1. S. Smith is
Candidate for
City Commission
City Commissioner J. S.
Smith this week authorized
the Monitor to announce his
candidacy for re-election. His
statement to the voters of the
city follows:
I am again asking the people
of Mineola to support me in
my campaign for City Com-
misisoner. I will continue to
help make Mineola a City of
Opportunities. The present City
Commission planned a post
war improvement program for
Mineola during the war. The
plans call for improvements to
our streets, water and sewer-
age systems and many other
projects. We hope to give the
public a workable plan in the
near future.
The records will show that
I have always strived to im-
prove the many departments
under our jurisdiction. We have
a police force equal to any
city the size of Mineola. Our
street and water departments
have constantly improved in
both men and machinery. The
present city commission and
City of Mineola is fortunate
in having a competent City Sec-
retary. The records are open
for inspection. Our fire depart-
ment, under the leadership of
Chief Lott speaks for itself. We
should spare no expense for its
continued progress. The efforts
of any city commission are re-
flected in the work of its many
departments. Our efforts have
been rewarded.
I have always sought the
counsel and advice of reliable
citizens on all questions of im-
portance concerning our city.
If elected again I will con-
tinue to do so.
Thanks to all Mineola for
your past, present and future
cooperation.
Very truly yours,
J. S. SMITH

The national income... the value of
manufactured articles ... retail sales ...
income from transportation ... ALL are
in direct proportion to FARM INCOME.
Greater farm income invariably results
when electric service is available to pro-
vide greater and more efficient produc-
tion.
The area served by Southwestern is
primarily agricultural. The key to its
prosperity lies in the farms. As the farmer
prospers, so prospers every business and
every community.
Therefore, Southwestern Gas and Elec-
tric Company has a very vital interest in
every sound program designed to bring
electricity to more farms within its area.
Southwestern Gas and Electric Com-
pany, and other business-managed light
and power companies, have been engaged
in rural electrification for over 25 years.
These companies now serye 1,850,000
farms. This is about two-thirds of all
electrified farms in the United States. In
addition, these companies serve more than
4,000,000 other rural customers outside
incorporated towns.
Southwestern will continue to serve
more and more farms ... and Southwest-
ern will continue to cooperate on a fair
and friendly basis with all REA coopera-
tives in their program to serve more
farms with electricity. The Company
ample capacity of electric power
transmission lines to provide all cooj
tives within its area with low-cost,
cient service.
We pledge our best efforts to
together with farmers and their cooj
tives during 1946 as we have in
so that more electricity may
available to more people at the
to the farmer and to the Ameri<
payer.
