YOU WILL DECIDE the fate of the bonds TODAY. But the councilmen you elect will serve THREE YEARS. Whether you vote for Dale’s “arterial” highway bond issue or against it, or whether you vote for the belt line or against it, the three men you can safely trust to represent YOU for three years are the men who have already proven themselves loyal to YOU. They are ERICKSON, LANE and HESKETH, the first three whose names appear on the ballot.
