Stroth, Sanford In Verbal Flurry

Ericson Firing, Proposed Payroll Tax Brought Up Mayor Samuel A. Stroth said last night his Progres-

sive Party stands for honesty and integrity in govern-ment but his opponent. Carl F. Sanford charged the Stroth regime with failing to live up to its 1953 campaign promises. *

Mr, Sanford, the Greater James-town Party mayoralty candidate and Mayor Stroth. seeking his sixth term in City Hall, traded ver-bal flurries at a meeting in Lincoln Junior High School, arranged by the non-partisan League of Women Voters.

Afterward both answered ques-tions from the audience of about 125 put to them by Chautauqua County Judge Hugh V. N. Bodine, who served- as moderator.

It was in response to one of these questions, that Mr. Sanford rii.H losed he planned to push State-sanction of a payroll tax as a means of increasing city revenue without adding to the burden of the property owner.

The May 16 firing of former Po-lice Chief Leroy H. Ericson by a 7 to 4 vote of Mayor Stroth's Pro-

ve Party-dominated Council also was cited by Mr. Sanford a» an example where Progressive Party deeds did not measure up to Ha 1933 party aims.

This was the year that Mr, San-ford. then Council president, first ran against Mayor Stroth. He was defeated by about 450 votes.

Comment on Airport _ Both made comments on the Jamestown Municipal Airport, Mayor Stroth in his prepared 10-minute talk ar.d Mr. Sanford in re-sponse to a question.

The airport has made news dur-ing the past year, chiefly because of disputes between Mrs. Lucilc M. Wright. Airport Commission chiir-mari; and Mayor Samuel A. Stroth and other members of Council, in-cluding Greater Jamestown Party Councilman William H. Price.

In his talk. Mayor Stroth said the Progressive Party is proud of the port but realizes it needs im-provements and resents it being termed a "row pasture."

Just last week. Mrs. Wright an-nounced that Allegheny Airlines was going to cancel four of its 12 daily flights serving Jamestown bearuse the runway wasn't long enough to handle a larger type plane. She said loss of the flights bore out a predictfon that the air-port would become a "cow pas-ture** if improvements did not

ago?" Mr. Sanford asked.. words, just words."'

Parking Brought I'p Mr. Sanford said the Progressive

Party in 1953 advocated a parking survey but, he said, it was not un-til three weeks ago "on the eve" of election that such a survey was in-troduced "without bothering to ad-vertise for bids."

He said the Progressive Party in 1953 had also declared its belief in the competitive system of award-ing contracts to the lowest bidder.

"At what public meeting was it for decided to discard a $7,500 offer

I for the survey*., .and instead jaward a $10,000 contract. . ." he tasked. A Pittsburgh. Pa., traffic ! engineer has made the $7,500 of-fer,

Mr. Sanford said this was not only a violation of the Progressive Party's pledge on contract awards but also on its statement of belief that the "people are entitled to know the. City's business" both made in the 1953 campaign.

On alleged secrecy in govern-ment. Mr. Sanford said that when he was a minority member of the

i Stroth Council it was the practice

He said he had sought uasuc-cessfully to do away with the prac-tice. It was finally given up only when the Greater Jamestown Par-ty Mayor Stanley A. Weeks took of-fice in 1951.

Hearing Promised In the current campaign, Mr.

Sanford has pledged to open budg-et sessions to the press and hold a public hearing before its adoption.

Mr. Sanford said the Progressive Party in 1953 promises honesty and integrity in dealing with city employes.

"Would my opponent say he was using, honesty and integrity in dis-missing the Chief of Police (Mr. Ericson>," Mr. Sanford asked. "Is not the man who served his City for 30 years entitled to be faced by his accusers and informed of the reason for his discharge?"

He also charged that Depart-ment of Public Works employes were not given an opportunity to meet with Council to talk over

at Hotel Jamestown when 36 of the participating 4-H Club memb-ers were guests of the club and made their presentation of dressed birds to their sponsor.

