figures favored Mr. Ryan and
Mr. Wood.
"The Home Rule Party has
kept its faith with the voters and
given an economical administra-tion'*
during the past year," he
commented. "Despite unanticipa-te()
expenditures of $9,000, the
Board kept $13,961 within its
budget for the year, as compar-ed
with $297 a year ago. The
Power Plant net income totaled
$55,288, despite an extra expen-diture
of $16,000 for oil during
eight months.
"Consequently, I do not see
how,people-can fail to vote for
Ryan and Wood." :

of the Citizens-Party said:

"Continued personal attacks
upon individuals and groups- by
any Village Board is certain to
arouse public resentment. .Mis-leading
ngures to cover up a
higher tax rate have a similar ef-fect.
I am sure that many of the
new registrants will vote for
Wallace and Hassclt, the Citi-zens

Only Suggestion to Meet Situation
After two years of efforts to find a solution to the so
called "smoke nuisance" at the Columbian Bronze Corp.

guarantee to install any apparatus that will accomplish that
end, George" A. Seaver, .the ji^c^Uve vicejpf^ident; said

Edmund C. O'Meally, who
made the "smoke nuisance" the
main issue in the campaign of
the Citizens Party to elect two?

It is Mr. O'Meally's contention
that the smoke could be con-trolMd
at a cost of "a few thou-^
sand dollars," without shutting
down the plant, which makes
propellers for the U. S. Navy,
for a "single minute." Mr. O'-
Meally has also insisted that the
Home Rule Party has failed to
do anything towards having the
"smoke nuisance" abated.
Mr. Seaver gave the- lie to this
charge whck he said:
