MAYOR BROWN
IT am not an orator.
ANY public utility will tell you frank
ly that I am the toughest mayor they
ever went up against"
1T wasn't the 8 cent fare the peorle
kicked about, but the bum service. They
are willing to pay cents il they get
the service"
Mr.. Simon cannot reduce the street
car fare to cents. without reducing
the wages OF the street car men"
DO you know that Mr.. Simon still
sells his cigars for the same price he
charged two years ago7 Why don't he
reduce the price of his cigars while he
talking about reducing rates."
Simon is going to clean the sewers
That will be an easy job. There's a
lot OF them laying on top of the ground
on the north side where Pete Lyons put
them"
He's going to open up Carroll street
across the Erie yards. How'd you like
to have your children cross over 50
tracks,"
They've got Sam skufakiss chair
man OF their moral committee 1t takes
a thief to catch a thief. Why, that bird
has been pinched so often they haven't
got paper enough at the station"

where the waterworks are located"

They (the democrats) can hop from
one issue to another better than any
chip monk I ever saw"
Simon pays taxes on a valuation of
s23.450 which he says is the value of
hi scigar factory. Do you suppose he
would take that for his plant?"
7 don't want to intrust Simon with
this waterworks because I'm afraid he'd
be pumping the water back into the
lake"
"Tinkhan is atty for a stone com
pany that sells stone to the county, but
not TO the city and he is the attorney
for a contractor in the same fix"
You give them a chance at the water |
works project and they'll wreck it,"
L have an abiding conviction that |
there is an iusidfous attempt of an |
element whose interests are opposed TO |
those OF this city to get a foothold" |
IF we could be rid of such fellows |
as Sam Skufakiss and one other I can |
name, II would be pretty good city |
