"I will also do all in my power to see that the dependants of the county have the best possible accommoda- tions and care in accordance with the latest scientific and humane methods. "I shall urge that all public im- provements, including the good roads program, erection of a new criminal court building and county jail, and the full development of the Forest Pre- serves, etc., be completed as rapidly as possible. . the dutv to enforce the crim- inal laws rests with the executive of - ficers of the various cities, villages | and towns, and the sheriff and state's attorney of the county, will advocate the refusal of licenses to undesirable roadhouses in unorganized territory, over which the County Board has jur- jsdiction and the making of any neces- sary appropriation to law enforcing officers to wipe out and prevent crime, and also to adequately police the For- est Preserves and highways with com- petent men of good character." Position regarding road houses: "1 certainly would approve the im- mediate revocation of the license of any road house found to be violating any law. Before granting or renewing any license, the moral character of each applicant should be established to the satisfaction of the whole board, after a thorough investigation as to the applicant's fitness has been made such as is contemplated by law. Be- canse this procedure was not followed and the present licenses issued to the holders in a group, my associates upon the board, Messrs. Miller, Pierson and Penfield from the country towns and Goodnow from the city, and myself voted against the issuance of these licenses. After licenses are issued, I believe that a close watch should be kept by the law enforcing officers to see that each road house is obeying the law."

Continued economy of the sort actuating me in my successful cam- paign for installation of labor saving devices throughout the County service. The carrying on of a campaign for ef- ficiency in every department of the service, the same to be along the lines marked out nearly three years ago by the efficiency engineers I called in and put on survey with a view to discov- ery of methods through which a greater efficiency everywhere might come into being; the reforms then in- dicated were promptly put into force, are in force today and it will be my aim to keep them 'in effect and to add to them as long as I have official standing enabling me to do so. The allocation of funds permitting of an adequate aid to the needy poor, of properly caring for the needy sick of our County hospital, for the aged, infirm and tubercular at our Oak Forest institutions, for the many hun- dreds of bereaved mothers with fam- ilies whose needs compel them to seek the bounties of our provision for Mothers' pensions; for placing depen- dent children in boarding homes (we were able to set apart $150,000 for this purpose this year). The carry- ing on of our program of popularizing the Forest Preserves by adding to their conveniences, seemliness, acces- sibility. Continuance of our fine high- way building program. Continuance of efforts towards replacing any re- maining inertia in the service with an energy as greatly vibrant as has been and is the essential spirit from the creative force of which has come the greatness of this metropolitan area embraced within the County of Cook." Road Houses: It is a plain matter of decency, multiplicity of regula- tions will not help. Immorality first, gambling second, these are what we have to be most watchful for; and, after these, other disorder repugnant to public taste.
