The commissioners statement
dealt entirely with an analysis OF
the county's bonded Indebtedness
while both Mr.. Diamond and Mr..
Hancock express heated resent
ment of the inference that defal-
cations exist in the county's finan-
cial departments. Mr.. Diamond
said II have refrained from COM
menting on what the proposed
charter does either to the office
of County Treasurer or to me as
the duly elected incumbent. How
ever, / do not intend to stand
idly by when untrue statements
are made about the financial ad-
ministration of this county with
out telling the people the truth.
Mr.. John F. Willmott, research
head Of the Charter Committee, is
quoted as saying: "In Arlington
County, the first County Ma. l.
ger uncovered defalcations of
$4,000, which had gone on for
years under the old form of gov
eminent. Within a year and a
half, the County's deficit had
been changed to a SURPLUS
"This is obviously an inference
by Mr.. Willmott that defalca-
tons exist here in Montgomery
County which a county manager,
appointed under the en-. 6ter,
would uncover. From my six
years service as County Treas
urer am sure that the public
funds of this county are intact.
All county officials and employees
handling public funds are covered
by surety bond.

FOR

Those who are fighting the
Charter came out last week with
an utterly absurd set of figures on
the cost of running the County
when the Charter is adopted.
READ THE CHARTER and you
catch them in the tangled web
they weave to deceive Montgomery
County voters. Either they can
not read or they are trying DELHI
erately to misinform the voting
public.
They said that when the form Of
government provided by the Char
ter is adopted that pressure and
spending groups move in and take
Charge with an increase in public
spending. The contrary is true.
Obviously they don't get around.
They don't know what they are
talking about.
The best way to expose false
hood is to tell the truth. Here
are the facts:
Where the council manager sys-
tenn has been established IA
nearly 900 cities, towns, counties :
it has been found that pressure
groups lose their influence and
that economy is gained. The gains
are sensational in some places
Take Cincinnati for instance
Under the council-manager plan a
million and a half dollars was
saved in two years. In Dallas,
Texas, three-quarters of millioa
was saved in few months. A
county of great interest to, us is

similar to ours. Insurance costs

AGAINST

Statement issued By Albert
E. BrGult, Secretary Treas
urer of the Citizens Com
mittee to Defeat Charter.
On what meat nave these Caes-
ars of the Charter movement been
feeding that they should attack in
the press the writing of general
or form letters to voters on the
subject of the Charter that is now
pending before the voters?
When the Citizens Committee to
Defeat Charter wrote letter on
the subject of Charter to those of
the 1000 service men and women
Charter supporters jumped on ev-
erybody connected with the Citi-
zens Committee. This means that
the Charterites objected to the
service men and women hearing
about the Charter.
Can you beat that for political
arrogance and high-handed boss or
machine tactics We have never
heard of anybody in Montgomery
County before objecting to a gen
eral or form letter being address
ed to voters on any issue upon
which they were being asked to
vote.
The results of this letter to the
servicemen have been that the
Committee to Defeat Charter have
received answers 8 to / against the
Charter. 90's of the service men
and women who answered have
written that they were strongly
opposed to the Charter. This let
ter has been printed in full and
generally circulated in Montgom-
cry County and no attempt to re-
flute the contents of the letter has
yet been made by the prof. Charter
people.
Then again last Sunday, an offic-
ial release from the Charter Com
mittee attacked a letter opposing
the Charter that 7 colored resi-
dents Of the County, including 3
colored ministers, have sent to thu
colored voters of the County, by
stating that this letter raised the
racial issue in most distasteful
form" Actually the letter raises
the minority rather than the rae
ial issue. The letter discusses I'm
detail with their own people what
these men believe the effect of the
Charter will be on the minority
groups of County voters.
