I feel th a t we should in ten sify o u r
effo rts to en co u rag e m o re in d u stry to come
to B rookings to join th e m any fine plants
t h a t have com e to o u r city in recen t years.
M uch th o u g h t should be given to a diversified
econom y w ich I firm ly believe is possible in
th is area. I have re cen tly talk ed to people
engaged in th e m a n u fa c tu re of wood by­
p ro d u cts who have expressed an in tere st in
com ing to th is area, th is I believe would be
a fine ex am p le of diversifying o u r in d u stry
if p la n ts of this n a tu re could be induced to
com e to B rookings. O u r C ham ber of Com ­
m erce has done m uch to point out th e ad ­
v an tag e s w e h av e h ere and I feel th a t we
should u n ite and redouble o u r efforts to get
m ore in d u stry to this area. W e m ust decide
as to w h at o u r goal should be in reg ard to a
h a rb o r and w hen we have an u n d erstan d in g
on th e local level p resen t o u r objective to
th e p ro p e r au th o rities.

M uch th o u g h t is being devoted to the
co n stru c tio n of an ad e q u a te sew age dis*
trib u rio n system . T he m ethod by w hich this
is to he achieved will v ery likely be put to
you as v o ters as soon as som ething con­
c re te hi“ been w orked out. I do not believe
th a t a sa tis fa c to ry solution will be achieved
in th e n e a r fu tu re w ith co n stan t bickering.
It has com e to m y a tte n tio n th at the
neighboring city of Gold Beach has recently
m ade a successful tra n sitio n from p riv ate
ow nership of th e ir w a te r supply to city ow n­
ership. I w ould like to stu d y the m erits of
th e ir tra n sitio n as I feel th a t we m ight profit
e rs h ip I w ould like to stu d y the m erits th eir
tran sitio n as I feel th a t we m ight profit
by th e ir experience.
In m y y e a rs in th e lu m b er in d u stry I have
perso n ally supervised m uch road construction
and m ain ten an ce. T his does not m ean th a t
I am not open to advice on the m aintenance
of o u r s tre e ts b u t I do feel th a t I h av e a
defin ite o b jectiv e in m ind to im prove the
condition of o u r s tre e ts w ith o u t increasin g
o u r m ain ten an ce costs.
I am defin itely
ag a in st an ex ten siv e ce n te r s trip paving p ro ­
ject at this tim e. W e m u st firs t p u t o u r
ro ad s in shape w ith p ro p e r g ra d in g and
d rain ag e and d e te rm in e w-here ad d itio n al
w a te r and sew er lines a re to go so th a t we
do not w ork u n d u e h ard sh ip on ta x p a y e rs
in the fu tu rp .
In recen t w eeks false s ta te m e n ts have
been circu lated tjia t I favor a "w id e-o p en ”
tow-n and th a t vice w ill ru n ra m p a n t in
B rookings if I am elected m ayor. I know-
who some of th e individuals a re who are
circu latin g these vicious falsehoods but I
plished by low ering th e level o f th e cam paign
do not believe th a t an y th in g w ill be accom -
to a m ud slinging affair. I m erely w ish to
d a te th a t th ese s ta te m e n ts a r e u tte rly ri­
diculous.
I h av e prom ised no one a jo b in the
city a d m in istra tio n if I am elec ted m ay o r
nor have I prom ised any of m y su p p o rte rs
any favors. Should I be elected I w ill striv e
to keep all d e p a rtm e n ts of o u r city g o v ern ­
m ent o p eratin g as efficiently, fairly , and
econom ically as it is in m y pow-er to do.
I do not feel th a t we should c o n te m p la te
additional p ark s in o u r city in th e n e a r
fu tu re. We shall h av e too m an y o th e r d ev el­
opm ents th a t w e m u st spend o u r m oney on
for a long tim e to come. W e h av e tw o b ea u ­
tiful s ta te p ark s in o u r city lim its and I
think th a t w-e should w ork to w a rd o b tain in g
additional re c re a tio n a l fa cilities in these
parks, p a rtic u la rly in A zalea P a rk .
A dditional re c re a tio n facilities should be
developed in o u r city, p a rtic u la rly fo r o u r
y oungsters. This, how ever, can n o t be accom ­
plished by th e city a d m in is tra tio n alone.
Such activ ities should be p ro m o ted th ro u g h
the joint effo rts of o u r ch u rch es, o u r school
au th o rities, o u r civic o rg an izatio n s, th e city
au th o rities, and all of you as citizen s of
Brookings. I shall be h ap p y to w o rk w ith any
in terested individuals to w ard th is goal w h e th ­
e r o r not 1 am elec ted m ay o r of B rookings
in the com ing election.
N eith er m y opponent o r m y self w ould be
able to begin to solve th e p roblem s w hich will
b< con tin u ally lacin g us w ith o u t th e co o p era­
tion of a t least a m a jo rity of o u r fellow-
citizens and th e co o p eratio n of neig h b o rin g
com m unities.
If you choose to elect m e y o u r m ay o r I
ptom ise th a t I will not be* bound by "cro n y ­
ism or obligation to c e rta in groups. I will
striv e at all tim es to abide by th e w ishes
of the m a jo rity an d to u n selfish ly do e v e ry ­
th in g I can to m ak e B rookings a b ig g er and
increasingly b e tte r city in w hich to live.
If you believe as I do and feel th a t I can
re n d er you a service as y o u r n ex t m a y o r of
B rookings I will g re a tly a p p re c ia te y o u r
su p p o rt w hen y o u 'g o to th e polls on Nov. 2.

M any B rookings v o ters have inquired of

since I becam e a can d id ate for m ayor. I have
tried to an sw er them th e best I could and
w ould like to contact each and every one of
you and discuss o u r v ario u s issues but th a t
is im possible so I am tak in g this m eans of
ex pressing m yself.
I do not believe th a t any one person,
m ay o r included, o r an y sm all gro u p of
individuals can build o u r city. We m ust have
th e cooperation of all of o u r citizens and we
