Progress in our city and in our city government is something more than just talk. Progress is to move forward.

It is the result of study, planning, financing and the completion of projects. The STREET PROGRAM which is a tribute to the people of Estherville for their fine cooperation will be entering its seventh year in 1964. Upon completion, over of the streets will be permanent. The program draws the greatest praise from our visitors. The SEWAGE TREATMENT plant is receiving the most attention of the City Council at this time.

Plans are under way to haul the sludge away and to abandon the city dump. A site some distance from our city is planned for a sanitary land fill, so all garbage and refuse can be covered with dirt. The CITY PARK and RECREATION PROGRAMS will be separated in 1964. The Park Commission will receive its full one mill of tax money for park improvements. One-half mill will go to expand the recreation program.

A NEW BRIDGE to the northwest of our city is in the planning stage. The county, in 1964, is going to grade the road northwest of Estherville and the City Council in cooperation has instructed the Superintendent of Public Works to contact bridge engineers and to make studies of sites and locations for the new bridge. Programs such as those described above are now in various stages of completion. If we are to continue move forward, these programs must be expanded so that Estherville may continue to be known as "The City Planning Beyond Tomorrow, Producing Progress I have done my best in the past years to work for the betterment of Estherville and, if elected, I pledge to continue to give my full lime and energy to serving this community. Your predated.

Sincerely, support will be ap. Jack B. White.
