Gibbons Addresses Citizens

1t is not because anyone has
asked me to be a candidate for
Mayor but on account of the nn-
usual condition OF the city's affairs
that am volunteering my service
in adjusting them forthe benefit Of
all the people including myself as
a tax payer and thatal submit my
name as candidate ior May or at
the ensuing city election.
These affairs are such, as had
called attention to in the columns
OF the Daily News, that i not
Mayor that is needed but a Man
ager. Ard. ii as a Manager or
Superintendent who goes into a
factory and puts the machinery in
running order and administers it
to the best OF his ability, 50 as to
meet the approval OF its owners, |
could in like manner handle your
affairs without going through the
ordeal OF city election, it would
be more TO my liking to direct
them.
therefore ask on account OF the
hard job that is ahead that you
make it easy for me to approach
it. You can best do this by your
attitude in showing that you will
expect and appreciate strictly
business administration, by CO.
operating with me through your
Aldermen in your respective wards
and by excusipg me from going
, through canvas or such strenuous
electioneering as have distinguished
some city elections.
disclaim any itch or pain to be
Mayor 1t was only on discover
ing the chaotic state OF the City 5
finances that sense of duty leads
me to make the personal sacrifice
which | make in the neglect of my
business to lead the City Council
in getting in hand state OF affairs
which have got beyondi it.
With this object solely in view
| submit my name as a candidate
for Mayor to the voters at the next
city election.

TO THE VOTERS

Your attention has been called
to the ely affairs - years ago ]
will go back one year more and
start at K years ago Fifteen
years ago the city owed bonded
indebtedness oi to- 600; il also
owed the same amount ~ years a.
90. AT that time the water and
light plant Of the city was worth
SOC. 900 Since that time there
has been a deep well dug. three
new boilers Installed. new pumps
air eompressors. two new engines
and generator installed and exten-
sions made IN the water mains and
light extensions The plant was
inyoiced two years ago by repre-
sentatives oi the General Electric
Co, Westinghouse Electric Mig.
Co and Kerr Tufbin Co, and
was valued by them at $i7s 600.
You can see by the above figures
that plant IS worth SITS 900 more
Than II was Ii years ago There
has been paid on the bonded in
debetedness oi the city. since 1907
to the present time. the sum OF
$40. 900. The entire debt of the
city at present is SSo.77s This
includes everything that the city
owes. so you can see that the city
only owes $IS,775 more than il
did II years ago, and has paid of
bonds to the amount OF $40 600
and has a water and light plant
worth Sis 900 more than il was
IA years ago. The only reason
that ! consented to become cam
didate is that am sure that can
start the city on the road OF get
ting out OF debt and not motgage
the plant to do il. II can't re-
duce the indebtedness 81, 600 the
first year. ! will resign and pay for
the election Of new mayor out q
