Vol ers of Camden County: May I present the legislative record of Senator Bruce A. Wallace? Having served the Senator as his legislative secretary in the New Jersey State Senate for seven years, I feel it is my personal and public duty to bring his excellent record to the attention of all the voters, and urge their support for the reelection of Bruce A. Wallace to the Senate, Tuesday, November 6th, 1951. Senator Wallace is an excellent Legislator who represents with willingness all of the people of Camden County, regardless of their political affiliation.

Senator Wallace is a Statesman of sterling quality who makes political promises and keeps them. When re-elected in 1932, Senator Wallace will be eligible to become Majority Leader of the Senate through his seniority; in 1953 will be eligible for Presidency of the Senate. Senator Wallace has earned this high merit of award by having served the people of New Jersey so faithfully. Let's all work together for the continuance of good legislation for Camden County, and the State of New Jersey, by returning Bruce A.Wallace to the State Senate. j.

City Commissioner McCord today praised Senator Wallace for his role in assuring a modern state boulevard on Seventh street to "serve the interests of the residents, shoppers and merchants without costing the city a penny." McCord's statement: "The people of Camden owe Senator Wallace a vote of appre-cation for his fine work in getting the state's consent to give us a modern highway on Seventh street without costing us a penny. "This project has been talked about for years, but nothing had been done about it realistically until Senator Wallace stepped into the matter. The city was not in a financial position to make this badly needed improvement itself and could do nothing. But thanks to Senator Wallace's interest, we are to have a Seventh street boulevard and at no cost whatsoever to the city.

The state is going to build the new highway, and pay for it. It will not add one cent to our Camden tax bills."

Wallace that he will "ask and work for prompt and immediate transportation relief for this area." During his pre-election campaign Wallace featured development of high-speed bridge transportation as one of his major platform planks, lie recalls in his statement that Governor Driscoll also made a similar pledge a year ago. In view of the friendly relations existing between Driscoll and Wallace, there is good reason to hope that at the next session of the Legislature high-speed transit will be high on the order of business and pushed with more vigor than has hitherto been exercised in its behalf.

The Legislature will have an exceptionally heavy agenda when it convenes in January because of the mass of new laws that must be written to conform with and put in effect the new Constitution just adopted by the voters.
