What will we do IL the town goes dark,
Not enough money for the electric

Not enough money for the water plug

Who will pay for the needed police,
Who will furnish the needed grease,
To oil the wheels Of the City's ma
chine,
To keep the town healthy and the
streets clean?
What will we do, will we issue bonds,
To pay our Mayor and dram u
ponds,
What will we do in case of Are,
With our firemen retired and no mon
ey to hire?
When insurance goes up and property
down
With never a job for a nan in town;
When the market is poor for the farm
ers' rye,
His corn and barley, when the town
goes dry?
I'll tell you, friends, tits a serious

Some Of the Fanatics to the town

The only thing left when they stop

Is to cut vi s~uspenders and go