In the spring one or two Rotar-ians sponsor a selected 4-H Club member and provide him with 25 or 50 chicks, depending on tho! number of sponsors, and each fall 4-H"ers return two dressed birds1 for each 25 chicks received. Jud -ging was by Edward Schuyler and Carl Franzen. Curtis W. Haug and J Leonard Magnuson were sponsors j of the trophy winner.

A trophy also was given to 1954! winner. Marianne Thum, Sinclair-ville. who, due to an oversight, did not receive her award last year. . .

First cash prize of $5 went to Larry Erb, Panama; second prize,

Jamestown. Cash prizes of $1 each went to Pat Covey, Niobe: Sheila Longhouse, Panama; Viola Hazzard, Bemus Point; and Sus-an Johnson. All prize winners were awarded blue ribbons.

I who sketched his early days with I | the Farm Bureau in New York j State and related how he organ-1 I ized the first Home Bureau in the j United States. He also detailed or-j ganization of project groups under Farm Bureau supervision before! 4-H Clubs were begun.

Joseph Matejka. i Chautauua County 4-H Club agent! stressed the value of working with I youth in projects such as the one. sponsored by Rotary and called | attention to National Rural-Urban j Week currently underway.

C of C Committee Wants Tax for Roads

A Statement recommending ap-proval of Amendment No.l to the New York State Constitution which authorizes *a $750,000,000 highway bond issue has been iss-jed by the State Governmental Affairs Com-mittee of Jamestown Area Cham-ber of Commerce.

The committee, under chairman Daniel A. Isaacson, recommended acceptance of the amendment in the interests of obtaining immedi-ate highway construction and im-provement throughout the state without the possibility of unneces-sary or further delay.

It also recommended the Cham-ber adopt a program under which present and futura state legislat-ures are requested to demonstrate their good faith in this highway program by keeping the 1955 pledges for legislative earmarking of proposed gas and diesel oil tax increases for highway improve-ment exclusively. A further recom-mendation was that citizens of th-state be given opportunity to ex-press themselves by voting upon a proposed amendment to the state constitution providing for constitu-tional earmarking of all highway-U S T taxes.

Copies of the recommendations will be sent to all candidates for positions of assemblyman and sen-ator representing the people of Chautauqua County at Albany.

It is expected the committee will met again soon to consider other state governmental items including a proposal for increased corporate franchise taxes expected to before the 1956 legislature. Efforts will be T.'̂ de to collect data con-cerning the tax from local affect-ed industries before any recom-

Imendations are made.

Asked what plans he had for air-port' improvement, Mr. Sanford said "We must recognize the ilr-port as a major asset of James-town and see that it keeps abreast of the times..."*

Tort Said County Benefit He said the North Main Street

the only commercial air-port in the county, benefitting ev-eryone "in the county as well as Jamestown.

Mr. Sanford said he felt the bur-den of its upkeep should be shared by the county.

Mayor Stroth in his talk again defended the $10,000 parking sur-vey, defeated by Council on Oct. 3 by the four votes of the Greater J a n est vn Party and said his par-ly would "continue to advocate a needed long range parking pro-' gram based on a thorough study by qualified men . . . "

He said he felt the planned ma-jor overall of Jamestown's sewage and disposal system should be paid for hy those" benefitting by "an

'able sewer tax." Engineers, earlier this year, esti-

mated the total cost at more than $2,000,000. most of it to be raised by 'bonds.

He warned voters to "heware of any candidate who .seeks to appeal to special interests in an effort to gain their support . . . such a

ndidate is committed to politi-M-vit-e for the special few—

^•nemment according to poll ti-ll expediency in order to keep

the support of the selfish groups " Later asked by an audience

question why he imputed "special •rest*' to the opposition party at

n times. Mayor Stroth said the Progressive Party stands for treating "all alike" and wants to be independent of any group. Then referring to the card on which the

was written, he added: "I know what they mean by

ii interests"...! don't think I

Mr. Sanford also recalled the Progressive Party in 1953 had said it believed a study should be made on annexation by Jamestown of surrounding towns.

"Now." he said, "has anyone in this audience heard anything of this study since this promise was made two years ago . . . "
