Citizens of Decatur We Are Proud Os These Accomplishments: 1. We have a one week general clean-up collection of trash and rubbish during the spring and fall. In addition to this, we now have a trash collection once a month instead of just twice yearly. We have improved the garbage collection — Ask any housewife! 2. We accepted the responsibility of planning and building the state mandated sewage disposal plant which should have been built years ago instead of an expensive diesel electric plant. 3. We saved the people of Decatur a quarter of a million dollars ($250,000) by being the first city in Indiana to apply for Federal aid in the cost of construction of the state mandated sewage disposal plant. 4. We have properly identified ALL city-owned vehicles and require these vehicles to be used for City business only. 5. We have abolished all secret council meetings and during the past four years there have been no secret or undercover meetings of the city council. I have never missed a council meeting during my four year administration and your council members have been in attendance at all meetings with very few exceptions. 6. We have built 15 blocks of city streets and resurfaced 199 blocks. NEVER before has so much street improvement been made. We have put into effect a definite snow removal program. 7. We have eliminated the water shortage. We now have ample water to develop industrial interest and assure growth and expansion of Decatur. We are now constructing a 12” water line across the river thereby creating a larger supply of water for future Decatur citizens and additional protection in case of a large fire., 8. We have eliminated waste and increased the efficiency of all departments of your city government. 9. We have established a friendly relationship with industry and have created a program for the future development of Decatur. 10. We have developed an efficient city government. * Average yearly civil city tax rate for the last 4 years of the Republican Administration $1.51. Average yearly civil city tax rate during the past 4 years of DEMO- ~ CRATIC Administration $1.39. YOU have paid less tax even though city employee salaries and all other expenses have greatly increased. You have received more new streets, better garbage and trash collection as well as many more additional services. Few if any business or industries can show a record of INCREASED SERVICE at NO increase in price. WE WILL CONTINUE THIS GOOD MANAGEMENT AND PROGRESSIVE LEADERSHIP DURING THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. . ■■ Ml- ■ W rl Vote for 4 More Years of Progressive Leadership ...VOTE DEMOCRATIC...
