THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, AUGUST I, 1961 RE-ELECT ... Ernest H. Layton Mayor of Newberry HONEST - RELIABLE PROGRESSIVE I OFFER FOR RE-ELECTION AS MAYOR ON THE FOLLOWING PLATFORM- 1. I favor a 5-year development and improvement plan for our city. In order to give our City a definite goal to look forward to for improvement and development, I suggest the adoption of a five-year plan with a year-to-year updating .of such a program. 2. I favor an improved public relations program for our City. In order to keep our citizens informed of all the facts, good or bad, If eel that a public relations program should be instituted to improve the image of our City Government in the eyes of its citizens as well as in the eyes of the State and Nation. 3. I favor continued improvement of employment conditions for City employees. ■ ■ I believe that a personnel policy nuinuaj could be effectively adopted by our City setting forth in detail new pay rates, fringe benefits and incentive programs to encourage our employees. 4. I favor complete zoning and building ordinances for our city. If re-elected, I will work closelyftotth City Planning Commission so that a sound development pkui and zoning ordinance can be adopted to protect our property owners and to help attract new business and industry for our City. i * 5. I shall continue to seek new industries for our City. I feel that our City Government- should and must take a more effective role in setting up a framework for attracting industry. We cannot continue to look at the past but must look at the future so that the job op portunities can be available for our youth. 6. I favor streamlining our governmental operations in order to keep our City abreast of the times. It is necessary for us to update eUr methods, equipment and thinking. In this respect, we must have the sight and courage to make decisions ba&ed on what we think is best for the City of Newberry at large, and not what pressure groups or a very few people may de sire. 7. I favor increasing our efforts in the field of health and public wel fare. 7 ; In order to provide our citizens with a better place to live, our City has a responsibility to the people for providing and enforcing adequate sanitation laws which we have been relying upon County, State and Federal agencies to handle for us but should be handled partially through our City Government. 8. I favor City participation in improving our education program. The field of education is vitally important to all of our citizens, and I think it is the City’s responsibility to promote a closer working relationship with all educational facilities in the City and co-ordinate, insofar as possible, its recreational program and other educational programs with that of our school system. 9. I favor a continuing safety and civil defense program for our City. We must continue our efforts from day to day to improve the safety program for our citizens. Our present civil defense program has been improved greatly in the last two years, but there are other improvements which must be made in the fields of traffic, fire and civil defense during the coming years. I believe that our City Government should take a lead in these endeavors. 10. I favor a planned beautification program for our City. I believe that the City Government should continue to work with and support the activities of the Civic League and should look forward to also improving such things as our streets, sidewalks, lighting and city- owned buildings. 11. I stand for continued economy in Government. It is my belief and desire to continue to work for the best interest of the people in the City of Newberry and to see that their tax dollar is spent in the wisest possible manner. ^ k 1 f 12. I continue to favprtbe Council-Manager form of Government. It is my belief and firm conviction that all of my platform can best be carried out through the Council-Man ager form of Government and that the best interests of all the people of Newberry can be served by continuing to have a City Manager. ^ 3 > -i U i * y ?• Ernest H.
