Hearing Scheduled for Fire District Rock county has placed its ap proval on petitions regarding the proposed Stuart fire prevention district.

Atkinson, O’Neill, Chambers, Ewing and Page presently have rural fire districts. CHAMBER TO MEET The April meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be held at 7 p.m., Monday at the M & M cafe. To the People of O’Neill! Within one week the people of O'Neill will elect three representatives to the office of city council. One year ago the people of this city were asked to vote for a new mayor and three counci Imen with the promise that expenditures had to be cut and the books of the city were in such bad shape that quick action would have to be taken to straigh- i ten them out. Remember, the big cry last year was to cut ! SPENDING. It is a matter of public record that this present admin istration has spent more the past year than was spent the year previous. No doubt, the present City Council have tried to cut spending, but it is well known that the Council has been composed of two distinct factions, causing j much discord. This lack of harmony has done nothing but cost the taxpayer money and to hold up necessary decisions which have not been reached due to the inabil ity to cooperate. One particular Councilman has allow ed this friction to cause him to repeatedly fail to attend regular Council meetings, thereby depriving citizens of his ward of the representation they are entitled to. A plan of close harmony and cooperation is needed to give S the City of O'Neill the efficient city government needed to save tax dollars. The condidates listed below have demonstrated their abilities and willingness to cooperate with each other and with the majority of the incumbent Council. The candidates whose names appear at the bottom of this page, hereby honestly pledge themselves to the task of reducing the yearly costs of this city. Not only to trim expenses wherever possible, but to see that for every dollar spent a maximum benefit will be obtained. Mr. Fred Heermann, Mr. Alan Van Vleck and Mr. C. R. Foree are all young and successful businessmen in the city. All are family men and are vitally interested in the welfare of our city; this includes the young people as well as older, established people. Our Council handles the business of the city. Let's put it on a business basis and let's get businessmen to handle it's affairs. Your earnest support for these men will not be disre garded, but will serve as a constant reminder that you are aware of increasing spending and that it is your de mand that taxes be lowered and costs lessened without sacrificing efficient management of the city's welfare. Alan Van Vleck - C. R. Foree - Fred 0. Heermann (FIRST WARD) (SECOND WARD) (THIRD WARD) This slate does not moke any promises that we cannot and will not keep. We do guarantee you that at any time any member of our ward has a problem or a complaint, our office door is open. What we will promise is GOOD SOUND MANAGEMENT OF YOUR TOWN. This is a must if you want to make your town run efficiently. 1 Retired Merchant Succumbs at 83 STUART—Owen O.
