When the incorporation committee suggested and
promised to offer a slate of councilmen for the City of
Brookings, it completed its duty to the citizens of the
city, but this act was not intended to prevent others
from filing for positions on the council.
Several petitions are, or soon will be, being circulated
to have more names to submit to the voters. 1 hat, as
the Pilot sees it, is a healthy sign, and should be en
couraged. This act will not be construed by the commit
tec as disapproval of the effort put forth by the com
mittee.
BUILDING PROGRAM TREMENDOUS
A trip, in any direction, about the area convinces one
of die tremendous building program under way here.
The sights you sec simply amazes you of the growth and
beginning of greater growth of this community. It is
impossible to vision what the next six months or year
will bring to the vicinity.

materials on hand to meet the demand.

By Dewey
Interest in the forthcoming
city election gratifies me tp no
end for it is the healthiest sign in
my way of thinking. Differences
of opinions are always good,
when these differences are within
reason. This interest points to
me that out of the election will
come a council which will be a
credit to any town, for it will not
be of one single opinion.
A council, to be worthy of the
name, should not always agree
on all points. No man is that in
telligent where he is not helped
by suggestions. Yet, on the other
hand, it will be bad to get on the
council five men who would al
ways be at odds on most ques
tions which wil confront the city
LL
gov*ernment.
The job which faces the first
council will be tremendous. Re
gardless of what they do, some
one will be out with opposition,
out to stir up dissent among the
citizens. There should be on the
part of the citizens, an under
standing of the problems which
face the council, and a willing
ness to assist.
Think oft the many demands
which will be made upon the new
council. The first year, not too
much can be expected for lack of
funds. There can be but a mini
mum of street work, or any like
improvements. For conveniences,
little may be expected until next
year, and then only so far as the
voters are willing to pay.
However, there will be many
ordinances to enact, such as zon
ing, police, parking, health, and
such. This is a must for the first
council, because it was for these
that ^incorporation was voted.
There must also be traffic ordi-\
nances regulating speed, and re-'
stricted tones as near schools.\
