A. Uvesley said he had a' mandate from, the people to build bridges, construct sewers, Install an incin erator and give the city adequate fire protection. The wise ones who knew all about the Salem voters, said ..the Mayor waa all wrong, and that t the. June 28 election, the people "would vote against everything except possibly thei Incinerator. v 'f ' x :' "The wise ones were all wronger The mayor was right.- The people voted for cHy beautiful in the ' way of bridges. - They . voted for sewers. They voted for the ln .cinerator ami for better fire pro tection. The old time voter who always, voted NO was snowed under. There is a new Salem aris ing and the people sanction im provements going up. Upward Trend of Real Estate The wise one who thinks lie will just wait and pick upTsome good real estate bargains In Salem, is doomed to be fooleC again. i tVby?
