NOTICE TO VOTERS
As this is the last issue of the Gate
way, before election, 1 want to call
the voters’ attention to the following
! facts:
I am an independent candidate for
Mayor, and l filed my own petition for
that office.
If you want an independent Council,
don't make the mistake of placing all
the power in one man’s hands.
A boss-ridden Council, always
works a hardship on the community,
| ami particularly on the taxpayers.
I Keep this in mind when you vote.
A public office should at all times
be considered a public trust, and it
vou are to get good results, it m,usl
come through an official who is not
obligated or tied up to some man 01
special interests.
Regardless of attempts to dodge the
issue and the issue of 11th hour state-1
ments. the record of the Council still
stands, and I would like to have every
interested voter, to call on the City
Clerk, and verify my statements. Get
the facts direct.
sam’l McDonald.
Candidate for Mayor.
TO THE VOTERS
April *2, 1017.
As a member of the present council j
and as a candidate for re-election,
which was not my own volition, but at
tin* urgent request of the tax payers
of the town, I feel that the stand 1
have taken on all matters concernim*
the general welfare of the community, j
• • •
merits neither censure or criticism!
from any quarter.
One of mv opponents, whose candi
dacy for mayor was put forth by cer-!
tain interests, has made an unwar
i an ted attack on the present council,
which, from its unfair character, I
cannot permit to go unchallenged.
He has attempted to show that the!
present council has wasted, squander
ed or foolishly spent something ovoi
$50,000.
The same source from which he ob
tained his figures of the lump sum ex
pended, also contained the items for
which each and every expenditure was j
made, but he butt no desire to give
them to the public, they had no fas
cination for him. His entire state- j
nient, built on the shifting sands of
inaccuracy, could stand no investiga
tion.
Hut it is not my purpose to further
discuss the candidacy of this oppon
ent; tike the Turk in the war, now
raging in Kurope, he is fighting in the
shadow of the mailed fist that con
trols his fortunes.
In another column of this issue will
be found a statement showing the
amount of taxes received and how ex -!
pended, and it will be therein shown
that instead of being hopelessly
swamped, the city has assets of $5,000
over its present liabilities.
In some quarters it has been said
that Dougherty caused the city to
spend a great deal of the funds on the
improvement of Adams street.
The books of the clork will show*
that the total cost of grading Adums
street was $1,197.40. Two-thirds of
that amount w*as paid by the owners
of abutting property on Adams street,
leaving the general fund to pay the
other third, which amounted to
$399.13. Was that money well spent?
1 think it was.
The sidewalk on Adams street cost
$1,028.65, the owners of abutting
property paying, as in all similar
cases, two-thirds of the total cost and
the city paying the other third, which
in this case, amounted to $.‘142.88.
Was that $,‘142.88 well spent by the
city? I think it was.
I have hoped and worked for a big
ger and a better Seward, favoring no
particular locality or section.
If we are now inviting people to
come to Seward and build homes we;
must show an abiding faith in the j
future of our town and that faith can
be reflected in no better way than in
the maintenance of good schools, an
efficient fire department, good streets,;
sidewalks and a good seweruge sys- j
tern. Yours sincerely,
HUGH DOUGHERTY.
