Rivin said that while the council conducts its business in the open, it is often hard to get information from the various departments.

Ail city offices should have public information immediately available to the public, Rivin said, but added that instead, they are often restrictive and obstructive. Lipshutz said he thinks coun- cil members should scrutinize closely the city administration and have the "toughness" to make any changes it finds necessary. He advocated full financial disclosure, not only by the city council, but also by the city manager and his staff. Mayor Cole said he would like the opportunity to continue making the tough decisions he said the council has been making. Under the present administration, he said, Sioux City, has a good record of growth and progress.

The city is revitalizing its physical assets, he said, and is taking care of housing needs with leased housing and housing rehabilitation. He cited the city's triple A credit rating and a recent survey giving Sioux City a good rating on the quality of life here. Delegates to the recent meeting of the Iowa League of Municipalities here were im- pressed with the way Sioux City was preserving its downtown area, he said. coffee gallery Miss Edna Juve i i Miss Edna Juve, 66, 2001 Mrs. J.

S5 Lipshutz also expressed agreement that Sioux City must meet its commitments down- town, but said the shopping center issue is a good issue because it shows people are concerned and want things to happen in the city. He said there is a need for more neighborhood shopping centers. Mayor Cole, the only one of the four that has had a hand in the city's shopping center policy, denied that it is an effort to eliminate competition for downtown. He said he's all for competition, but said downtown first must get a major retailer to anchor the west end of the central business district before outlying shopping centers be allowed to come in.

When questioned about Brandeis commitment to build in the Badgerow block, Cole said it is definite that Brandeis will open its store here by November of 1977.

By Bob Gunsolley Journal Staff Writer Four of the 14 City Council candidates indicated Thursday they go along with the present council policy of keeping large outlying shopping centers out of Sioux City until downtown redevelopment is completed.

The shopping center issue came up during a question period after the candidates made five-minute opening statements.
