Point TO the Record.
at q meeting Of the Democratic eN-
ecutive committee Of the city, the fol
lowing statement was adopted.
TO the Voters Of chickasha.
In view OF the fact that efforts are
being made to discredit the present
city administration in Chickasha, We
desire to submit a few facts Tor your
consideration
J. On July T. 1911, after Mayor Bur-
tons term began, there was deficit
Of scopes in the sinking funds of the
city This deficit the city was, BY
law duty, bound to make good, It s
now reduced TO s20545S.
?. For the year ending March /,
1913, the net receipts OF the water de-
partment show an increase Of $l2S5.4s,
while during the past seven months.
during which Mayor Burton has beel
in charge Of the department the net
receipts show an increase Of $2913
over the preceding seven months
g. For the year 1910 the expense
Of tie street sweeping department
was sss068Oi for the year 1912 this
amount was reduced to 1924, effecting
a saving of ss0S2
4. During the year 1911 the cost d
the police department was reduced
sl64O without impairing the efficiency
Of the force and at the same time the
eight-hour system was established IN
the department.
5. We call attention to the fact that
during the present administration, for
the first time in the history OF the city
4 the occupation tax. which applies alike
to an citizens. was collected from the
telephone telegraph and express com
panies.
6. For seven months Mayor Burton
has been performing the duties o.
water commissioner, saving to the oits
the $40 per month formerly paid tC
the incumbent OF that office
T. We call attention to the effic
iency Of the health department anc
the gratifying health conditions in tn,
city declared by our county healtl
sofficer to be due to the wholesome
sanitary conditions that have beei
maintained, and we further direc
your attention to the high standard O
efficiency OF our fire department.
8. We do not assert that our cit
administration has been perfect bu
4 we do claim that il has achieved T.
( suits that should commend it to tn
+ taxpayers and warrant confidence 4
! the Democratic party that its repre-
sentatiyes will faithfully continue thel
Z efforts to bring our city governmer
up to the highest standard OF eff
iency and economy and we pledge
