GEORGE TICKET
 TO ELIMINATE
 MAYOR SALARY
Proposes Combining Work of Street Commissioner
 and City Engineer

Outlining its platform, the Busi- ness Economy Administration ticket, headed by Councilman Wallis $. George for Mayor, today declared for elimination of the Mayors sal ary and the combining of the of- fices of City Engineer and Street Commissioner if found practical. On the ticket with MT. George, seeking Councilmanic seats, are Frank McCafferty, C. O. Sabin and R. J. Sommers.
 We believe in the employment of a competent private citizen as Street Commissioner, who can per form his duties without political favor, and who will be directly responsible to the Mayor and City Council said a statement from the candidates. Tt is considered de- sirable to combine the office of Street Commissioner and City En- gineer, which if found practical will result in further saving"
 Efforts will be made to re-finance the present bonded indebtedness at a lower rate of interest, the state ment said, and pledge is made to publish a financial statement quar- terly.
 The proposed library is favored by the ticket, subject to ratifica- ton of the taxpayers and financed by Federal aid. Adequate police protection is urged and full CO., operation with Federal authorities for the suppression of crime is promised A small boat harbor is favored and the ticket pledges it. self to strict economy in all mat ters of city business.
