; this next Tuesday. Mayor
Robert Drake is unopposed in
his last bid for mayor position.

for three positions on the
council. All three positions are
two year terms, as is the
mayor's spot.
Drake, who has been a
councilman six years and
mayor of lone for two, two
year terms, has lived in the
lone area all his life.
Drake would like to see the
sewer system proposed by the
city, get underway and com
pleted. 'That's the only rea
son I'm running again," he
said.
Drake told the Gazette
Times that if it werent for
the sewer system, my name
wouldn't be on it (ballot)." He
said he has told citizens of
lone to "start looking for
somebody else for next time."
Drake is enthusiastic about
the improvements slated by
the city for their water and
sewer systems. The improve
ments are still in the study
stages. Engineers were sup
posed to present plans for the
improvements to the council
this month.
But, studies are not yet
completed. Drake said by the
first of the year, the city will
know "one way or the other."
Although he advocates the
necessity of the project, he
said that if the cost is "too
high, I won't accept it." He
said the lone citizens would
have to accept it. If they do, he
said, they know it "will put
themselves in hock."
The council candidates are
of a wide array. Three women
and two men vie for the three
spots. Two of the candidates
are incumbents.
Incumbents Cleo Childera
and Dorothy Stefan! are joined
by Nancy Leavitt, Linda
LaRue and Gene Lancaster.

Gene Landcaster
Siefanl has served a three
year term, filling a vacancy
after one year of a four year
term earlier. She has lived in
the lone area all her life.
"I'm interested in my town
and its affairs," Stefani said,
"I want to help if possible."
Stefani cited the major
concern as the water supply
and sewer system. She also
said she is concerned with the
"problems that all towns
face." .
Stefani said she wants to
"serve" on the council and
said that when you live in the
town and help as on the
council, "you benefit."
She said she enjoyed being
"involved in these things"
(water and sewer system) and
wanted to stay "on it while it's
still going on." Stefani said
she was right in the middle of
its development and "knows
what's going on."
Cleo Childers has served one
year on the council and has
lived in the lone area 15 years.
Childers said he simply
wants to "serve" lone and
wants to help ramrod the
completion of a sewer and
water system.
"As soon as lone gets those
things done," Childers said,
"there are a lot of other
smaller things to be done."
Childers is the incumbent
, along with Stefani.
Linda LaRue has been a
resident of lone for five years
and seeks her first election to
a city seat.
LaRue said she was inter
ested in community affairs
and felt the city "needed
somebody" to run. She had
little criticism of the present
council and tha way the city
has been run.

Gene Lancaster, who Tues
day didn't realize his name
was still on the ballot, was
apprehensive about being
elected.
"If I get it (elected), I'll try
to do the best I can. But,"
Lancaster said, "if I'm de

Tuesday that he felt the other
candidates were qualified and
that he thought he had a
"chance to get out."
As of Tuesday afternoon, his
name was on the official ballot
of lone.
Lancaster still advocates
growth in the area. "If the
sewer and water system go,"
Lancaster said, "lone can
grow in population and busi
ness." Lancaster also noted that
more law enforcement was
needed in lone.
He said he would keep
"trying to go along, build
whatever is necessary for
anyway to better the town."

system. She said that she
wanted to "learn more about
the city government" and
would like to "try" and help
the council. j
She said she liked the way
things had been run since she
has lived in lone. LaRue said
she had three children and
wanted to have a "good place
to raise them."
"I'd like to get more in
