SCENE ON COk. FAIR AND WALNUT STREETS
The Woodward Campaign Committee Has Been Telling
You That Chambers and “His Ring” Have Been Wasting
Your Tax and Bond Money.
How true this is, is evident to any person in Atlanta who will take the
trouble to investigate.
The accompanying pictures were used in one of the afternoon papers re
cently to illustrate the terrible condition of the streets of Atlanta. They
are actual photographs, and can not be denied. Chambers and “His Ring”
are directly responsible for these conditions. He has been chairman of either
the sewer or street committee for the past four years. Think it over.
WHAT HAS BECOME OF
THE PEOPLE'S MONEY?
Elect James G. Woodward, and he will tell you the truth,
the whole truth, regardless of whom it hits.
