OPEN LETTER
TO: CITIZENS OF T h ORO V ALL EY TOWNSHIP AREA
FROM: COhY ITTEE FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT AT RSA r ONABLE COST
August 14th, 1974 is election day. This is your opportunity, once and
for all, to re 'ect the small power hungry clique which has imposed an un-
�relcor�e, �.rrat al and expensive Incorporated township upon an unwilling and
diverse group of communities. The majority of the citizens in these commun-
ities - citizens who not only question the motives of that clique but also
the competence of its members to lead = would prefer to be left alone and
object-t6 bankrolling their mistake. (Best estimates indicate that the expense
of running the town will exceed income by $38,000.00 the first year of operations
even with the new business priviledge tax that has been imposed on the country
club and construction industry.)
As of this writing, this committee has collected 386 signatures on the
petition for disincorporation - a clear majority but not two-thirds of the
registered voters. 4e now have an accurate count of registered voters in the
area (612) and know that we need only 22 more signatures to satisfy the
2/3s requirement for disincorporation. de will try to obtain these and file
the petition prior to the election to save that expense. However, our sup porters
must understand that, at this point, each additional signature is more difficult
to obtain than the last and we may not have the required number prior to the
election. For that reason, it is essential that we, the majority, have a good
showing at the polls. If we win control of the Town Council, the clique will
not have the,po�er it seeks and many neutrals and several pro-incorporators
have indicated that, in this event, they will sign the petition for disincorporation.
It would seem then, that if we win the election, the disincorporation issue will
be settled.
The Committee for Good Government at Reasonable Cost endorses the following
candidates;
Robert E. Hanson
Paul J. Sherrick
Dorothy V. Montgomery
Orville N. Shields
Virgil B. Brandon
These are disincorporation candidates. A vote for them is a vote for fiscal
sanity, a vote for a reduction in the cost of government and a vote for a return
to the reasonably competent administration of public services.
REMEMBER, 14 August, 1974 at C. L. 0. High School between the hours of
6:00 A. M. and 7:00 P. M. Vote to protect yourselves , your property and your
pocketbook.
