A similar public forum has been operating at the Neenah Board of Education meetings for some time, and City Atty. Daniel Murphy reported to aldermen that he has seen it work out very well there. The City Council's public forum may be altered to require citizens to submit in advance statements of what issue they will bring up and what questions they would like answered.

That would allow the aldermen to be better prepared to answer questions. Aldermen were also asked Wednesday night to consider changing the starting time for council meetings. Aid. Michael Ellis asked that the 7:30 starting time be moved to 6:30. He noted that sessions often last beyond 11 p.m., and with the new public forum, they may go even longer.

Aid. Steven Spanbauer objected to changing the time. He said some officials, including himself, had jobs that would make it difficult for them to be at city hall by 6:30 p.m. "I would vote against any change from 7:30," Spanbauer said. A motion to put the matter of a different starting time on the agenda for the next council meeting was approved, with aldermen Spanbauer, Thomas Willarson and Don Colburn voting no.

In other action, the council voted to allow an expenditure of up to $128,000 for the Winneconne Avenue reconstruction project west of the slough. The current estimate for the project is $116,000, but the state Highway Department requested that the city authorize funding up to TO per cent higher than current estimates. The city's share of the cost is expected to be nearly $94,000.

A budget report for the project was also submitted to the council. The report showed that only $754.99 of the project's original $5,000 in funding remains.

The council set a deadline of August 15 on efforts to procure additional funding for the project. If no funds have been received by that date, a final report would be compiled with all available data, which would be presented to Gov. Patrick Lucey. Council member Rudy Collum said that the Native American Project committee has gotten "pretty good mileage out of the $5,000. It's proven that we can do something, take some positive steps toward determ ining just what the state is and isn't doing for Native Americans." Several council members expressed concern over the funding situation of the project.

Also cited was the lack of support for the council itself. "We have to make the people of Wisconsin aware," said council chairman Alan Gaudynski, "that a staff of 35 volunteers and a council budget of $1,800 a year does not even scratch the surface of the problems that we're trying to resolve here. "There's a lot of work to do in terms of equality in the state. Our stated purpose is to be the conscience of the state in matters of human rights. I think this conscience needs more than 35 volunteers and 1,800 bucks," Gaudynski said.

Collum stressed that the Native American Project should concern itself (Post-Crescent photo by Cooper report with investigating past programs of state agencies for Native Americans and determining the level of effectiveness of such efforts. "This can't turn into autobiography -the Native Americans reporting on what has happened in the past. We have to check governmental agencies and find out what has been done, or attempted, in the past. Then we can make recommendations on what should be done in the future," Collum said. Other council members stressed, however, that the report should also explain what it is like living on an Indian reservation.

Members agreed that the report should contain extensive facts and figures pertaining to educational and occupational levels of the state's Native Americans.

At the present time, however, the number of cattle being placed on feed is dropping while the number of cows being slaughtered is increasing, signs that beef producers are limiting production.

Such action could strengthen markets, he said. He said the market is hurt because large numbers of beef steers are being marketed at weights 25-30 pounds heavier than in previous years, a trend which greatly increases meat supplies. Vilstrup also warned of continuing meat imports to the United States and told cattlemen they must have a firm' legislative voice. "I think we need a strong voice for the cattle industry today." John Craig, route 2, Mukwonago, president of the state cattlemen's association, told the farmers that Wisconsin is the nineth largest beef producing state in the nation and that it is in the best interests of both dairymen and beef farmers to form a strong organization. He said 400 million pounds of beef has been imported, through April, that is directly competitive with the utility and canner and cutter grade beef sold by Wisconsin dairymen.

Craig said the United States is the only major beef nation that accepts imports of foreign beef supplies. KAUKAUNA -Beef farmers who now are getting less than break-even prices for their products are in much the same situation as dairymen whose milk prices have plummeted, and working together the farmers may be able to help one another, said Donald Wilkinson, state secretary of agriculture. He told a crowd of an estimated 300 here Friday at a Wisconsin Cattlemen's Association meeting at the farm of Eugene Haen, route 3, that the beef industry may be able to solve some of its problems through promotional efforts. Wilkinson cited work done by the American Dairy Association and Wisconsin Pork Producers Association in commodity sales efforts. He said dairymen, who sell the greatest amount of beef in Wisconsin, share a concern in the beef market.

"The dairyman has as much at stake as the traditional beef producer. Wilkinson said both dairy and beef farmers are faced now with ridding markets of an oversupply of their product.

Testimony furnished to the committee by both men showed that there was a disagreement at the scene. Friar made his accusations in writing to the panel and Moore verbally refuted them point for point. Moore conceded on only one: that he directed a sheriff's deputy to order Friar to leave.

Furthermore, Friar held, the incident was a breach of his county agreement.
