Galloway Seen as Best Choice for Ward One Council Seat
Estherville voters are urged to reelect Dr. W P Galloway to the city council from the First ward. Supporters praise his accounting record, street naming, curfew and sidewalk ordinances, and policy on the electric light and water plant. They contend municipal control should continue and credit his coal contract savings as proof of his public service. The appeal cites trustworthiness and independence, endorsed by current mayor Geo H Woodhouse and ex-councilman Frank U H Rhodes.
