Sea-o-Rama Plans Are Started To The Citizens of Corpus Chrlstk I should like to taka this opportunity to restate my reasons and my qualifications for entering the race for mayor of Corpus Christi I have observed the great number of vacant store buildings the prevalences of delinquent home mortagages and the current number of unemployed people In Corpus Christi I feel strongly that not everything possible to alleviate these situations has been done by this present administration I believe that an increase in the efficiency of our city and a reduction of city taxes will encourage new Industry will assist in the expansion of present industry and will provide jobs for the unemployed I would set three primary goals for the city during my tenure of office 1 Lower taxes for homeowners of Corpus Chrlsti 2 Increase incentives for new industry to come to our city and for the expansion of local industry 3 To Improve the efficiency of all deportments of the city and thereby reduce overall costs
