The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1919-10-23
TO THE VOTERS
OFLOGAN CITY

AS we have become candidates for the offices OF
Mayor and Commissioner, respectively we deem it pro-
per at this time to make statement of the principles to
which we shall adhere in the administration of city a.
fairs, If elected.
We entered this campaign in conformity with the
spirit OF the law governing municipal elections as ct
zens OF Logan dependent of any party, clique or COM
bnatlon and with the sole thought of helping in the i'm
pr0Vemcn beerment and progress of the city which is
our nome and our pride and in whose upbulding and
advancement we are glad to have taken part We are
Tor bigger and better Logan and stand ready to Join
hands with all good citizens to promote the welfare of
Logan and its people.
We desire to see the city maintain progressive pace
but believe that in making improvements the peoples
purse should be considered and that the benefits from
such improvements should be fairly distributed and not
be confined to certain sections of the city, We of the
opinion that the ouayng portions of the municipality
Gnoud receive more attention than they have had in
.ecent years.
We favor economy in the conduct of city affairs and
believe the city tax rate should be substantially reduced
We are opposed to the policy of increasing the city tax
levy to inject rising expenses of our government beev-
ing that the natural increase of wealth consequent upon
larger growth should take of these additional eX
penses
We for the city electric light plant for its main
tenance permanent institution of the city, and are
most emphacaly opposed to policy of slow destruc
hon evidently desired by interests in this city, We
Go not believe that it should be allowed down in
efficiency and thus discourage the people who have so
Loyalty supported it. If elected shall endeavor in
the citys electrical facilities and to protect them
In every way possible
We, like all other good citizens are proud of Logans
water supply, but believe it inadequate for place
with the growth that Logan showing and in favor
of immediate effo.s Locking to the enlargement and
better regulation OF water service 1t is up Logan
to secure more water and now is the time to obtain it
even though oer projected improvements have to
be postponed.
We in favor of fair honest impartial enforcement
of the law, of giving square deal to everyone and be-
heve that fitness for the position should determine ev-
cry appointment made.
We entered this campaign as non-partsans and ma
turay assumed that should stand common ground
with all other candidates flying non-partisan colors
that each man would appear before the people his
merits ad that extensive organization would be neces
sary but the position taken in their public announcement
by the gentlemen named by select committee of three
men, has compelled to rally friends and to organ
ze that principles may be made plain To that end
a Citizens committee has been formed and will take
charge of our campaign in the future.
We hope to be able, through this committee to pre-
set to the people some facts and figures which be-
leve will interest in civic affairs and thus
promote the public good Respectfully
B. G. THATCHER.
