en-
gineer.
The paving that has been done in
the past speaks well for our city.
but there has not been enough of it
done In a substantial manner, and
our repair bills for our streets have
already far exceeded the cost of good
substantial paving.
Oeala is badly in need of a city
park. \ place where our children
may enjoy the sunshine and fresh air
that We are so abundantly supplied
with would be something that would
help our future generations to grow
% manhood and womanhood in the
manner in which they were intend

Our city building is one that GER
tainly Toes not reflect much credit
upon Us as progressive citizens, and
! would heartily favor a movement
for a betterment Of this condition.
While I can not promise to acorn
plish everything hat | have outlin-

Use that I win do everything in my
power TO accomplish these particular
ends. besides giving every man, wo-
man and child in Ocala fair and epuit-
able treatment so long as | am mayer
of the city.
Let the slogan of this campaign be
PROGRESS. aud an those that are in
favor of a progressive city remember
that ! stand for everything that will
tend 90 the upbuilding Of our city and
the uplifting of our citizens.
Sincerely.
