| The American last week sent a
letter to many business and profess
sional men of Ellsworth asking them
to answer briefly the question, What
| is your best wish for Ellsworth in
1923?" The replies are printed be-
low. All who replied, show lively
interest in the welfare of Ellsworth.
| All who received the question did not
reply, either from lack of this inter-
est, or because they wished so many
things for Ellsworth that they could
not express it in the allotted space.
| In replying to your questionnaire
as to my best wish for Ellsworth in
| 1928 if / could express myself as free
| ly as | would like | am very much
afraid some of your readers would
| misconstrue my meaning and think
am looking for reelection. However,
| would like to see the same spirit OF
| co operation, the same whole-hearted
| support of so many of our citizens,
given some combination or independ-
| ent board of government for 1923 that
| has been given the city government
| the past two years. In so doing, L
| believe the best results would obtain
| in carrying to completion street work
| already started and in erecting for
occupancy and paying in full for Il
| new high school building. With these
two important problems taken care
| Of it will give our people opportunity
to consider many needs we are facing
| ti,ya 70 in
dustrial as well as to summer invest
| orS.
George S. Foster.
| In answer to your request for my
| best wish for Ellsworth for 1928,
| fully realize that wishes are very nice
| to listen to, but are not productive
| of results. The wish that l will make,
| if given serious consideration. would
| be of material value to our communi-
| tv. and form a closer relationship of
our citizens Here it is:
| Realizing that the greatest obsta-
| cles to progress are those most to be
benefited. / wish that the business
men of Ellsworth, and those interest
| ed in it's welfare, would cooperate
and work together in all business ana
| public affairs, that we may have
| larger and buster Ellsworth.

Nav this coming year bring a new
light and a new spirit into this COM

Music in our schools; reduction of
our tax rate to encourage enterprises
Improvement of our country roads to
help the farmers to deliver their
products.
Dr. A. C. Hagerthy.
An industrial boom that would put
Ellsworth on the map as the busiest
town in eastern Maine. The high
school building fund completed by di-
rect taxation, and the new building
erected during the year. A moral and
spiritual uplft that would safeguard
our young people, fill our churches,
and give a larger appreciation of the
finer and better things of life.
Rev. Clarence Emery.
That Ellsworth would pay $4,000
on it's city debt; and have our city
live within our financial means. Don't
have a nice parlor, and then be obliged
to sleep in the wood -sled-Maln
street.
H, Fremont Maddocks.
That everybody might be given
chance to see, in all seasons. the ever
changing landscapes, the, beautiful
sunrises and sunsets; feel the bracing
air and enjoy the wonderful woods,
bountiful lakes and pretty river OF
Ellsworth Maine. is the best wish of

New Years resolution:
Humbly acknowledging Gods mer-
cies extended to us as a city. let us
unitedly resolve first of all to seek
| His will in all its affairs, that in our
homes, business, government, schools
and churches there may be realized
in 1928, as never before, the blessings
thereby vouchsafed unto His people.

munity spirit--a spirit of cooperation
regardless of politics or creed-ls my
i best wish for Ellsworth in 1928
Martin L. Adams
My best wish for Ellsworth in 1928
is that her citizens may work together
for the good of the municipality, put
ting aside all considerations of party
or politics. and that the All-Ruling
Power will keep us safe from the
ravages of fire. flood and pestilence.
With these things assured us for the
coming year, we need have no fears
for the outcome.
