This newspaper has implicit confidence in the City Council. As a newspaper we have kept the issue of an automatic broom before the public because we believe that s' big majority of the people feel that-such a large expenditure of money could go tor a better and more beneficial cause. There is nothing personal in the matter, as some of the third termers are trying to hint We believe we are expressing the majority thought of the people and we'd be glad to see a referendum on the question. We also doubt seriously the legality of using a broom, bought from parking meter funds, on all the Decatur streets. We sincerely hope that every council member, prior to next Tuesday's council meeting, discusses the matter with the people whom they represent and with local attorneys. We honestly and sincerely believe if each council member follows the will of the people, the broom purchase matter will be delayed until next spring, at least ♦ 0I— Jerry Beamer, 14-year old high school student at Phoenix, Arizona, and a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Beamer of that city and nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Beamer of 222 West Jefferson street in Decatur, was the victim October 6 of a youth gang slaying in the Arizona city. These gangs of young hoodlums which roam the streets of cities are becoming a serious problem. The Beamer slaying strikes a little closer home because of Decatur relatives. The boy, a freshman in high school, was a bright young man and as far as can be learned never took: part in any gang activities. The dreame-Af deni parents were blacked out in a few minutes of hoodlum fighting. We should be thankful here in Decatur that we have such institutions as the Youth and Community Center; clubs for our young people; organized athletics and a strong "juvenile division of the Circuit Court. These many advantages to the young people seem routine here in Decatur, but they have helped a lot in holding the Juvenile and youth gang problems to a minimum.

To The Voters of Decatur. lam a native of Decatur and my greatest desire is to be a good Mayor, with the aid of every citizen. To that end I solicit your vote and support at the November 8 election with the following statement: I am not a miracle man, but I promise you that I shall work every minute of my tenure of office for the best interests of all the people of Decatur. s An unbiased and thorough study of Decatur’s municipal utility problems, both power and water, will be one of my first recommendations to the City Council. I believe that under supervision of the council, engineers, industry and the people should be represented on an committee and from that investigation, I believe recommendations will (?ome which will give us an ample supply of power and water. > Among my recommendations to the Council will be that all city trucks, and other vehicles and equipment shall be purchased only after the legal procedure of advertising for the lowest bid has been followed and that every piece of city equipment shall be marked “Property of City of Decatur” and that the equipment shall be used only by city employes in their conduct of city business. I shall recommend that all council meetings be held in the Council Room at City Hall and all shall be open to the public. I believe in strong police and fire protection and I shall never do anything which will lessen the efficiency of those departments. Our form of government is so organized that the people through the Council and, other elective and appointive offices shall operate their own government. I believe in that procedure and I shall use every member of the Council and the people in the operation of our government exactly in the manner as provided by statute. I shall name my board of works with care and caution and I shall never permit that board to usurp the power and privileges of the people and the members of the council. I want to be your Mayor and to be a good mayor, I believe it is important to have a Democrat clerk-treasurer and Democrat members of the council. To that end I earnestly and sincerely solicit your vote and your support at the election November 8 and your aid and suggestions for the ensuing four years. Robert D.
