John Conklins salary He surely earns
it But if this ticket is elected, poor
jim COnklin will lose his salary They
/ said that John Connors made such
good SUPERINTENDENT of the pest house
that they made him park commission
er. Yet they had to keep Mr. Harris
on the payroll to tell COnnors which
trees were dead and which were alive
They doubled the cost of the park com
cheney. II they wanted man to take
care of the parks, Harris was the man.
But there had to be change and John,
after he had had shave and a mas
! sage, was moved from the pest house
and put in charge of the parks. Yet
they talk about the efficient park
| commissioner.
The Disposal Plant.

I brought that matter UP and they set

I did not wipe away the smell. 1t is a
/ disposal plant that is no good and its

plant back to Seattle and give it to the
/ man who planned it and do something

AssauItinE Citizens
This is the United States OF America
and ii has a cosmopolitan population
But Fred Delgado, or any other police
officer. has no right to draw a salary
from the city and from the government
across the river at the same time. I

stop in the city of FL Paso.
East III PRsO Neglected.
East El PasO is neglected. The peo-
pie wanted the pest house moved and
the council told them there was moth
ing doing. I believe in taking care of
the sick at the pest house. but I also
believe that we owe duty to
every man, woman and child IN
FL PasO, and the pest house should be
moved Maybe this thing that is cpl
demic would not have been so bad II
the pest mouse had been moved out Of
town.
