Joe H. Acker on his farm east
of Lovejoy is planning to set lob
lolly pines on 25 acres of steep,
bench type terraced cropland
that has been one-crop farmed
for many years without a rota
tion of summer or winter cover
crops. Over the years erosion in
the form of sheet and gully has
taken its toll leaving these areas
almost void of topsoil and crop
yields reduced to a level whereby
row crops can’t be grown profit
ably. Pine trees set on these
areas will return a good annual
interest on the investment when
managed properly.

strotion than ever before. It is this kind of administration that I shall endeavor
to give you. We need to bury all political hatchets and approach our problems
with a degree of unity and enthusiasm which is seldom evidenced in small
towns. ,
There ore so many things which need doing — We need to invite industry to
locate in Forest Park so as to more equitably distribute the tax load. I have
worked diligently towards that objective. We all know that industry will not
come to a community that cannot offer sewer facilities. We also know that
when our sewer lines are completed a health hazard will be eliminated that our
State Health Department has recognized for some time. Your Council and I
have ordered a survey made on the South Side of the City, with the cooperation
of our County Officials in building a disposal plant, work can begin in that area
next year.
There is so much work which needs to be done. Sidewalks are needed to get
the children out of the streets. Much can be accomplished if we approach the
problem in unison.
As stated, I cannot promise you any specific thing which does not come
under the Executive Branch of your City Government. I can only present them
to your Council tor consideration.
I can promise you a meticulously honest administration of city affairs, and
that you will be keptadv.sed as to what transpires at your council meetings.
Moreover l ean promise to represent you at all functions with dignity and pride
to the end that we will have a little city of which we may be justly proud All
