EvADES WATER QUESTION
The Reppa platform is evasive on
the water question. During the pri-
mary last spring Mr.. Reppa made the
statement that he was in favor Of pur-
chasing the water works IL il could be
purchased. They have now hedged on
that attitude and say they are willing
TO leave it to a vote. At the same time
they are making the statement through /
out the civ that the waterWorks can
not be purchased.
Reference is made in their platform |
to letter sent broadcast by Mr. Rep
pa preceding the May primary and da-
tad April %, 1921. In that letter Mr. |
Fep2a promises lower taxes; to stop |
waste of tax payers money and the ap-
plicatiea Of business principles to city !
government Why IN the name of |
Heaven when - had had the opportun-
stF TO do 81 IS past did he not |
do itf Tho Fetrern states that they. |
the Reppa arss compliment the Citi- |
zens part. aaving copied after so |
many of roposed policies. The |
platform ~ 10 Citizens ticket this |
year is Ia along the lines and the |
same as - citizens party platform Of |
1913 - ~a3oh Frank Callahan and the |
