(Register Mall photo by Brent Cramer.) Mangieri proud to serve as mayor for 12 years By ANDREA FERRETTI (Staff Writer) ABINGDON "You sometimes wonder why a man wants to be a mayor," a speaker told more than 100 persons Friday at a voter awareness night at Hedding Grade School. The speaker was Mayor Samuel Mangieri, stepping down this month after 12 years as mayor of Abingdon. He was asked by the Abingdon Jaycees to sum up his 12 years in office as mayor.

Afterwards two mayoral hopefuls talked about why they want to take Mangieri's place and what they would do if elected. A man wants to become mayor because of the personal satisfaction, Mangieri said. Then he wonders, when he is elected, what he will do. Mangieri, who served as an alderman for 16 years, had three goals: to represent the wherever he was, in the best possible way; to administer with fairness; and to keep the community in the black. We do have problems in a community such as ours and will always have them.

Just for an example, for 28 years we've had dog problems. If a man is in this job for 28 more years he will have dog problems for 28 years. IN COUNCIL MEETINGS when discussing a problem on dogs, it always appeared it was half the people and aldermen on one side and half on the other." When first on the job, Mangieri said, the community had a problem with ambulance service. Now there is a service second to none for a community the size of Abingdon. Abingdon has a volunteer ambulance service and as long as it stays a volunteer force the city won't have to pay for insurance as a paid force would, he said.

Abingdon has always had rain water and sanitary sewer problems, he said. But it isn't because nothing was done. A few years ago residents voted down a bond issue to pay for sewer improvements. "That particular vote will probably cost the city and its citizens $800,000 or $1 million more than four or five years ago," he asserted. Financing is a "stickler," he commented.

"You can't say hocus pocus, dominocus, we've got the money. It doesn't work that way. Either you people out there obligate yourselves to some kind of a bond to pay for it, and until you do, that condition will exist." PERSONNEL PROBLEMS EXIST wherever you have workers, Mangieri said. He has been told several times the "citys boys are sitting on brooms" but he does believe they work hard and are doing their best. He said the day is coming when collective bargaining will be a state law.

He discussed city finances, saying "You can have what you want but you have to pay for it." He explained city funds are from federal revenue sharing, sales tax, property taxes, income taxes, licenses and fees and real estate taxes. He summed up by asking, "How do you judge whether a mayor does a good job or a bad job? If you keep the city in the black and out of hock, maybe that's a good job. We can point with pride that we have a good community, a clean community. "We can always look back and see the people that preceeded us must have laid a pretty good groundwork because we've had something good to build on. And I hope we continue building on it.

"It's with a lot of price I've served this community all these years," he commented.

Home buyers need more cash WASHINGTON (UPI) Buyers of new homes need $5 ,000 more for a down payment now than they did only four years ago, according to the nation's central bank.

And despite a bigger down payment, the Federal Reserve Board said the average monthly payment for mortgage principal and interest is more than $300. This is 50 per cent higher than the amount paid by new home owners before the Arab oil embargo in 1973, which spurred the worst peacetime inflationary cycle of the century. The central bank said only high income families and buyers who entered the market with an existing home to sell have been able to handle the escalating costs of purchase and ownership. Yet despite soaring prices and down payment requirements, the Federal Reserve said demand for new homes is undiminished. This strong demand is the primary reason interest rates have remained at a high level of about 9 per cent despite an unprecedented volume of money available for mortgage lending in savings institutions.

'The average down payment on conventional first mortgages the major financing instrument used exceeded $13 ,000 in early 1977," the Federal Reserve said. "This was more than 10 per cent above a year earlier and about three -fifths higher than levels prevailing in 1973." Besides a bigger down payment and higher monthly mortgage costs, the central bank said other operating expenses including property taxes, fuel and utilities have increased mm than 50 per cent since the energy crisis. "Although average family income has also been rising, it has not kept pace with such increases in homeowner costs," the bank said in the latest issue of the Federal Reserve Bulletin. The bank said the strongest buyer demand for new homes has been in the western states, particularly California. The northeastern states report the lowest new home sales..
