I believe that I have made that matter plain. Taving and Street Improvements. Pome have urged that my election would be the end of city improve ments. I deny that. But if by that assertion they mean that I will op pose street paving and other expen sive Improvements along sparsely settled streets, and in opposition to the wishes of a majority of the prop erty owners, then I gladly plead guilty. I have seen too many tears shed within the past two years by widows and poor people who have already lost, or must eventually lose their homes, their meager sav ings of a lifetime by reason of so called benefit assessments, that in stead of benefiting them have wiped away their all. I believe, as ardent ly as any one in the city, that when improvements calling for special ben efit assessment are actually neces sary, that such improvements should be made, but that the wishes of prop erty owners should be given due con sideration, and their burdens be made as light as possible, and not that public officials should act with the ruthless consideration of a Rus sian Czar. Hotter Results From Tax Money. I dislike to criticise officials, but for years it has seemed to me that our city authorities have not ren dered value received for the immense taxes the people have been called upon to pay. I don't think that proper attention has been given to street work, and I do believe that if the streets were properly worked and worked at proper times, that we could have good streets, and with no greater amount to expend than the amount ordinarily raised for suc,h purpose. Promised Reduction in Taxes. I believe the City Council has been negligent in its duty in permitting the county to levy road taxes within the city. It is certainly illegal, and the citizens of this city have paid within the past five years nearly or quite $25,000 into the County Treas ury to assist in improving the roads about the cities and towns in the lower valley. AVe have noMhe money to give away, and it has been sheer cowardice that our city officials have suffered this to be done. Our char ter expressly provides that it shall be unlawful for the County Court to levy or collect any road tax from property within the city of Ashland, and it is the bounden duty of the Mayor and Common Council to pre vent this unlawful practice. If elect ed I shall try and save the people of the city any further extortion in that direction. I have not the time to write nor have you the time to read as to all the ideas and arguments that I might urge for the improvement of our city government, and the welfare of the people of the city. I believe in a good, reliable, eco nomical and conscientious adminis tration, on business principles, free from isms, extravagance and grafts. If elected I assure all of you that it will be my earnest endeavor to give the city such an administration. E. D. BRIGGS. STATEMENT OF CITY RECORDER Two years ago I was elected to the office of City Recorder. I found the books in a very unsatisfactory con dition as far as a system of account ing was concerned. I started at once to inaugurate a system that would comply with the many laws that gov ern and also give the people a set of books that were plain and compre hensive. In order to do this I found that it was necessary for me to go back to the time the recorder's books were first opened, and after two years' hard work I have succeeded in partially establishing a system that, when finished, will meet the approval of most of the people. Be ginning with January 1, 1912, you have had published from this office my monthly statement and balance sheet, showing where every cent comes from and where every cent goes to.. By applying business prin ciples to my office during my admin istration I have been able to save the city many thousands of dollars, and I will give a few instances, and in doing so I do not aim to criticise either the Mayor or Councilmen. They must necessarily rely on the City Recorder for the detail informa tion as to all matters of finances, and as these duties are practically all the duties the City Recorder has to do, I show these matters merely to 6how what proper accounting can accomplish. Savings Made in Street Paving, 1011. The City Engineer during 1911 presented the council estimates due the construction company, endors ing on these estimates that he had examined them and approved them and that the amounts were due the construction company, and as a mat ter of course the council ordered them paid. Not being satisfied with the estimates, I held up the payment of them until I checked them over thoroughly, and found that they were in error as follows: Final estimate paving of B street $ 2,200.00 Monthly estimates Paving District No. 4 20,415.18 Total $22,615.18 The estimates were corrected and I then paid the construction company, accordingly, which was $22,C15.18 less than the engineer had reported due them. Saving on Sidewalks. This same City Engineer certified that a certain amount was due the Leonard Wiles Cement Company, who constructed sidewalks here in 1911, after the same was presented to the council for payment, and in the natural course they were ordered paid and were paid. As this contract was of 1910, it took considerable I time to check up these estimates, but j when I arrived at a balance in check-1 ing these estimates of the City En-1 gineer I found that he had paid them for $1,3110 worth of work that they! had not done. The contract being j completed and the company having : had a settlement in full, I immedi-! ately took the matter up with them and recovered this $1,300 and re mitted it back to the city treasury in December, 1911. Finding that the construction company, doing the paving during 1911, and others had been using many of the city tools, I took the matter up with the street commis sioner and council and we succeeded in collecting, through the efforts of this office, $1,450.78 fo- -ental of city tools, which make a grand to tal of $23,3C5.9G savings to the city in the above named items.. I might add many other items of smaller amounts that aggregate sev eral thousand dollars, but as i am only giving thU statement to show you that I have accomplished some thing while acting as your recorder. I will not dwell further on this point. I know that I am opposed by num erous persons who are working to the-utmost of their ability to defeat my re-election, many of whom are doing it without cause or reason; others are doing it because I have refused to do things that are con trary to my oath and obligation. For instance, a leading business man in this city had the misfortune to deem himself superior to laws and regula tions last Fourth of July while the committee was pulling off the races on the Boulevard, and in refusing and resisting the militia boys he came off with the worst of it. He came to me as justice of the peace and wanted a warrant of arrest for one of the members of the militia. 1 told him that I was fully acquainted with the facts in the case and that he was in the wrong and shouldn't resist an officer of the law, as the militia was under orders from its captain and were officers of the law, and I refused the warrant. He then went to the district attorney's office for a warrant and the same was is sued, and Mr. Banford was arrested. His attorney appeared before the district attorney's office and moved for a dismissal, and after the argu ments were heard the case was dis missed, which shows that I was not in error and was dealing fairly with the case. There are many such cases as this where I am being criticised unjustly, and when you hear some one howling about the recorder's of fice just ask him to explain his reasons, and if you think I am nt fault come and tell me and give me a chance to show whether or not it is a fact. I have tried to do my duty as recorder since I have been in this ofNce and I assure you that if I am re-elected I will do so in the future without fear or favor. J. G. HURT. Unclaimed Letters.
