We feel that we have a competent man at the cemetery, courteous and obliging to the people.

An independent audit is made every two years by com You ' Unconscious You Have Lost Your Eyesight make these improvements any faster than we have funds with which to do the work. How do the conditions of the streets today compare with their condition six years ago? I recall five years ago last spring, a man from Idaho traveling east on Fourth North got stuck on that street and asked the city to furnish a team to pull him out, which was done. What condition Is Folirth North street in today as compared with that time? It will be recalled that after the car track was removed, the lily took down the entire pole line In the center of the street ind put a new pole line on he ?;de of the street from Main Street to Sixth East street: the :ily then leveled and graded and oiled that street, all of which was a considerable expense. We lid not hive much complaint about the streets six years ago, how is it that the streets have now become the target of criticism. the same as the electric light plant was a few years ago? We also pubpetent auditors.statements lish financial of the citys finances from time to time. Hence I feel that If this "United! party must adopt a form that is built on destructive criticism or false statements, (it wiU naturally fall of Its own weight. I feel that thLs information should be given the people of Logan and we have invited in the past, and do now, any and all citizens to call at the city office and ask any questions of the employees, and I assure you that you will be treated courteously bv those in charge of the records.

Why is it! that this new organization is not willing to give credit to a single undertaking and made by the present city administration? The "United Logan Party also criticises our water department. and state that they wiU develop and improve Logans water system. Is this organizu- tion ignorant of what has been done to develop and improve our water system Prior to" this administration, all wiU recall, there was a shortage of water in Logan City every season.

The new party enumerates what wonderful improvements they will accomplish without any additional tax levies. There is only one "source from which funds for the streets can come and that is from taxation. During these times of depression public funds must not be squandered or recklessly spent No cla.m is made that the money we have had for streets has not been well spent. Then what Is the remedy? Do the people want the tax levies for the street department increased at this time? It is important that public servants be selected who have had experience In public affairs and fitted for the positions that are to be filled. These responsibilities to select such men are vested in the people and should be carefully guarded. The people should not be stampeeded by great "Hurrahs bv those who make great promises which they know can not be fulfilled. Their criticism against our street department. I consider is the most unjust and unfair of all. I have already stated that in January, 1926, Logan City did not own any road equipment to be used on our struets, neither tractor, scarifier, nor grader, During this administration two tractors have been purchased, one scarifier, one grader, and of trucks at an expenditure about $15,000. During 1930, 26 blocks of streets were graveled and oiled, 46 845 gallons of oil were required to do this work. During the same year. 124 blocks of streets were scarified and graded and 4,335 yards of gravel were crushed and placed on the streets. More effective and constructive work has been on the streets during the past six years than was done on the streets during 20 years prior thereto. grounds in Logan City. In consideration for this the city had the understanding with the college for tie old uslghtly fense to be removed from the Adams Iieid and those grounds thrown to the city for public play open grounds, which h,as been done. With a small amount of money, these grounds can now be made splendid play grounds for that part of the city. About $16,000.00 has also been spent in the acquirement and Improvement of the Memorial Park grounds and these grounds with some additional expendi-- ! tures can be made splendid play grounds for that part of the city.
