Let's get together in the work.
Join hands in a sort of genuine friendly
st >nd the problem. Still many people will unquestionably submit opinions on it
w.thout giving it due consideration and thereby influence many who are densely
i'norant. There is an element of uncertainty attached to the outcome of sui h
a Tsirs when disagreements arise between men who ought to know and undei-
stand and co-operate to work for the welfare of the city.
Public discontent is generally aroused over poor service. Perhaps peop’e of
Miiledgeville are just now awakening to the true condition and are clamoring
fo ■ different service from that which they have had in the past. City water-
w irks and city electric lights are r.ot experimental venture-1, for they are
t-oroughly established in many cities. Poor telephone service would—and il
nvght be added does—occasion displeasure on the part of the citizens and city
0 vnership might solve thiB problem. These are days when people will have
w mt they desire. It is only a questi m as to the manner in which they will get it.
Mayor Bell’s message is open, trank and to the point, Tile great scope of a
e tv's government makes it necessarily long, but it no doubt merits reading fu
l/by every citizen of Miiledgeville who is interested in progress and advance-
mint. To the man who is unacqu tinted with the so-called inner-workings of

lies in another city, there s*ems to be no room for contention but that Miiledge-
v.Ue is now a wiser place from the standpoint of city government than ever be
fore in its history arid tho way open for great material progress and prosperity.
And this is said without any reflection on the people of paat, for the country
is advancing. Miiledgeville is taking its place in the front ranks in the line of
march, the clarion call has been sounded,the way’iw open for improvement and it
n >w remains the duty of the people, collectively and individually, to do their
work in the task that confronts the city-the great almost impossible task of ris-
