Sept. 11 on the proposed Reed Woodland mobile home opment, Mayor Richard Bagley told the council that of 57 residents polled 76 percent do not want mobile homes in parks; 65 percent said they would not object to a mobile home near their residences; 74 percent did not favor another mobile home park in Rich- mond; 53 percent did not favor the hiring of a city building inspector, In an informal tally Bagley noted that 52 structures, includ-wi- ll ing 11 mobile homes on city lots, had been added to the city in the past three and a half years since zoning action began. Discounting the subdivision to the south, building was almost evenly balanced between the north and south sections of town. The large majority of new struc-zon- e tures fell within the bounds of the communitys master plan, he said. The tally shows an average of 15 new structures per year in Richmond. in a related topic the council agreed to continue its present mobile home policy while con-an- d tinuing to study the situation. devel-residen- ts (Continued on Page 8) Irrigation Company Discusses Projects Richmond Irrigation pany officials accepted Comcon- gratulations and answered questions on the communitys sprinkler irrigation system at a meeting nearly-complete- d Tuesday in Richmond City Park.
