MAYOR RICHARDS
GIVES HIS VIEWS
Urges That No Changes Be
Made in Corporation
of RivesvilIe.

RIVESVILLE, June Son the
eve of the town election at Rives-
vile tomorrow, when vote will
be cast on the question of reduc-
ing corporate limits, Mayor ]. w.
Richards, who is also pastor of the
M. P. Church, issued the following
statement to the citizens of the
community:
Let it be remembered by the
Christian people Of Rivesville, and
the law abiding citizens that it
will not do for us, as people, to
throw Greentown and also High
lawn out of the corporation and let
them go back as they were. We
must consider, as a people, the
time when they once were out,
when they would sit on the streets
and shoot their dice and play polk
er, and make insulting remarks as
women passed along, with your
mothers, sisters and awives going
by and hearing and seeing such
Thugs as once went on. We, as a
corporation, are living according
to town ordinance and are prohibit
ting such things Such being the
case, should we want to go back
to the time when Sunday baseball
playing would be allowed in our
community?
st has been told to me by our
good citizens that the folk in
Greentown have in view a place
for a ball diamond to play their
Sunday games.
Would you want the stores of
this section to be thrown open on
Sunday, such as is the case in
some other sections OF the county.
Also to have Sunday movies,
which they are planning to do
when this corporation goes out?
Let US stay together and hold our
town intact and make it one of the
best little cities along the Mon
orgahela River. Why should we
not do this when we are an older
town than Chicago and when we
are in better position financially
than ever before? We are about to
make many improvements in the
city within a short time.
The people in Highlawn should
remember that they are now build
ing a new church and getting to
the point where they should be
more law-abiding citizens and want
better protection Remember that
we, as a people, according to the
word of God, are weighed in the
balance and found wanting-found
wanting a better community, bet
ter laws and also better American
.citizenS 5ly9
