Ft Thomas is to have a red hot city election this fall. Tax notices are in the hands of the people and when tax notices show increased, the people in power may look out. Mayor W H D is so thoroughly disgusted with the way things have been going in the Ft Thomas Council, he has not found it necessary to attend any of the meetings since June. The mayor was a prime factor in the development of Ft Thomas as the prize residential district of this section and he has resented the politics which has developed of late years.
