publicity In all council meetings. es-
pecially In the expenditure OF the |
taxpayers money; the encourage
meDt OF all Legitimate businesses IN |

In the upbuilding OF our city, and in
accord with this position we pledge
our unnlterable opposition TO the
Sellers policy To bond the city in the
magnificent sum OF seven hundred
ana fifty thousand dollars with
TO purchase the old wnter
works system, thereby doubling the
upon the taxpayers OF the
city; that we are u-nequivocally on
posed TO the extension OF any fran
chises now existing In the city, or
the granting OF new franchises, or
the further bonding OF the city with
out first submitting the proposition
To the taxpayers.
we are opposed TO the brothel.
W. believe that the prosperity OF
Albuquerque II securely founded
the superior advantages OF It's
and the worthy character OF
It's citizens. and the idea that our /
vigorous growth continuing through
the past several years has been In
duccd by a Huperheated atmosphere
generated by h present head OF the |
city admlnist%r ration, Is unworthy Of
reasoning beings, and a Islander upon |
the sturdy citizenship that has ali l.
along been addressing itself 10 the /
demands OF progress.
