HARROW COUNTY. UA., THURSDAY. OCTOBER 2N. 1020 Geo. Thompson Writes Card to Winder Citizens TO THE CITIZEN’S OF WIN PER: In view of tlie fact that there seems to be some inisuinlerstainling on the part of the ptibiie as to the condition of th City’s affairs, L beg to cull your atten tion lo the facts as shown bv the last audit made of Ihe books, which show that the Oitv is in far better financial condition than it has been at any time within the last several years. tin warranted and unjust attacks have been made by certain parties upon the present administration; in behalf of my- self, I want to say that we have not on ly paid all of our current expenses as they have arisen, but in addition, we have paid off an old indebtedness of more than $20,000 that has been hang ing over the City for the past three ad ministrations, a part of which was for money borrowed !>v out predecessors to cover a deficit in .the sinking fund, and ihe balance was borrowed by them to finish up the school building. The water, sewerage and light sys tem of the City have been extended to bring these benefits and conveniences to a larger number vif people. Under the present management of the Water and l.ight department, the City has received a larger net income in spite of the fact that the rates for current have been in creased by- the Railroad Commission and the consumer’s rate is the same as in the past, I also wish to call attention to the fact that the school expense has greatly i reased. Reports on file at the City Hall will show you how and where every dollar of the City’s money has been spent. Ir responsible talk is cheap and easy. <fof the facts, apply your good judgment to them, and you will endorse the splen <lid work of the administration in your behalf.
