Citizens Party Platform.
We. the Citizens Party, in con-
vention assembled, declare that we
believe municipal government
should be conducted upon lines ex-
actly similar to a large business
corporation.
We believe that economy of ad-
ministration can and must be com
bined with efficiency in the highest
of the word.
We believe that no expense to the
city should possibly accrue, and on
the other hand large saving to
the city might possibly be effected.
by the appointment of some member
OF the council or other city officer,
as purchasing agent of the city.
We believe in a careful supervis-
ion OF the road department; that a
small portion of the appropriation |
should be annually spent in per-
manent improvement of roads; that
first attention should be given to
the main arteries of travel; next,
10 the roads lying within the sprink-
ing districts. and the remainder
carefully expended in an effort to
meet the needs of all communities
without favor.
We believe that the water de-
of the city is greatly in
iced Of a thorough overhauling.
We believe that the attitude NJ
he city administration toward pub
ic utilities and enterprises of a pub
&c nature should be such that the
interests Of the city shall be safe
guarded and at the same time the
Introduction of new capital encour-
god.
We believe that all city officers
hould be chosen with special ref
'rence to their ability to conduct
he affairs of the city with strict
economy, having in view the fact
nat taxes are now burdensome to
he citizens.
Furthermore. We pledge our can
lidates. II elected. to the rigid en-
orcement OF all ordinances and laws
necttng the morals Of the COM
huntty. and to an earnest endea-
or In carrying out the ideas ex-
ressed above.
