Many towns have constructed
WaterWorkS and sewers. Three
brlugeS leading from the 18th
District over the Ohio River
have been freed of tolls. Every
public improvement has maze
our district more attractive to
those concerns seeking sites for
new industry. During the past
% years l have worked with
hundreds of public officials in
every part Of my district -
township trustees, county COM
misSionerS, mayors of towns and
cities, members OF councils and
members of Boards of Education.
! want to take this opportunity
to say that over the years we
have been blessed with earnest,
sincere local officials who have
worked long hours to bring an
endless list of public improve
ments in nearly every town, city
and township. WaterWorks, sew
erS, paved streets, roads, bridges,
improved sidewalks, municipal
buildings, schools, swimming
pools, athletic fields stand as
monuments to men who gave
their time and spent their own
money in the service of the
people who trusted them with
leadership. Many of these men
are gone, including Mariettas
own George White who alone
ordered, while Governor, the
building of the fine highway
from Marietta to GAINESVILLE. In
our district he placed many miles
of county roads on the State
highway system. No praise can
be too loud in honor of all those
who have devoted their efforts
to the building of a better dis
trict. I wish time would permit
| me to name, and give personal
tribute to, the hundreds of Of
ficials that l remember and res
| pect."
Veterans - In the 18th Dis
trict there are 81 veterans posts
each of which has an active aux
iliary. These groups engage in
continuous community service
and have been responsible for
countless improvements in the
district, among which is the fine
new building at the Children's S
Home in Marietta. In the build
ing of a better district our vet
erans will be a powerful force.
Many of the posts have conStruc-
ted new buildings. Other have
bought and improved existing
buildings. All are a credit to the
community in which they are
located.
