"The Democratic a i a knows very well the finance povv ers of city government under the old charter belonged to the Representative Council," Letfis said.

"His facts are so confused that he does not even recall that taxes were raised after I completed my two terms as mayor. "His campaigns have been consistent failures since 1946. It is no wonder. evades the issues and resorts to mud-slinging tactics," said Lewis. As to the claim that Joseph A.

Savage, Democratic candidate for state senator, had increased the pensions of retired city employes $400 annually, and increased pensions to firemen and policemen, Lewis said lhat also was a misrepresentation.
