When a man wants to sell
a pair of shoes, he advertises
them himself. So far this has
been the best way to get the
message across. But, like we
said, we agree with you.
Thanks for the letter. May
be someone will take your
suggestion and act accord
ingly.
We are not discussing the
quality of the sheriffing of
our own James Ira Grimsley,
but we'll say one thing. We
have the wittiest sheriff in
these here parts.
Wasn't long ago that he
remarked. ! wouldn't care

Now he's a kissin' sheriff.
He told us the other day,

Now this was The law
when I ran for the office of
public works commissioner
and this was the law when /
took my oath of office on
July 3. 1861.
Certainly no competent
businessman, whether he be a
public official or otherwise,
can perform his duties unless
he has the authority to hire
and fire his employees.
under the new ordinance
as passed, the other two mem
bers of the city government

Charlton said that the new
ordinance establishes a city
manager form of government
contrary to the laws under
which the present officials
were elected.

II will also propose in the
future that a complete and in
dependent audit be had. re-

ton of this city"
Charlton further said that
I'VE were advised in August
that the city was bankrupt
approximately 80 days
after I had taken my oath Of
office"
"At the meeting of Nov. z,
1861" he added, "it became
clear that the city was in a
bad financial condition and
bankrupt in November Of 1860.
"But this information was
carefully withheld from tn e
general public until the month
of August, 1861, after all cleo
tions were over.
''Now the purpose of my
new ordinance is simply to
advise the public that the de-
partment of public works
which | supervise, is not the
only department that has eX-
ceeded its budget.
THE purpose of my ordi-
nance is to see that all three
departments live within their
respective budgets.
"I am now propos In G
changes in my department

but will also save the city sub

Just read a copy of your
last weeks edition and noted
with interest what some of
your readers had to say
about deficit spending down
at City Hall.
The way / see it the city
of Pascagoula has always
spent more than they take in
nothing wrong with deficit
spending. Our government
believes in that kind of
spending. The only differ
ence is our city officials
doesn't give il away.
If and when we elect city
officials who doesn't believe
in deficit spending chances
are he would be impeached.
So why should a few die
hard critics cry for the scalp
of Alvin Charlton. He is only
doing his duty and that is
deficit spending.
| can say some good things
about Alvin. We had conf
dence in him when we elect
ed him and we didn't elect
overseers to look after him
to find out who he hired
and fired. If the critics will
let him run the job to suit
himself he will continue to
give you one hundred cents
on the dollar and he won't
bankrupt the city.
The way ! see il we should
call a special election and
choose a crowd of overseers
to run the city and let the
elected officials do their
bidding because some die
hard losers doesn't think
they are eligable TO hold
public office.
We have three good men
in office at City Hall. Let's
consider the moat in our
own eyes and let them run
the city like it should be run.
Remember, knockers don't
win and winners don't knock.
