City COUNCIL
Meeting of Dec. 1,
Our town council must con
sider such a wide variety of
subjects relating to the welfare
o f Estacada citizens that oft-
times its monthly meetings last
far into the wee hours o f the
morning. Last Thursday’s meet
ing was a bit shorter than usual
but still nuite comprehensive.
Subjects for discussion ranged
from finances to streets, to the
water supply, to fire depart
ment, to polic", to youth recre
ation, to liquor licenses, to pro
perty, to zoning, to sewers, and
back again to finances. As one
councilman said, “ What is
wrong with our town is that
w e haven't got enough money
to run it on.” So it seemed that
this underlying factor colored
many
phases of Thursday
nigiit's meeting. There are so
many pressing needs for our
town for Which money is re
quired that these conscientious j
councilmen must surely ac
quire a few grey hairs at each
meeting.
A
comment from
Dave Horner expressed the at
titude of most o f them: “ As a
councilman you have to forget
you’re a business-man and con
sider every question in the
light of the best interests of
the community as a whole.”
