To The Citizens Of Jackson It has been my privilege to serve you on our City Council and as Mayor of our City for several years. As the next two years will be crucial ones in our City, I feel that the exper ience I have gained during these years will be invaluable to me in serving you in the next two years, should you re-elect me. As your Mayor, I have worked long hours to help in securing industries which have provided jobs for our people. We have had a lot of growth in every area of our City. This growth has, of course, brought on problems, which I have worked diligently in trying to solve to the best of my ability. The Mayor’s job requires a lot of time everyday, some times all day and into the night. Your Mayor presides over City Council meetings and City Court. He has to work with State, Federal, and local officials and fill out various Federal and State forms pertaining to our City. Your Mayor, as pro vided in the City Charter, is in charge and has to act in your behalf in case of civil disorder, bomb threats, or any major disaster. During the next two years, your City will have more orderly growth which will present problems. We have in the past, are now, and will in the future, face many problems of all kinds in our City. I think the largest problem facing us today is our drug situation. This affects adults and our youth, which to me is our greatest asset. After much study and advice from Federal, State, and other narcotic experts, among other things, we have installed a T. I. P. (Turn In Pusher) Program in our City which will include an educational program for all of our citizens, to point out the dangers of drug abuse. I will do everything I can to work with everyone to help stamp out this problem in our City. Your City is big business! Last year, 1971, this City’s in come Avas $1,004,909.68. I ask you to look at all the progress in every area made in our City without a tax increase and paid for on a cash basis and compare our City with any surrounding City. I respectfully ask you to go to the polls Friday, October 6, 1972, and re-elect: C. B. Brown, Jr., Mayor Qualified Experienced “THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR EXPERIENCE” G.
