Gregory said scores and scores of citizens in his own county, as well as other counties, have writ ten or phoned *hiin to fight the soft drink tax. “The opposition isn’t coming from the bottlers so much as from just ordinary citizens," said Greg ory. “The- rank and file of *Jlle people are opposed to It and they can count on my help to fight and held kill the proposal.” the photographer as he put a neat finish to an . intricate’ step.
