Kelly offers Resolution.


John R. Kelly stated that Mr..
Daugherty reminded him of what the
city ought to be. He referred to the
advice given by Hugh L. Cooper when
he first came here that we should be-
ware OF the land srecuiator The
speaker said that we ought to i'm
prove and develop the town as it
is rather than to develop a new
section on the outskirts 6. the city.
He offered resolution that the in
coming city council use steps to
build sewer in Bloody run as soon
as possible. Mr. Walden then stated
that he thought all present might
not be familiar with the question and
offered the substitute that the in
coming council be requested to in
vestigate the advisability of building
the sewer at once. Mr.. Kelly argued
that investigation never built sew
er and that he thought all present
were aware of the necessity of build
ing the sewer at once. The matter
was passed, however, as changed by
MI. Walden. 1t was decided to adj
5lourn until the coming Friday night.

A new feature was injected into
one held Friday evening in the coun-
ty court house when Attorney Frank
Nj. Rallinger asked the candidates to
declare their positions On the sub
jects of legalized saloons, Sunday
theatres and Sunday vaudeville. None
of the candidates present answered
him, although kew. j. F. Sanders. who
had spoken previously, hsu touched
upon these subjects. Rev. Sanders
had said that 1t was not in the power
of the mayor to close legaiized sa-
Icons and that if elected mayor he
would be too busy with other import
ant matters to pay any attention to
Sunday baseball and Sunday theatres
as long as they were kept clean.
In his talk Mr.. Ballinger said that
the city council was not required to
issue licenses to saloons even after
they had complied with all the re
quirements of law. He said that a
few years ago a certain preacher in
town had started to close Sunday
theatres and Sunday baseball and
that he was unable to account for the
preachers sudden change in attitude.
He said that he wanted the candidates
present to get up before the audience
and go on record as to what they
would do in regard to these matters
If they were elected.
