Sensible administration and sensible spending have enabled huge sums to be saved. The Schaffer Administration pledged economies and we are certain now that we can reduce the tax levy for municipal purposes one mill during the new fiscal year. We will have approximately $36,000 on hand in the city treasury April 1, 1958, compared to $25,000 one year ago (when the Schaffer Administration completed its first year in office). When the Schaffer Administration took over the reins of O'Neill city government May 1, 1956, the city's financial position was at a low ebb. We have effected savings in almost every phase of city government during this two-year period, as vividly revealed by the auditor’s reports. This record could not have been brought about except for the splendid coopera tion of the citizens of O'Neill, your reasonable demands and your helpful suggestions. We solicit and appreciate your comments and criticisms because we are all interest ed in making O'Neill a better city and a better place to live. We’re grateful for your support and help in the past and, if we all work together, O’Neill will march forward and clinch its role as "the best darned town in the state”. We urge you to exercise your American heritage of voting, and we urge you to— (X) The Schaffer Slate! CITY ELECTION Tuesday, April 1, 1958 D. C. SCHAFFER _ For Mayor For City Council: A. W.
