MIR. Fixit spends most of every
day at city hall. He's a welcome
visitor there, because he is as help
full to city officials as to citizens.
He receives complaints from Times
readers about municipal service
and requests for aid in getting i'm.
provements, like street lights, side
walks or sewers. He takes these
to the proper city officials, finds
out what can ne done ABOUT them
and tells the citizens about it in his
column. Then he follows through
If the improvements are not made
he checks up and makes another
request for action.
City department heads usually
are eager TO satisfy citizens so they
welcome Mr.. Fixit. because he lets
them know what is wrong.
All you have to do to enlist the
aid of Mr.. Fixit upon any
municipal matter is write him a
letter i'm care of The Times. Then
you watch his column for the
answer.
