CITIZENS TICKET Believing it only fair to the public, whose support we are asking in the coming city election, that state the principles and policies that will govern actions, if elected we hereby declare:
 We will favor the levy of sufficient tax, properly to carry on the city government and to pay for inn provements streets and other public utilities, so vitally needed.
 We pledge ourselves to develop and maintain a permanent policy regarding improvements on streets and sewers
 It being one of the first duties of any government to maintain good and sufficient schools we will at all times give the School Board any assistance in power, and will do all things possible to improve the present standing of our schools.
 We realize that the fishing industry is the main- stay of this city. We regret that more has not been done within the last two years to encourage it. We pledge ourselves to leave nothing undone that might add to it's growth We will endeavor to attract suf ficient capital to build and operate adequate cold storage plant that would be suitable to care for all fish coming to this port. We realize that the float facilities totally inadequate to meet present dtions and we pledge ourselves to extend them to the extent of our means. We will run the city dock on strictly business basis we will carry sufficient quantity of coal at all times and sell it at the lowest possible price. 6 All city ordinances should be enforced Those not enforced should be repealed We pledge our selves to this policy. The ordinance prohibiting minors from frequenting pool rooms will be en- forced.
 We appreciate that the city Fire Department and the Public Library have been operated in an efficient manner, and pledge ourselves to man- tain and develop them. We realize the deporable condition of the prop erty abutting Gold Creek, and pledge ourselves to do all Tn power to assist in remedyng it. by soliciting municipal territorial and federal aid, and pending such assistance, we promise to make all contingent repairs necessary to make this section habitabe.
 The slides which have endangered the property along Gastineau Avenue were caused by the creeks and gullies along the hillside being clogged with logs and other debris. We will endeavor to locate the responsible parties and insist on those conditions being remeded by them. We certainly do not hold in contempt the cry for harmony, TOT we realize that the growth Of Ju- neau has been retarded on account of the lack of harmony in municipal affairs. Bull in the China shop" never accomplished anything but de- struction, while harmonious body can work won- ders in municipal improvement. We strenuously deny the slanderous charge that We are in league with prominent steamboat and wharf official with a view of expressing the city wharf As stated in Article 5 of this platform, we intend to the city wharf in businesslike man. ner. The present mayor only few months ago. attempted to betray the city by leasing the city dock to private corporation.
 We earnestly solicit your support and considera- tion by asking you to vote the straight "Citzens Ticket on Tuesday, April lst, 1919.
