Specializing In ALL GOOD THINGS TO EAT COKE CANDLER, Chairman of The Board of County Commissioners of Buncombe County, is a Candidate for Renomination in the May 31st Democratic Primary. COKE CANDLER STANDS FOR HONEST, SOUND, PROGRESSIVE COUNTY GOVERNMENT AND RE LIES UPON HIS OWN JUDGMENT AS TO WHAT IS FOR THE REST INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE, Every citizen's needs are a prime concern with Coke Can dler, hu! no man is powerful enough to force him to moke a decision which to him is not right. LEST VVE FORGET, LET US REVIEW THE RECORD OF HIS ADMINISTRATION FROM 1946 TO 1958. 1. The condemned, delapidated County Home was quickly replaced by a modern, clean, fireproof institution. 2. The appropriation of county revenue for City and County school operation and capital outlay needs was increased from $299,885 in 1946-47 to $1,123,140 in 1957 58, the tax rate increase having been submitted to the voters and approved by majority vote. 3. Through cooperation with the Citizens Committee for Better Schools, the Buncombe County school building program was carried out so that in 1951 Buncombe County received an All-American Award from Look Magazine for advancement in educa tion, and in 1956 Dr. Carroll, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, stated that Buncombe County was leading the State in the fight for better schools. 4. Prosecuted for District water users a court action in the Superior and Supreme Courts against the City of Asheville in which the Sullivan Act was declared con stitutional. Rural water rates were brought back in line with City rates and near ly $100,000 overcharge was returned to District water users. 5. The Buncombe County Receiving Home was established and placed in operation under the supervision of the Judge of the Domestic Relations Court so that juven ile offenders could be removed from the county jail. Dr. Ellen Winston, State Wel fare Commissioner, referred to the Buncombe County Receiving Home as the best institution of its kind in the State. 6. To secure public confidence and election integrity, voting machines were installed in all precincts after the approval of the expenditure by the voters. 7. The County Courthouse has been repainted and placed in first-class condition. 8. After the City of Asheville abolished its health department in 1954, the County Health Department was reorganized and strengthened so that in 1955 it received from the State Board of Health the only merit award granted in the State for out standing public health programs and services. 9. By the use of rabies clinics, dog wardens and the animal shelter, Buncombe has had no known rabies case in the last eight years and damage to livestock by stray dogs has been greatly reduced. 10. Non-tax revenue has been used to assist prospective new industries in securing water and sewer service to the end that many fine new plants have moved to Bun combe County during recent years. 11. Established a program and cooperated with the local communities in rural fire protection. 12. Cooperated with L. E. Brown, Sheriff of Buncombe County, in establishing the Junior Deputy and Juniorette program as a means of combating juvenile delin quency. This program has attracted national attention.
