I do not know of any occasion when gambling has had any influence on city government. 7. The position of Water Department clerk, to me, as an individual member of Council, is definitely not political.

I never have been and never will be influenced by political affiliation In the selection of a city employe.

He had been trained in that type of work, and that was the type of man I felt the city needed to handle the work of the office that has proven to be the city's greatest source of revenue. If I had felt that the present personnel of the City Treasurer's office was sufficient to handle the added work caused by the installation of water meters, the position of Water Department not have been Cemetery Delbert director.
