i that the municipal ice project will be a success He suggested that | water department secure figures for the repairs and altera- l tions necessary to place the ice house in a condition fit to properly house an ice crop.
 l '. "On November IT. 1915, MT. Rossberg, chairman of the water l board, informed the common coun- | cil that it would require s1,70O to put the ice house in condition. 4 committee of five members of the l council was appointed by Mayor Quigley to investigate the matter. S17,9OO Spont on the Project "On December 15, 1915, this com mittee reported to the council the | expenditures of s17,90o or the city's | money in the ice business. They l recommended that the city continue to harvest ice and that the board of finance and taxation be request ed to appropriate $6,000, in the budget of 1916 for repairs. This committee also recommended that the board of public works include ir their budget of 1916, s3,O00 for a road from Schultz's Corner to the ice house. The motion was made that the board of water commits sioners appear before the board Of finance and taxation immediately for an appropriation to>make re- jalrs. There was considerable dis cussion concerning the matter in the council, several of the mem- bers feeling that it was useless to spend any more money. When the vote was about to be taken. and it appeared doubtful that it woul1 pass, Mayor Quigley left his char 1 and talked from the floor of the propriation and urged it's adoption. The result was that it was carried and in December 29, 1915, special meeting of the common council was called and a special tax was levied in order to appropriate $t. 100 for the repairing of the ice 1 house.
 50 you sec, there is the record of his own action as mayor, and when I say he plunged us into the ice business, I say the record proves it.
 Record of Potato Business
 "He plunged us into the potato business, too, but he hasn't said anything about that. He raised 3,102 bushels on 43 acres and bought A.
 536 bushels, a total of 7,6SS bush-
 els, and we had to hire man to take them out of cellars, including
 his own, and put them on the
 dumps. For that reason, I say he is
 not only eXtravagant and wasteful
 but inefficient as well. And be care
 full of what he says because he is
 also extravagant in speech.
 "Mr. Quigley insists the water
 question is not an issue in this cam.
 paign. As I told the workers dowr
 at the Corbin plant: Look out for
 your little homes. Let us first pro-
 tect and secure the water rights we
 now have and we will have enough
 for the present. Then let us go or : with whatever negotiations is to bt
 carried on, but be careful who wt have in office Don't let Quigley''
 crowd get control of that wateI
 board. Don't let them get at tho
 sewer contracts, If you do. you'll
 pay and pay right through tht
 pocketbook.
 "Quigley talks of reassessment
 but when he had the opportunity ht
 didn't do it. He says he will reduc,
 taxes, but when he was in office h'
 doubled taxation. and now he come
 to you and says you didn't mind pay ing it then because times were goo'
 and wages were high. Be careful o that sublety. Does he mean that h.
 makes times good, or that I cal
 make them bad?
 During this campaign l will sticl ,, closely to the record and I will mak ! terms in office. And on Friday night :, I will speak at the Senior HigI school auditorium and will hay plenty more to tell of his record an achievements in office"
 Attorney McDonough was intro duced this noon by Mayor Paonesss
 who thanked the L. r. & c. work CTS for the cooperation given hir . and urged the election of McDon ough.
 Quigley Hoarseness Victim : His voice so hoarse that he va barely able to speak above whis s per, former Mayor Quigley was abl ] to talk for about two minutes at l noon day rally at the Stanley Work l but during that time he took a shar ! rap at his democratic opponent, Al
 torney P. F. McDonough when :, said:
 f Don't believe all the things ths 0 McDonough is trying to tell you.' f His voice broke several times dul , ing his talk and with the furthe , handicap of high wind it was wit
 difficulty that he was able 10 delive l his message.
 k He urged the voters 10 come = the polls and vote for him. He apo n ogized because he was not able e speak longer because of tho cond t ton of his throat
