OLD-TIME RESIDENT
AFTER SECOND TERM
Present County Assessor Seeking
Renomination; Willing To Let
Voters Decide
The office of county assessor is
one of the most important in the
county government. The serious-
ness of his duties have t>een realized
by L. L. McCornb, present incum-
bent, who is a democratic candidate
for renomination to that office.
"Proper assessments on all real
estate and personal property is a
matter for the voters to decide.
*'I feel that if Muring the past term
of office my record shows I have
been faithful to the people in my
public trust, that I should be re-
turned lor a second term."
McComb is one of the old-time
l'c ?idcnt< in Cleveland county and
ha-, always been actively interested
hi good government.
In addition to ti is duties as county
assessor he is at present county reg-
istrar, and seeing that everybody is
qualified a> a voter has been one of
l is principal worries.

She is a democrat.
t nder her supervision county
funds have been carefully handled

intimately with the county treasur-
er's office.
She has nothing to do with tax
assessments, but her job is to see
that it is collected
And it's a Injrd task to collect
money these days!
Popular atnotur those who are her
debtors. Miss Briggs has found it
no handicap in public office to be a
woman. In fact, she has done a bet
ter job than most men could do, it
has been said.
The treasurer's office is always
one of the busiest of the county de
parunents. It is a technical duty, I
handling the finances oi a large and ■
prosperous county—'>ut she does it!
She is seeking a second term.
