councilman john B mitchell Ml and recorder mrs ellen L brooks As usual we have regrets that some people are GO indifferent that they were not concerned as to registering while some few who were in a position to vote refused to make any effort to do so and of course we are likely to hear from them later as to lust just how city affairs should be run and why they are entitled to more than Is coming their way in civic matters truly it Is surprising to note the indifference of some of the populace however with votes cast and both factions of political power having a finger in the pie let us hope that good team work will follow and with the new blood infused into the administration we shall expect the citizenship to enjoy the carrying out of promises made and a bigger and better city be the outcome the experience and practical knowledge of the mayor and the holdover councilman john simmons will help materially in guiding the others aright in the more important matters already under consideration we doff our hats bats to the old and new members of the city authorities hoping they may have the operation cooperation co of the citizens at large larg in all their undertakings

the case caie of the mule beyond this they ore are powerless and possibly their united endeavor will only result in fair returns tor for their every hope ambition and attainment as has been tho the aim of those who have served from year tear to year during the past half century lot let us hope further that having taken the initiative step with employers civic and fraternal organizations looking forward to the plan of providing tor for the of this community more wholesome and better recreation during their leisure hours their fondest hopes may be realized and having done all this they will have the satisfaction is of having been awake at least but let us proffer a word of caution that after all Is said and done you may still be made to feel that as a whole your finished work may hardly get the encomium you are entitled to from a group of people who tall fall to see merit in anything grand or glorious and your vote of approval at a later day may be I 1 disappointing cause us folks
