VOLUME 6, NUFBER 46. ANOTHERBOLOATTEMPTTO MISLEAD THE TAT PAYERS THAT ORDINANCE TO FIX RATES FOR THEJITT Some Plain facts About light and Water Com pany Matter ADO THE GALE RESOLUTION LonghWlndcd Ordinance is Only Meant to Mislead the Voters— Impossible to Secure the Rates Contained In it. W&at does the Bollcitor ot the city court take the taxpayers ana voters of Brunswick to be, a set of Idiots and fools T In his organ. the Journal, in Wednesday’s edition Tie states in flaring headlines that water, gas and fela-trW lights will he obtained a. about one-half the i>r*>--eut rates. An ordinance was introduced at a recess meeting of council Tuesday night too clearly to be Questioned as not Intended to be passed, if at all until after the primary ana clearly intended as a piece of political bun combe, used to deceive and inveigh -the innocent people of Brunswick. But do not be deceived. The do ticlan, the peanut nolitl ian, the rol itician that will stoop to anv meas ure and to any means to carry an election is abroad in the land. H' sees defeat and in order to stem the tide that will carry him far out u sea on Tuetsdiay, (November 20, 1; compelled to hold out to those peo pie who do not think for themselves a hook with a bait, on it and that halt is calculated to catch, a sucker And what ,1s the bait? Cheap light and water. Well did ithe city council know when the ordinance was introduced Tuesday night that It could not id* passed at that meeting. But then the election would be held Tuesday and after the election—well, that’! another question. The ’’ring” would be secure and the ordinance woulc. probably meet the fate that befei •Alderman ICale’s,’ resolution at the same meeting. The astute solicitor knew when hi published the article Wednesday evening that the rates promised tht people BEFORE THE ELECTION would he impossible without throw ing the light and water company lnt c bankruptcy. He knew, or ought to know, that such rates cannot be made in a city of Brunswick's size and that the enactment of isn't rates would mean confiscation. He knew that such an ordinance can have no force or effect without con trol of the light and water company by the city and If the mayor anu council were dealing fairly with the people of Brunswick why did they silence the resolution of Alderman Gale without acceptance of the prop osition of the Mutual Light and Water Company, not only to sell the plants, but to help the city of Bruns wick pay for it? The answer is too plain for anything. The election was too near at hand. With the light and water question out of the way, the only charge that Is being urged against Col. Goodyear and his ticket and that one untrue. Col. Goodyear and his ticket would sweet the field and that would be the end of the solicitor's power and “little gnat's" existence as an official of the city of Brunswick. But the thinking people, the rea soning people will not swallow such "•tuft" as that They know Col. Goodyear, they have unbounded faith to him and bis assertions and whoa ha tells the people of Brunswick that ha is not the candidate of the ligh’ nd water company, not the candi date of asr faction, man or sot of pm, 4te ooorto fi Jmoowiok art The Brunswick Mews. going to take him at his wori a despite the infamous and dirty po lit leal charges injected into th* campaign, they will elect him theli mayor by a majority so overwhelm ing as to leave no question as to what the people think of the rlngs ters and small callbrad politician now dominating the politics of this community.
