DeKALB COUNTY
WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?
The Manning Administration has on the planning board a
three stage multi-million dollar capital improvements
program to be launched in early 1969, including:
Building and rebuilding of roads, underpasses, overpasses,
traffic safety and control devices; helicopters for our fire
and police programs; more libraries; expanded health
facilities; more incinerators; more roads and sidewalks for
our schools; expansion of the water and sewer systems.
All of these - and more - will be accomplished WITH NO
INCREASE IN TAXES under Brince Manning's contin
ued administration.
An inherited deficit of two million dollars has been
turned into a reserve of over five million dollars. For the
first time in DeKalb history, for a period of a year and a
half, money was not borrowed against anticipated revenue
to operate your government.
The Sanitation Department has grown from 33
worn-out trucks and 30 routes to 126 modern trucks and
78 regularly scheduled routes. You have twice a week
garbage pickup instead of once a week.
A brand new fleet of 53 police cars were pur
chased ... a new police communications was purchased.
Raises have been given to our fine policeman to bring
them to a living wage.
Six new fire stations have been built, staffed and
equipped. A new snorkel truck has been purchased.
Firemen also have been raised to a decent wage standard.
New recreation facilities for youths and adults
include an 18 hole golf course and a tennis center. Ten
neighborhood recreation centers and ten swimming pools
are in operation, with others scheduled for the future.
Under the Manning Administration DeKalb has seen more
than 500 million dollars in new construction; a new
Courthouse built and equipped; two empty libraries
stocked and staffed; over 200 miles of county roads and
streets paved and resurfaced; construction started to
double the size of DeKalb General Hospital. All these
things -- and more -- were done with no new bond money
and a DECREASE in your general tax levy. This is the
record of the Brince Manning Administration ... a record
of progress, honesty, efficiency. Let's keep DeKalb
moving ahead. Vote for Brince Manning.
