CLIFTON - The banks of the
Boeque River were lined with specta-
tors Saturday afternoon, as hundreds
dotted the shore to watch Clifton's
first-ever “yatch” race.
Colorful and ingenious “yatches”
made their way down the river, as did
their skippers, in search of being first
to cross the finish line.
Unfortunately, the water level in
the river had dropped somewhat dur-
ing the past couple of weeks due to a
dry spell, which forced some entries
to do more carrying than floating, but
judging from the smiles on the contes-
tants, the event was a huge success.
Winning the business clam was the
entry by Texas-New Mexico Power
Company, which completed the float
in 19:01.00. Its crew were Craig Hoff-
man, Taylor Anderson, and Ralph
Wheeler. Tim Moreen won the “wild
and cragy” clam in 18:40.60, while the
entry by Billie Eary and Zachary got
first billing in the “mid-life crisis”
class, in 18:42.52.
The Roman togas entry got the prise
for originality, while the airplane en-
try by Tim Talley of Clifton Aero got
the most oohs and aahs.

WALNUT SPRINGS - Voters are
expected to chooee a mayor and one
Council member at a special
municipal election Saturday, Aug. 10.
Former Mayor John McDowell a~>d
former Councilman Max Doss
resigned June 12.
The Council had originally planned
to name Harvey A. Sabi lion to the va-
cant Council post June 27, but mem-
bers decided instead to hold an
election. Sabillon had been the first
runnerup among Council candidates
in the May 4 city election.
Steve Robinson, recently appointed
as water superintendent, informed
the Council that five out of 10 items
cited by the Texas Department of
Health in a report on the city’s water
supply had been corrected. The re-
maining five will be worked on,
' Robinson advised Council members.
A community service work pro-
gram, to be coordinated with the office
of Justice of the Peace Bennett Mor-
row, was approved by the Council.
Under the plan, citizens who lack
financial resources to pay traffic fines
may instead perform maintenance or
other duties for the city.
Councilman Ed Coffee will direct
the program. Assisting him will be
Mayor Pro Tem Karen Whitehead
and Water Superintendent Robinson.
The Council unanimously named
Elaine Hamm temporary city secre-
tary June 20 at what the appointee
described as an “urgent public neces-
sity” meeting. The session was called
"to maintain the city’s ability to con-
duct city business and functions,” she
explained.
Councilman L.C. Hill’s motion to
appoint Hamm was seconded by
Councilman Greg D. Morrow. Hamm
was secretary to the electrical su-
perintendent at the Comanche Park
nuclear power plant at Glen Rose.
Hamm pointed out that her appoint-
ment was a temporary one, since City
Secretary Nancy Jackson’s employ-
ment had not been terminated.
Hamm confirmed that she had been
told that Jackson had been ill and has
been recuperating at her mother's
home in Fort Worth, following sur-
gery, although Hamm said that she
had not heard from Jackson.
The Council had placed Jackson in
the contract labor category June 8.
Her work week and pay were reduced
to 30 houre a week at $6 an hour. Ad-
ditional compensation was to be paid
Jackson for attending Council meet-
ings or water system training
sessions.
City Hall office hours were trimmed
to 9 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1 to 4
p.m. Mondays through Thursdays,
and from 9 a m. to 12 noon and from
2 to 5 p.m. Fridays.
At the same meeting, former Police
Chief Arnold Hall, Municipal Judge
David L. Keller, and James (Shorty)
Chappell, city maintenance, were sus-
pended until city finances permitted
reconsideration of funding their posi-
tions. The Boeque County Sheriffs
Department was asked to provide lsw
enforcement service to the city in the
interim.
The next Council meeting is sched-
uled for 7 p.m. Thursday, July 11, at
City Hall.
