Their Delegate
Peters W ants Action
Councilman Peters, who has
served on many former councils,
opposed the proposal to wait an­
other year before starting con­
struction o f the dam.
He said
the people had been talking
water improvements for 16 years
to his knowledge, and by their
votes last November, had stated
definitely that they wanted acr
tlon from this council. Council­
man Woods had the same view,
and he ‘ was opposed to further
delay.
“ 1 am not opposed to building
the dam, but I believe we should
w ait until the other improve­
ments are tried out,” was the
argument of Councilman Thorn­
ton. ”1 don’t want people to
think that I am against thts
work but I do not believe we
are reality to build It.”
In expressing himself in a
sim ilar vein, Councilman Berg­
ner declared:
“ I think It is absolutely poor
judgment to build that dam right
now.”
Other Policies Given

the dam, which w ill bo built on
