OUR NEW CITY GOVERNMENT

Bernie G. Papy. representative of Mon
roe county, gave an outline in yesterdays
Citizen of what he had accomplished in
this session of the legislature in putting
the affairs of the city ''into the hands Of
the people,
And everything Mr.. Papy said is true.
The people will. have q clean and genuine
qualified list; made possible through regis
tration, and they will have the assurance
that every ballot they cast will determine
the final count eand not be offset, as too
frequently has been the case, by ballots
fraudulently cast.
We still have fresh in mind all Of the
shameful comment that resulted after the
last city election, regarding the allegations
of the wholesale stuffing of ballot boxes in
two precincts. AS result of those fraudu-
lent ballots honest votes were overcome,
and ii is almost certain to say that the will
OF the people in at least some instances was
not carried out.
But Mr.. Papy has put an end too to
the stuffing of ballot boxes, because there
viii not be any to stuff. Voting henceforth
in the city will be by machines, and those
machines, in the custody of Supervisor John
England and Franklin Archer, mechan-
IieaI, 1technician, will record votes only as

County Commissioners.
I thought that the City Coun-
Gil pulled the biggest boners, but
without doubt think this last
affair in the county takes the
honors. Before / 60 on lets PIN
on two stars. One for Frank and
the other for Clarence. AT least
we have two men who have the
CUTS to beef when something
is out of line. Frank ended his
statement thusly, Il wonder what
the people of the County think
of u.s." We think very well OF
you, Frank, but the others-well
Mr.. Parrish pulled boner
when he refused the resignation
of MIR. Gomez, when MIR Gomez
blh1tiy refused to make any cor
Dreetions in the matter. AS for Mr..

janitoEsl must ghaye a lot of pull.
If they are not going to do any
work, they might just as well
be fired. l did not know the WPA
still existed, if not, then we have
a sequel which we are being
taxed for. And in closing, boys,
I might add: If you can't keep
your own house clean, you make

people who let you move in.
