The Honeymoon IS OVER $1,200, OOOreported invested for taxpayers ' 923,000 owed by taxpayers 297,000 balance for benefit of taxpayers LET’S FACE THE FACTS! The next mayor of Decatur will not have an easy job. There will be no more city light plants which can be sold for $2,073,058.50 plus reserves and balances. While it is true that about $1,200,000 left from the sale of the light plant has been invested for the benefit of the citizens, it should be remembered that $923,000 is owed on long term bonds on the other two utilities, according to the official financial statement of June 30,1963. There is much to be finished and much to be done. To get the most for your tax dollar in the next four years you must vote for

As candidates for the city council, city clerktreasurer and city judge, we believe it is highly important to elect a mayor who can begin, supervise and FINISH the necessary reforms Decatur needs. In going on record in support of our candidate Carl Gerber, we believe that with our help and yours he can FINISH the job. We therefore, wholeheartedly endorse his program as follows: 1. The re-establishment of regular daily office hours by the mayor. Decatur’s problems are big enough and the salary big enough to pay for a working mayor. As citizens, you will be able to meet or discuss city matters with your mayor daily. 2. The street department again should provide prompt snow removel, weed cutting and the main street cleaned before Sunday church traffic. Most important there should be supervision of new street construction to eliminate “bird baths” in the pavement because of faulty location of grade and«a catch basins. Later, costly repair of mistakes takes money set aside for other street work. 3. An immediate investigation should be made into the cause of rusting out of water heaters and softeners. These should last more than three years. Other cities don’t have this problem.

4. The money available for the construetion of a new water source should be invested in the project before it is entirely frittered away. We are only kidding ourselves when we say we have enough water NOW. Higher rates have eliminated many desirable home use of water but there is still no surplus for a new industry. It’s possible a water supply source could also provide recreational fishing, boating or swimming uses. "We believe this can provide recreation for our children now and industrial jobs for them in the future. 5. Girls are people. They deserve as much supervised recreation as our boys are now getting. A centralized recreation-program organized with thought and energy can do as much for girls as it now does for boys with the same amount of money. 6. Already our city has spent more than , a quarter of a million dollars on new water towers, water mains and fire department improvements without insurance buyers getting one cent of reduction on fire insurance on houses, stores and factories because the job is not finished. -This should be done now. Pipe purchased last spring by the city should be put into the water mains where it belongs. Our city has spent enough to get back the fire rating it lost three years ago. A little work, not a lot of money, will cut eyery citizen’s insurance premium.
