est proposit on that - Newberry has
er had or will ever ha.ve for the pay

n the council- I could only get my own
rota ina favor &f it, and as none of the
~itizens, save The Herald and' News,
ould 'Tally to my rescue,'it was -im
osiblgfor lie to accept this propos.i
ion. I think it was a serious nms
ake, and amn satisfied that a like op
ortuntfy will not be offered/us again.
"I regret to see that some people in
iur town who say that they want a
~lean town and the ordinances enforcZ
d, do not speak the trufth, but, gnr the
~ontrary, they want trade (the dolla.r)
nd if it takes liquor selling, gamiblng
~rowded streets, or other vices to get
it, they want "the 40Har." On tie out
ide, of course, they pretend to be
~reat Christians. -;
"In -my opinion, the greatest burden
ipon our town is 'the manner in which
ve pay for water and lights.' I consid
r this outrageous, but i't is useless for
ne to say anything, for the people
ave recently endorsed the system by
e-electihg one of the members of the
coard, and-neither you nor our people
hould kcomplain, no matter what price
rou pay in the future.
"We boast of the fact that we have
iven the people a clean town, clean
'treets, sand, to the best of our ability,
lean morals, so far as the enforce
flent of law can give clean morals, and
ave done our part to keep down law
essness. And, in this connection, I
an say here, that there is no better
)olce force i the State. None of them
ias been suspended or reprimanded
,ither by me or by the chief during the
iear. '11ey have all been dober, hard
yorkers, 'and attentive to their dut.ies.
nd I can say this for all the subordi
ate officers of the town, and the re
ort of the expert accountant speaks
rolumes for the clerk and treasurer of
~ouncil, who has been faithful and
~fficient. The work of the superintend
ne of streets speaks for itself.
"Of course I do not expect you gen
lemen to re-elect all these officials.
