ROTARIANS HEAR
SPLENDID TALK
BY CHICAGO MAN

| Rotarians of this city are unani-
nous in claiming the talk given yes
terday by Charles Newton of Chi
cago one of the most interesting G
ever given before the local club.
Newton, who is a member of the
Chicago Rotary club, was associat-
ed with the original founders of
Rotary and in his talk yesterday re-
viewed its early days prior to 1910.
In addition to recounting early
events, when the club met in the
business places of its various mem
bers, sometimes on bales of hay and
again on dry goods counters or coal
yards, Newton showed old time pro-
grams, rosters, bylaws and various
printed matter connected with the
early history of Rotary, some of
which are the only existing relics
of the early days.
He explained the reasons for Ro.
tary's organization by handful of
men, and outlined the principles
under which it functioned, which
have changed but little with the
passage of % years. One financial
report which he read showed bal
ance of slightly over a dollar in
favor of the club, statement which
caused the local Rotarians to
chuckle.
Following his talk Newton
showed reel of motion pictures
depicting the early days of Rotary
and including photographs of men
who were instrumental in founding
the organization which is now al |
most worldwide.
Warren Currier was chairman of
the dav and presented Newton to ;
+bn club

John I. Rice

Two main motives prompt
ed me to accept the invita-
tion of my friends to submit
my name as a candidate for
election to the city council
on April Ia.
C1e is the desire to see the
organization of the city engi-
neer's department as we'll rs
that of the police depart
ment maintained.
The other is the thought
that I may offer what exper-
icnce and training 1 have in
construction and engineering
lines to the city.
There can be no doubt but
that we are going to build
rapidly during the next few
years. In fact the building
figures of the past three
months are greater than they
have ever been. If l can serve
the community in working
with the other council men,
bers and the heads of the de-
partments concerned in the
planning and extending OF
the city's paving projects,
water system, sewage system
and zoning program, then |
feel that my election to the
council will be justified.
Those of us who own prop
erty here, or who hope to
own property, as well as
those who are renters and
who live here because they
like the town, know that the
city government has before
Il a great many important
problems in building for the
future.
We certainly have need
for economy in our plans as
we'll as Judgment in providing per-
manent and adequate facilities for
a city that will, before we know it
have 10000 residents.
In the event that the voters de-
eide to place me on the. council 1 o
can promise without reservation the:
same faithful attention to the duties
of the office that gave during
former term.
/ have not the slightest desire to
urge or to take part in any political
combinations, particularly in the
face of the constructive program
that must take precedence over such
minor considerations. My one aim
will be the continued improvement
of the city government in all de-
partments.
Every voter who casts ballot in
the coming election may be sure
that l am as anxious as anyone to
keep the city government intact
and to preserve the present depart
mental organizations just as long
as it is possible to serve the best
interests of all of us by so doing.
1 cannot believe that this is the
time to disrupt the efficiency of the
municipal government by attempt
ing to tear down any department
that is handled properly.
The people generally, / am con
WINGED, are keenly appreciative of
the orderly manner and effective
manner in which the city govern
ment is being maintained.

HerbertW. W.FaWcett

My chief interest in the
coming election, from the
standpoint of one of the can
didates for councilman, is
the interest of any resident
of Ell Centro who has taken
some small part in directing
the operations of the city
government.
l have been chiefly con-
cerned with the department
of streets and parks. In the
four years of my term on the
council | have been able to
take active part in organiz-
ing an efficient and, am
certain, one of the most econ
omical systems of street
maintenance and improve
ment.
In 1926, when l assumed
office, we depended upon
four or five men with hand
brooms to keep the streets
clean. They managed to COW
er part of Main street in the
business district every day,
and, on rare occasions to at
tempt to clean some of the
other streets.
During that fiscal year
(1926-27) we persuaded the
council to authorize the pur-
chase of a motor driven
street sweeper with the re-
suit that we not only reduced
the cost of maintaining the
street department something
like $4,000 as compared to
the preceding year, but we
were able to inaugurate a
systematic street cleaning
program in which the sweeper COW
cred all of the business district each
night and large number of the
heavily travelled residence streets
twice each week. That system is
now in full operation. Since then
we have added motor driven grad
er and dump truck to our mechan-
ical equipment in the department
with the result that the street de.
partment is rendering a really high
coli hro cnrUicn n tho of
an annual cost actually less than
had hitherto been possible.
L have this further interest in the
streets and parks department that
! hope to see the work we have
started carried to even greater eff
ficiency. We have, in the time I'vc
been on the council managed to ere
ate serviceable and very greatly
needed park for the east side of the
city. We have established and
equipped recreational grounds for
residents there including a wading
pool for children, a picnic shed and
we are right now planting lawns as
further step in improving that
park.
There are some very interesting
proDlehiS IN the planning or city
parks that will meet the needs of
Ell Centre generally as it continues
to grow. We have just begun the
work of development along that
line. 1 should like very much to
see the job continued until Ell Cen
tro has a satisfactory and well
planned system of parks.
| am sure that the voters of this
city have confidence in the depart
ments of the city government and
that they will show that confidence
at the polls two weeks from next
Monday

The Republican last Thursday had
two options-to go to press at the
usual time of 2 o'clock, and give peo-
pie a general and hazy account of the
election; or to withhold publication
for three hours and include in the COL
umns the official returns and exact
figures for each precinct, for each
candidate. 1t chose the latter, feeling
that the people of the county wanted
report upon which they could rely,
and that they wanted it before this
week.
The Board of Supervisors of Elec-
tons of Garrett county organized for
the purpose of officially counting the
ballots at IL o'clock Thursday and be-
gan the tabulation at 1 O'Clock. The
last official figure was not recorded
until $3.50. The Republican was on
press 20 minutes later and Charles
F. White, clerk to the election board,
on his way home a few minutes after
he had completed the tabulations, was
