The lli-ipnei' GaHle-Times. Ileppmr. Orcein. Thursday. January 28, !K0 SKVKN Irrigon petition for primary ballot to seek election of mayor f Hv Frances Rose Wilson A proposal that Irrigon's mayor be elected by the people is contained in a pending charter amendment lhat may be placed on the ballot in May. A letter of intent directed to Irrigon 'residents was posted in business places and is being circulated by former mayor Chester Wilson, for the ques tion to be placed before the voters in the primary election. According to Wilson, the informational letter is de signed to alert Irrigon resi dents that petitions will be circulated and placed in businesses for signatures to present to the council in the February meeting. The charter change pro posed is that the mayor be' elected at the general election to serve in the office for a four-year term. The charter presently pro vides that the counil elect a mayor in January each year for the following year from among its members. It also provides that "he be elected by a majority vote of the entire council" which, according to Wilson has for the early years of charter rule been interpreted to mean that the entire council was required to be present at this mavoral election. Wilson admitted the possibi lity of this mayoral election being delayed to a later month because of absenteeism, as actually has happened, but feels it has created no problem in that the mayor in office did not relinquish his authority until his successor was elected and qualified. This policy has allowed each council member to know personally what has occurred and have his ballot counted toward the new mayor. It also has eliminated any possibility, he said, of an absentee member being railroaded into an office he neither wanted nor had sufficient time to adquately perform. Wilson believes that a candi date selected by a public ballot for the office of mavor would have a greater interest in the dutues than a person chosen from the council mem bership. A mayor elected by the public would have a four-year span to institute an administrative program. Having been a councilman during the formative years of the city, Wilson has served as mayor and feels that the charter was adequate but that a change at this time will enrroct a situation that has become an annual dilemma for the council. Also being considered for inclusion in the petition is the number required for a quor um. The number now is three and by increasing the govern ing body to seven (instead of six), it is proposed that the requirement for a quorum be changed to four. ail vzrz'i vw Beautiful Ha 11 APW for brightening up any room bse.

Spokane, who were tour ing Hawaii when the recent storm hit the Islands. The students were touring in a van when the high winds and rain struck. At times they had to drive through two feet of water with trees falling all around them. When Tammy called her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Rock, she told them it was quite a frightening experience: The class left Spokane Jan. 3 and will return Feb. 3.
