Dear editor,
On Nov. 5, the residents of Humboldt will be given an opportunity to vote on a half-cent sales tax. The money raised from this will be used to improve the streets. Every resident that has driven on Humboldts streets knows that this is a very needed project.
Companies, businesses, organizations, committees and individuals have given their time and money to revitalize and beautify our town. It is now time to expand this work by improving our streets.
Our streets are like interlacing ribbons around the city square. It is now our chance to replace these old, worn out ribbons with nice, new smooth ribbons. The city administrator, mayor, council members and employees have spent many hours in developing a plan to improve every street at the most economical cost. This plan can only be accomplished if the citizens of Humboldt are in favor of the half-cent sales tax.
This is your opportunity to be a part of revitalizing and beautifying Humboldt. This project will require more people than any of the work done so far. Each and everyone of you can now become an important part of what is going on in our great city.
Lets give a pat on the back to everyone that has been working for years to improve Humboldt, and lets now do our part to stand alongside of them by voting YES for the half-cent sales tax. I appreciate each of you for standing up and doing your part toward improving the streets of Humboldt. Cheers to each one of you, we will soon have new and smooth streets in front of every home.
Please get out and vote YES for the half-cent sales tax.
Douglas Leonard,
Humboldt, Kan.
