ALLS, OREGON
tics and more disssresmsnt about %.
lice and IRE department matters, don't
vote for me. will not take the time
to stir up continual rows should I b.
elected mayor Of this city. II I am
elected mayor. propose. to the best
Of my ability, to follow out the follow.
ing program:
will see that all laws are strictly
enforced. with equality to all.
Police
To secure eflcient and courteous po-
licemen to patrol the city and enforce
the ordinances. I believe that Klam-
ath Falls is law.abiding community
and favor the appointment Of only
as many men as absolutely necessary
TO patrol the business district Of the
city and to enforce the sanitary apd
other ordinances. These men should
have the cleanest possible record:
should be kind and considerate, es.
pecially to children, and should not
wear any uniforms.
| Sanitation
| / shall demand that the police de.
partment shall enforce the sanitary
laws Of the city. Livery stables and
private families that keep cows or
horses within the city limits will be
required to live up to the letter and
spirit Of the law requiring the habita-
ton Of such animals to be kept i'm.
maculately clean so that the health Of
our children will not 10 endangered.
Free Delivery
II elected, I will cooperate with the
focal postofiice officials and use my
best efforts In securing free delivery
Of the mails for our city.
Streets
l believe that the present method Of
sweeping Main street is Anticipated
and out Of date. I have seen clouds
Of dust thrown into the stores Of the
merchants along Main streets by the
old White Wings" that sweeps that
street. favor the immediate In
auguration Of proper and modern
method Of cleaning the paved street
favor the sprinkling and caring fol
Of the dirt streets IN town, especially
those streets that lead to outlying
portions.
shippInigton Road
A road is badly needed to connect
the main portion Of the city with the
Shippinigton district. where is distrib
uted at least 80 per cent Of the pay
roll Of this city. Several ideas have
been broached for the construction
of that road. A measure Is now on
the ballot to bond the whole city FOL
the construction of the road. THIS
MATTER IS sQUARELY UP TO THH
TAXPAYERS THEMSELVES, AS II
OUGHT TO BE. II it carries. pledge
myself to see that the money is ex
pended in the best possible way fol
klamath Falls and that the road ID
built at once. II the measure fails
II believe that, the city should repair
and keep in good condition the present
road leading to Shippinigton. a. they
carry more travel than any OF the un
paved streets Of the city.
Parks. Fairgrounds and Cemetery
flavor the development Of the city'a
|park property into beauty spots and
public Fairgrounds for the children
This can be begun with little expense
and DEVELOPED as the city has the
funds. The city should find some
means Of taking over the cemetery
and putting 1t in proper condition. II
should be made beauty spot instead
of allowing 1t to remain open to stray
cattle and horses.
| The Fire Department
I believe that klamath Falls is toc
small city to afford a paid hre de-
partment large enough to be Of any
material use when hre breaks out
Volunteer hremen have rendered vail
ant and efficient service here for many
years and their efforts should be ap
preciated. Cities many times largel
than klamath Falls have only volun
|teer fire departments. The city should
furnish up-to-date apparatus for thu
luse Of the hremen. This apparatui
should be cared for by paid employs
|of the city and always under contro
Of the city. 4 favor the passage ol
AN ordinance that would recognise {
