Today that same tax rate is $6.91. The only tax the may or can possibly affect Is the city tax.

Thomas R. Brooks, candidate for mayor, is absolutely UNPLEDGED and UNBOSSED. If elected, he is free to pick and choose in City Hall.

Mr. Brooks is not responsible for the conduct of other departments. Tom Brooks is as FREE TO GIVE A NEW DEAL AND A SQUARE DEAL IN CITY HALL as any man before the people. In addition to that, he has the EXPERIENCE and a record of achievement. He will not be a novice, if elected.

He will know where to cut and trim out waste and inefficiency, so that the succeeding administration will be CREDITABLE TO TOM BROOKS and to THE PEOPLE OF HIS NATIVE CITY. ease: cases ana juvenile oreenaers; a more. rigid -enforcement of city ordi nances regarding the cleaning up of courts and places, "William R.
