CARL GREGG
Candidate for Election as Commissioner No. 3

The Finance and Revenue Office for two years
has now been filled by Carl Gregg in a manner to
deserve the approval of all citizens OF Iulsa and to
reflect credit on himself and the city.
Large sums of moneys are collected through this
office for the running expenses OF the city, as also
the paving taxes, amounting in the aggregate to as
much more.
He has organized this office on such basis as
to- without delay, the public in the most eff
ccnt manner and the personnel of the office is in
stilled with the polite and courteous treatment of
the public that the head of the department is noted
for.
No breath of scandal has been insinuated in con-
nection with the operation disbursements
through this office and it stands as monument of
high-class efficiency that should be satisfying to
the people who placed Mr. Gregg in this position.
Mr. Gregg member of the Board of Com
missioners, has not only looked after the proper
workings Of his immediate department., but has
shouldered his full share of the general work which
falls to the lot of City Commissioner. He has
taken lively interest in the proposed plan to put
traffic-way from First Street to the new County
Bridge over the Arkansas River also on the banks
of Cat Creek Thus providing easy level water
grade from the bridge to First Street with proper
entrances of all intcrsecting streets, Second
Street, Fourth Street and Seventh Street Thus
accommodating the entire city. and eliminating the
pull over the big hill at Ninth and Lawton, which
will be permanent incubus if this traffic is
not secured.
Mr. Gregg believes in furthering the interests of
the CITY by extending Interurban Railroads and
stands at all times ready to encourage such enter
prises.
Mr. Gregg is strictly against public gambling
He subscribes to the Reeder platform in these par
ticuars and further ne is a man in whom reliance
can be placed and when once he takes stand, all
who wish can know where to find him.
He has taken Commissioners full interest in
the Engineering Department and has done all in his
power to give to the outlying additions such as Bell
view. Maple Ridge, South Side, Seg Buena Vista,
PouderPomeroy. Park Hill, Irving Place and all
others, a full and complete sewer service. He be-
leves that the preservation Of the health of the
muntv should become cardinal principle of the
City Commissioner. He has tried his hand at inn
proving Eighteenth Street from Cheyenne Avenue
to Boston Avenue and thinks he is now on plan
which will bring results. This is piece of street
badly in need of Improvement but half of it being
in the county puts it in difficult condition to
improvement. He has boosted for subways and has
seen two put in under his administration: those at
Eleventh and Fifteenth streets under the Midland
Valley railroad. He put his time money and effort
in to secure bonds with which to build the big east
side sewer storm water system, which, when
complshed, will make valuable many thousand dol
lars worth of lots now a burden to the owners
they pay taxes and the lots not available for
dwelling other purpose.
Mr.. Gregg has been a stanch friend of organized
labor and will go further and do more for this class
of people than the average man. He does this be-
cause his heart is in the right place. His beliefs so
to the point where he looks at the man rather than
at the dollar, he has not the soul of parsmony so
prominent in many people; his liberality is one of
his noted characteristics. What he does he believes
in, and what he believes in he does.
He has no entanglng alliances of any knd-nOt
promise out to any pensioner; he stands absolutely
free to give call men fair, square deal, and his
ord in the future will be as clean as in the past Or
ganized labor can look at him and say to herself he
is the who will give us a fair deal. So can all
other citizens do the same: YOU do not always find
this kind of man running for city offices. there
fore YOU should vote for Carl Gregg, all of you,
