His personal integrity unassail-
able. his warm sympathy and un-
derstanding OF tax problems known
throughout the city by all classes
OF taxpayers, his office methods the

voters of the City this Fall for re-
election as City Treasurer, Prim-

MIR. Williams has held the Office
five years and for eleven years
before that was deputy treasurer.
His tenure of Office has witnessed
the installation of the most ad-
vanced type OF equipment. the new
unit tax ledger system being the
latest step taken, until now this
Office is without peer in govern
mental ranks anywhere in the
United States.
The Transaction of 100000. 900
worth of city business annually
involves the most highly techinal
kind of accounting problems. but
never a word of criticism has been
raised against this office. Rather.
it has eagerly sought and accepted.

lams. the suggestion and active
help of official of many great De-
troit corporations.
1t is worthy of note that the inn
mense task of issuing and retiring
$1S.000.000 worth of city scrip
was carried out by Mr. Williams in
five months time at such a low
overhead cost, yet with 100 per
cent accuracy as certified by the
audit of City Controller William J.
Curran, that the whole cost Of
printing, issuing and cancelling
this huge sum OF scrip was less
than the interest would have been
II the city had borrowed the same
for five months.
No small home owner will ever
have the tax laws exercised against
him. Mr.. Williams has pledged. II
he is honestly unable to pay his
bill. At the same time. all tax
payers. big and small. have been
given full opportunity to cooperate
with the City by making monthly
on their delinquent taxes.
These are fixed to correspond with
the citizens present ability to pay.
Only when careful investigation
shows that a taxpayer can, but
will not pay. even in part. does
leniency end. Regardless of many
bitter and often illfoundcd
charges TO the contrary, Mr.. VIII
liams will continue this policy OF
fairness to all. banishing discrim-
nation in any form whatsoever.

Repeatedly, he branded "prejn-
