Ex-Mayor Green has always favored the investment of the people’s money in public improvements. He favored the expenditures of $30,000 in the water works and an other $30,000 in the electric lighting plant.

The people, irrespective of partg’ creed or nationality will be with him in -an endeavor to relieve the congested condition of ‘our present school buildings. He is the right man in the right place for his influence with the city council will as sure the improvements.

~ The city council at their last mee telected Ex-Mayor, Fred H. Green as a member of the school board to succeed Abe Goldsmith. There were several names mentioned in connection with the place, but Mr. Green became an active candidate and it did not take long to line up the council for him. Mr. Green will make a good member of the board if he shows ‘ his usual attention to its affairs. We hope that he will be as active in his efforts to improve the schools by giving them adequate facilties as he has been in spending the people’s money for municipal water and lighting plant. We can asgsure him that he zan and will have the support of all the people when it comes to providing for the schools. If there is any part of the municipal government that should be the very best it is our schools, and it is notorious that better and more modern accomadations are necessary.
