OWNER S i I I n KJoen Letter To The Citizens and Voters of Morrow County A In announcing myself for re-election to the office of Morrow County Judge, I do so with a firm and sincere conviction that I have kept the pledge made to the citizens of Morrow County when I first sought the office of county judge six years ago. At that time I had a secret desire to prove to the people that the office was an important one in the county and a full time position if one was to give "value received" service. I pledged to; Make every effort to uphold my oath of office. Assume a leadership in Morrow County affairs that would promote a unification of all of Morrow County. Sponsor a planned program of road construction, maintenance and fi nancing. Approach with human under standing the problems of old age assist ance, juvenile, public health, probate and public relations. To encourage a fair and equitable tax program. To be most careful with expenditures but not to follow a "penny wise and pound fool ish method". To live in the county seat and be available at all reasonable times. Five years and four months later I am convinced that the office of Morrow County Judge is a most important one and that one must be alert at all times in coping with the problems beneficial to the county. THE RECORDS OF MY TERM ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL Although certain individuals have condemned me personally for condi tions, both good and bad, without re gard for true facts, or taking the effort toget the true facts, which are available in the records at the courthouse, I have found that without the unselfish efforts of Commissioners Ralph Thompson and Russell Miller, who have contributed many days of time and energy in plan ning and promoting policies and pro grams beneficial to all of the county, that we could not have accomplished those objectives of most interest to all the people. Although we have complet ed many projects in which we have a just pride, the score is not perfect, nor has it pleased everyone. We do, however, hon estly believe that we have endeavored bv word and action and, at the least pos sible expense, to carry out the dictates BASE YOUR DECISION ON THE FACTS of the taxpayers and citizens of Morrow County. We have made many efforts to keep before the public all matters of a public interest. Every transection is of public record and is available in the files at the courthouse. I am personally willing to defend our actions or intents in the great majority and to acknow ledge those errors with the humility of any normal human being. Our disap pointment is in the apathy of the public toward local problems with which we are confronted each day. We naturally as sume that people are satisfied when we do not get their reactions. In five years time one person has appeared before the court at a budget hearing, in spite of our constant efforts to qet the public inter ested. I n support of these contentions I would be most pleased to subhit further evidence and proof. Because of widespread rumors and malicious statements, Dredicated upon selfish purposes, lack of knowledge and personal persecution I herewith public ally submit for your consideration my complete denial of all the alleged wrongs and request that before vou completely make up your mind if I am a proper person to continue in the office of countv judge of Morrw County that you get the facts. I have no fear of the ultimate decision of a well informed per son. Let us base our decision on facts and not fiction. The Morrow County Court has attempted to manage your af fairs upon this formula and find that it pays dividends when properly applied. If you believe I am qualified to con tinue as a member of the Morrow County Court and assist in completing the programs and policies begun by this court and to further administer the af fairs of the countv within a budget ap proved by the people and their ability to pay, a vote for me at the Mav 21, 1954 election would be appreciated. Sincerely and respectfully submitted Garnet Barratt n Pi. Alv. Garnet Barratt, Heppnpp ' 'm,,l-l ., 0
