of a cleaner. healthier city of
CUffon.'' He told Council mem-
-bers that the housing codes
should he enforced where suto-
(riawlard housing exists, junk
automobiles should be removed
from public streets, and dog
controls encouraged. v-
City Manager Neystel re$«rted
to the Council that Kay Mills, a
municipal employee, has dog
catching as otic of his respon-
f abilities. While he is not patrol-
ling city streets, he ft answer-
ing complaints and may he able
to do more dog control work
later, the city manager said.
Concerning housing conditions,
Mayor Smith said that the city
had received 20 complaints about
one arec.
The city manager said that
about four or five places “really
need attention.”
Mayor Smith also expressed
concern about vandalism at
Dahl Park. He said that it was
disturbing to see so much de-
struction at a facility planned
for the recreation and enjoy-
ment of Clifton citizens.
Request Denied
The Council turned down a re-
quest that the city contribute
money toward fhe Little League
baseball field.
Ciy Attorney Steve Robertson
explained that it was illegal for
municipalities to make donations
to non-government entities. Mu-
nicipal funds must be spent on
citv projects, he pointed out. /
White discussing community
projects, some Council member^
expressed personal hopes that,
joint collection efforts could be
instituted by local charities to
eliminate the several individual
fund-raising drives now under-
taken in Clifton. They acknow-
ledged, however, that such a
plan would have to come
through private efforts since it
would not be a city function.
No Funds Available
City Manager Neystel advised
Council members that the U S.
Department of Housing arid Ur-
ban Development has recom-
mended that Clifton not file a
full application for funds for its
water supply system this year.
“Our application was rated low
in the areas of substandard
housing in Clifton, poverty in
Clifton, and rapid population
change," the city manager ex-
plained. “The application was
rated high based on the eminent
threat to health and safety cri-
terion.”
The city manager said that
white funds would not be avail-
able for Clifton this year, the
city could resubmit its applica-
tion for recommendation next
year.
Senior Citiierj*
Permission was granted by ti
City Council for the Senii
zens to use the city-owned house
at 402 Live Oak St. for some of
the group's activities, in addi-
tion to continued use of the Civic
Center for major programs. The
office of the director of Bosque
Senior Services may also be
moved to the house from City
Hall.
Eventually, the structure will
be razed for City Hall parking.
Meanwhile, the house will be re-
decorated and repaired, with the
city providing up io $300 ih' ma-
terials and gvppites and the Sen-
ior Citizens the labor.
Summer Recreation
A summer recreation program
which will cost an estimated
$2,000 won Council approval last
week City Manager Neystel said
that he honed to hire Donald
Hennig, (lift on High School’s
head coach and athletic director,
to be coordinator. Four youths
may be available through a fed-
erally-funded program for part
time duty, he added
Principal Richard Liardon of
the ClifioB Elomentary School
was authorized by the Clifton
Independent School District
Board of Trustees to permit use
of the following school facilities
in the city’s summer recreation
program:
Elementary School gymnasi-
um; Clifton High School gymna-
sium, under special circum-
stances; the tennis courts at the
Elementary School, and the
workout room and gym set at
the fooifoaH field.
City facilities which can be
utilized include;
Tennis courts; roque court;
croquet court at Dahl Park, and
the old golf course.
Arrangements may be made to
utilize the Mermaid Pool for wa-
ter activities and the Bosque
County Golf Club for golf, City
Manager Neystel suggested. A
summer recreation program
could also include arts and crafts
activities, w hich could be held in
City Hdll if necessary, he added;
The Coordinator will recroft
individuals to work orf specific
activities on a volunteer bass,
Sian Allen, manager of the Dairy
Queen, has volunteered to give
golf lessons once or twice a
week, City Manager Neystel re-
ported.
Of the estimated $2,000 cost,
from $1,200 to $1,500 will be for
labor, with $500 to be alloted to
miscellaneous expenses includ-
ing equipment.
Mayor Smith told the Council
that he believed that there would
be a lot of interest in such a pro-
gram.

Airport Grant
City Manager Neystel suggest-
ed to the Council that if the Clif-
ton Airport becomes part of the
National Airport Plan and eli-
gible for federal funding, ah ap-
plication be made for a grant to
construct a turnaround at the
north end of the runway add to
pave an additional area for pro-
posed hangar expansion and ad-
ditional ramp space.
Should a grant be approved,
the Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration would pay 75 per cent of
the cost ami the Texas Aeronau-
tics Commission would pay up to
12.5 per cent of the expense. The

The grant could not be used for
hangar construction, the city
manager pointed out. Hangars
would cost $10,000.' or $11,000
each. City Manager Neystel esti-
