CONGRATULATIONS
Congratuations to the New Borger city commission.
Feeling that the victory of the citizen's party at
Tuesday's: city election was more in truth a victory both
j of "he- people nr.d thi ir right to freedom of the press, w<
take pleasure in extending to the new commissioners our
: coi gratulatipns and best wishes for two years of £on-
j structive civic work.
To the retiring commissioners who are taking heir
I defeat as good sports, we have the utmost good will and
j take this opportunity to thank them for the sc-. jco they
: rendered the city during their two years in office. They
have our respect and friendship.
It will not be the easiest job on earth to steer our
city during its next two years of political life. Ahead lie
many problems, many of which must be tackled at orce
and in an intelligent manner.
The utility question and the bond i:;:-ue will no doubt
be among the first items on the work calendar. With
John II. Miller again in the saddle, the common ]>■ iple
can rest assured that the utility question will receive the
careful and just attention that it deserves.
The manner in which to dispose of the bonded debt
of the city remain a subject for careful study before an\
