later Mr Larsen said Mayor George K Fadel reported reported reported re re- re- re ported on a meeting he had with Kippen brothers who graze sheep on the mountains near the city water shed east of ful Last summer their sheep got into the city's land eating much of the cover When a runoff runoff runoff run run- off occurs the water is filled with debris The mayor said it itis itis itis is possible the city owns owns enough property in the water-shed water to keep the sheep away from the area where the harm is done To find out for sure the land will have to be surveyed and checked If there is not enough land the Kippen brothers indicated that they might be willing to trade or lease other land from the city which would put the sheep away from the water Representatives Representatives

schedules and activities of the police force since the addition of another full time deputy City Manager lanager Doyle Miller 1 pointed out it is much better to have the extra help because before before be be- fore when the marshal marsha or a deputy ty was out on a call and another urgent call came came in there was no noone noone noone one to send out and it might be some time before he hel could answer answer answer an an- the call However there should not be so much help that members of the department have little to do he said The police department should not be a revenue revenue rev rev- producing unit but that is isan isan an indication of the work being done Continued on page Eight V City Council Continued from page One The police department t will probably remain as it is at

city cemetery was introduced by Charles Trump He said many cities that changed to all flat stones are now changing back Some allow one stone but the stone must be placed on a concrete concrete concrete con con- crete base that would extend at least eight inches out from the stone to facilitate cutting of the grass This would still make the cutting more difficult and require require require re re- re- re quire more time however the city manager pointed out And increased time means increased costs The matter was left for further consideration Mr Trump also suggested that cement vaults be made mandi- mandi I I tory in the cemetery to decrease the amount of settling At present present present pres pres- ent dirt must be hauled in several several several sev sev- eral times to fill the area An alternative would be to raise the price of the grave to cover the additional costs he said Bids for some some new hose for forthe forthe forthe the fire department were opened opened open
