“removed from a local business,” and
said he was unsure how many signa-
tures were on that petition before it
was taken.
Clifton Mayor Truman Blum told
the crowd that nine citations were is-
sued, and the dog has been quaran-
tined at a local veterinary clinic.. Thf*. til that Clifton Veterans of Foreign Wars
crowd argued with the mayor, say- * Post #8553 has agreed to keep its

modate the crowds. The post will also
cook hamburgers and serve soft drinks
for a nominal fee.
“All gate proceeds go toward Clifton
student scholarships that FreedomFest
awards each year,” said Rangel in her
letter.
Dissatisfaction With City Hall
Re-Roof Job
Mayor Blum and Council members
expressed displeasure with roofing con-
tractor Pete Weisenberger, contracted
to put a new steel roof on City Hall.
Weisenberger was supposed to start the
job several weeks ago, but has only re-
cently begun work.
“He wanted an advance payment for
labor on the job. We told him we
couldn’t do that,” said Mayor Blum.
The mayor said that the City did ar-
range to pay vendors for steel delivered
to the job site.
“He showed up with one helper, and
worked maybe one day. He asked to be
on tonight’s agenda, but he’s not here,
and I’m not sure of his intentions,”
Blum said.
“Pete’s problem is the same as any
other small business, cash flow,” said
Turner.
“Small business or not, he seems to
be past his limitations,” added Fry.
The Council decided to allow Mayor
Blum to speak with Weisenberger. If the
contractor cannot or will not commit
to finishing the job in a timely manner,
the Council gave Blum the power to
revoke the contract. The measure
passed with Turner voting against.

“We’re not going to try the case
here tonight. We can’t. I can assure
you we’re enforcing the law as best
we can in this case,” Blum said.
Several persons in the audience
expressed concern that local law en-
forcement officials were not doing
enough to control the loose animal
population in the city.
“You probably don’t know that
we’ve had to kill 21 dogs this year
alone. We had to put down nine just
last molth, and have had to put down
four already this month,” the mayor
answered.
“How can you keep letting this lady
(Sadler) get away with letting her
dogs run loose?” asked a citizen.
“The lady has been issued 15 cita-
tions with fines well over $1,000. I
don’t think she’s getting away with
anything,” Mayor Blum replied.
Most of the citizens agreed that
there is a problem with loose animals
throughout the city, but are particu-
larly concerned about the Rottweiler
allegedly involved in the attack.
“What if that lady had been a child?
We’d have a disfigured child, or
worse, a dead child. Is that what
you’re waiting for?” one woman
asked.
Alderman Joe Fry agreed that there
is a problem in general, and in this
specific case.
“I want to see this dog either put
up or put down,” Fry said.
The council agreed to monitor the
case closely, and advised the citizens
to contact Municipal Court Judge
Alvin James concerning specific legal
remedies in the case.
Street Dance Approved
The Council gave its unanimous ap-
proval for the FreedomFest committee
to hold a street dance in downtown Clif-
ton. The dance will follow the annual
fireworks show and closes the day-long
festivities on Saturday, June 29.
The 200 block of North Avenue D will
be closed that evening to vehicular traf-
fic to hold the dance. The dance will be
held from 8 p.m. to 12 midnight.
“We petitioned all the property own-
ers in die block. One abstained, and one
said no,” said E.J. Belvin.
Belvin noted that Police Chief Jim
Vanderhoof was consulted in regard to
security. Vanderhoof is in favor of the
street dance, and sees no problem with
security, according to Belvin.
Mayor Pro Tem Ron Turner, owner
of Clifton Auto Supply, a business lo-
cated in the affected block, noted that
he abstained from supporting or oppos-
ing the dance through the petitions.
“Not signing it is not a signal that Tm
against it. 1 just knew we’d be voting
on it during the meeting and I thought
that might cause a conflirt," Turner told
the Council.
