Now Hint We have cheaper light wte should standardize our business section nnd Instill n vastly more pow- erfrl lighting on our avenues and streets, protection of our water supply, proceed with the park which the people havo sanctioned. Seeing lhal the money spenders have bequeathed to >y,\ a debenture debt of approximately $400,000 and au annual Interest to maintain of more than $25,000, money should be set asfdc each year lo decrease this capital debt and so curtail the terrific interest. While eftudylng the Interests of the ratepayers nt all times, if I am still favored with a renewal of your support and confidence I am willing to support any cause or scheme which speltB progress and prosperity for Cranbrook. I wish to put this quest ion before the ratepayers. Why Is It that Alderman Batmen! and myself have earned such pronounced opposition and bitter criticism? Is It not because we probed Into the Internal affairs In relation to civic administration and discovered a rotten state of affairs nnd insisted that honesty and Justice should prevail? We have not backed up one Inch from tbe position we took nt the early period of 129., council nnd this Is where wo stand today. Yours faithfully Thomas H.
