CARLSON, SAMUEL A.—Was born in Jamestown October 26th, 1868. He served two 
terms on the Common Council, was Commissioner of Public Works for ten years, 
was elected Mayor in 1908 and is now serving his seventh term in that office. 
His administration has seen the municipal ownership of the water plant, light 
plant, city hospital, and public market. His advocacy of municipal ownership 
of public utilities has attracted wide attention and secured a large amount of 
advertising for Jamestown. His appointees as Mayor have been selected largely 
without reference to political affiliations and he has shown wisdom in his 
selections. Mr. Carlson is Independent in politics and advocates social and 
civic welfare measures and stands for open discussion of all questions 
affecting the public good. Formerly engaged in the manufacturing business, he 
is now president of the Birmingham Motors co. He is a Mason and member of 
other fraternal orders. His office is located in City Hall.
