lows.
To the Voters of ~Pascagoula:
Four years ago you elected me
to the mayors office, for which
am grateful. Since it has been
a Democratic custom to give a
man a second term when he
served we'll. | respectfully submit
that | am entitled to your con
sideration.
As your mayor during the past
three and one-half years. | have
had many difficult problems due
to the tremendous increase in
population. Due to the val and
shipbuilding expansion. the popu.
lation of Paseagoula has increased
from $3.50 to approximately 49,
900. The population has expand
ed more than five times, but the
city revenues has not expanded in
proportion.
Even with this condition We
have made progress and at the
same time have not increased the
millage for maintenance, The
mills for bond retirement will be
materially reduced this year. The
city debt has been greatly re-
dueed during this period and the
city is now III excellent financial
condition.
Some of the major improve
ments during my term as mayor
are as follows:
Installed new gas system. inn
proved water works. increased
disposal Of garbage; expanded po-
lice and fire departments. built
several new schools. provided re-
ereational facilities: established
city library; hard-surfaeed and
black topped several city streets;
secured access roads from High
way 90 over Market street and
Lincoln avenue, and many other
improvements too numerous to
mention
We have started one of the
most complete reereational pro-
grams IN the south. which will be
IN full operation soon.
We are in process of building
another concrete access road and
sidewalks on Frederic. Dupont
