Hodges Campaigns On ‘Service' Issue

(Continued from page 1) good city administration can help bring about. Citing figures from the United Telephone Cb.» the committee said Warsaw had a total of 4,467 telephones in use in mittee advanced figures of city growth as a barometer of what September of 1952, and 7,726 telephones in September of 1963. In 1952 the city had a net taxable valuation of $12,142,932, as revealed by the office of the county auditor, and in 1963 the valuation was $16,017,710. The committee quickly pointed out that Hodges could not claim credit for; this growth, but that effective city administration fostered such growth. Raps Opponent Hodges’ fire in the campaign: has been directed at his Republi- I can opponent, now a member of 1 the city council. ( He has claimed his opponent was his opposition’s “last choice” as an opponent for him in November. He charged the city Republican committee with “intersering” in the selection of its . candidates in the primary election. He said his opponent would be mayor in name only if elected. Hodges said he appointed his opponent to the board of works; and the park board, but that he has been absent from the following meetings since May of this year. He said his opponent has attended only one park board meeting all year. He was also a member of the planning committee for one year and during that time he was absent from most all the meetings. He cited this record: May 20 - Left when meeting was half May 27 - Annexation meeting - not present. j June 4 - Board of Works - not present. June 24 - Budget meeting - not present. _ , July 16 - Board of Works - not present. He said this type of absenteeism would shift the work load to the city council and leave the various departments “uninstructed” in their duties and responsibilities. He said the “niceties” in which his opponent is being clothed make good reading, but can leave a city administration sputter to a grinding halt. Earlier Hodges said his opponent would be a “controlled puppet”, if elected. Hodges promised an all-out, man-to-man campaign in the 10day period remaining before the city election on Nov. 5. He said his biggest single “lift” in the campaign so when from 200 to 300-riurned but at his reception on Friday, Oct. 11, at his office at 1209 east Smith street. “This is solid evidence”, he said, “that the people of Warsaw are fully aware of the type of city administration we have tried to provide”. The Hodges-For-Mayor committee consists of: Roger Clemens, chairman; Mrs. Don (Sheila) Babcock, vice chairman; Mrs. M. F. (Bud) (Dorothy) Todd, secretary; and Earl Longfellow, treasurer.
