What UriflH
One of the greatest needs of Grif
fin at the present time, is a Mayor
and City Council who appreciate the
fact that Griffin is a growing city,
not a finished town. We want men
who can look ahead and piovide for
farther needs. It is false eeonemy
for a city to build only for the pres
eot, as evidenced by oar preaeDt sye
tern of working tbe streets. Debt,
to a city, is not always a burden,
and in many instances it is true econ
my. Our city offices should not be
looked upon as places of emolument,
to be given to personal favorites,
but as tbe means of securing to our
eity good government and wise man
agement, aad should be given to
those best fitted for tbe positions.
Tbe News has long advocated tbe
abandonment of personal tights at
our municipal elections, and it hopes
that tbe time has come when our cit
izens can unite npon a ticket compos
ed of our best and most progressive
citizens.
