Other parties have in- cluded the socialist labor, the pro- gressive, and the farmer-labor at dif- ferent times, so that there have gen- erally been five parties with places on the ballot.

The city to pay me $10 a month for each and every city car kept at the municipal garage which is $1,920 a year. I would be willing to do the repair work on all city cars for a flate rate of 70 cents an hour if agreeable to the . different boards; also look after the oil and gas. “At the present time, the city is paying $15 a month per car which equals $2,800 for 16 cars. My plan at $160 per month equals $1,920 and It would mean a saving of $960 per year on storage alone. On repair work, the city would be saving $50 to $75 each month and would figure $900 saved annually on repair work. You will see that the city would re- ceive an income of 82,400 a year on rent which is now being paid out for help and would also save $960 a year on storage and $900 a year on repair work, equalling $1,860 saved in a year. | “Trusting that you will give the| above proposition due consideration, I beg to remain, Very truly yours, | ALEX BEATTY, | Former City Mechanle. P. 8. Ot course, in the considera- tion of the above proposition, I wish to have it understood that I would have the right to do any outside work, other than city work which might be given me. G. A.
