If I am elected I shall be opposed to the county employ' Ing us Its lawyer the lawyer of the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany. i The health of the city of Atlanta and of Fulton county is one ot the princi pal Inducements we offer to people and business to locate with us.

If elected I shall favor the deposit of these funds with good security In safe, solvent banka which offer the beat rate of Interest, a* the city now does.
