Daley next served as deputy county comptroller before he was elected to the state House of Representatives for a two-year term in 1937.

DALEY Mayor-Elect of Chicago I thank the people of Chicago for their vote of confidence in my public record. No words can express my heartfelt appreciation to the thousands men and women. Democrats. Republicans. Independents, labor groups, community groups, and community newspapers.

Many issues were introduced in this campaign that directly attacked the reputation of Chicago and its people, sincerely hope that all the citixens and press of Chicago will unit with me in a program to portray the true greatness of Chicago and its people. In this campaign, I could find none of the bitterness that some of the opposition'said existed. Instead, I found the voters of Chicago courteous, helpful and fair. As mayor of Chicago, I shall have only one goal: to make this city a better and more beautiful place in which to live. I promise no miracles, no bargains, but with unity, cooperation and teamwork we will continue to build a better city for ourselves and our children.

As mayor of Chicago, I shall embrace charity, love, mercy and walk humbly with my God.

Southwest lighway and the Belt Line railroad had been sold earlier. All the streets and alleys were to a secret group known only as "Trust 8285." Although Aid. Corcoran con- ended he sponsored the sale of alifornia ave.

because Swift promises to build an office building on the plot between that street and Western it subsequently developed that Cali- 'ornia ave. was needed by "Trust to consolidate its two ngs East and West of the street. Aid. Corcoran maintained dur- ng the campaign that he did not know who comprised "Trust 8285." In contrast, McGrath contended: sale or disposition of city property is involved, here never should be any secrets. Public property is a sacred icritage which must be preserved at all costs at all times." With the returns showing him elected, McGrath said: My first move after taking office will be to present an order to the City council directing the corporation counsel to use whatever means are available to restore California ave.

to the people. "This may involve a lawsuit, but, whatever it involves, I shall fight the. deal until the public again owns that street." Originally a Republican, McGrath supported Mayor Kennelly the February primary election contest. After McGrath ran second to Corcoran in the primary, Aid. Pobert E.

Marcin overwhelmed Charles R. Barrett by 170,645. Sachs emerged high man with a majority of 217,452 over John L. Waner. The victorious candidates will be inaugurated before a meeting of the city council on April 20.

At that time Mayor Martin H. Kennelly, one of most beloved city, officials, will give up, the reins of the city government after eight years in office.

Sponsored by the Southtown Economist as part of its 50th anniversary program, this fascinat- ng and educational show will reflect the story of the success cf Southtown industry and people. During the past 50 years of growth and progress, Southtown las developed into the largest outlying shopping center in the world. In the beginning, railroads aid the transportation systems provided industry and people with needed facilities to wing into and move out of the community the manufacturing equipment and supplies essential an. industrial development. Industry's brought additional people into community.

People, industry and railroads poured their muscles and vitality into the estab- ishment of Southtown. Phases of this development will be illustrated in various ways at the Industry and Food Ixhibition presented to South- the Economist. The very newest ideas for practical improvement in living will be demonstrated by the latest scientific methods. Glamorous but sturdy items such as delicately tinted fiberglass that permits light pene- without glare will be proved equal to the strength leeded for awnings, skylights and room partitions for which it is now used.

But the voters registered their opinion that they did not believe "Dick" Daley can or could be "used." They asserted in no unmistakable manner that a man who ham spent a lifetime in the public service without a blemish could overnight be something different. Daley's smashing victory- is being heralded as the dawn of a new era for Chicago. A dynamic and efficient administrator, Daley told his audiences in the primary and election campaigns ihat he will assume full responsibility for all the commissions, departments and bureaus under jurisdiction of the mayor. As a consequence many starting changes in the city government are scheduled.

Whereas Mayor Kennelly took the position that once he appointed an official to a commission or board ic no longer had control over him, Daley contends appointees of the mayor always are responsible to the mayor's wishes. One of the first organizations to be hit by the new policy is ihe Chicago Transit Authority. Mayor elect Daley maintains that the board has failed to Rive the car-riding public adequate and cheap transportation and that, generally, it is not responsive to the public's needs. Several resignations of the seven- man board are predicted. So, too, with the board of education.

Daley said in the campaign that he will not permit politics to interfere with the management of the schools, but ic declared the record of recent Boards are nothing of which to be proud. Changes can be expected on that agency. The shocking condition of the lake front between Grant Park and Jackson Park disturbed Daley as it has most who drives what ought to be an attractive gateway to Chicago. Changes of the Chicago Parlc Board are scheduled. The Chicago Housing ity is another agency on the new mayor's clean-up list.

Although present members ousted Elizabeth Wood as executive secretary after twenty turbulent years. Daley contends they, too, are responsible for the racial discord and neighborhood opposition resulting from her policies. Most of the present City Hafl cabinet will be replaced. Although Daley has a Wjrh regard for Commissioner of lice Timothy O'Connor, he to appoint a successor. has not indicated who he will but Mid he win haw move.
