Robinson Globe Staff Long-time residents of Allston-Brighton remember when the area last had district representatives on the City Council 30 years ago.

This year, the city's most geographically remote area will elect someone to the new district seat. But it will be the area's newest residents who may decide the election. "The whole key to this election will be the new says Michael J. McCormack, an at-large councilor who Is from Brighton. City registration data shows that more than 4000 new voters have enrolled this year In Allston-Brighton, boosting total enrollment there by 20 percent.

With just four days until the preliminary election, eight candidates are scrambling for votes from both old-timers and newcomers In the new District 9. The two top finishers on Tuesday will face each other In the Nov. 15 final election. "There's been no raging enthusiasm for the contest, but there has been heightened interest because Allston and Brighton have been without representation for 30 years, except for Mike McCormack's election at large two years ago," said state Rep. William F.

Galvin (D-Brighton). By most political estimates and a poll published this week in the Allston-Brighton Citizen Item, five of the eight candidates are considered serious contenders for the two spots in the final. They include a teacher, a former legislator, an attorney and two former city officials. Perhaps the best-known candidate is former state representatives John F. Melia, ousted in 1980 after 15 years in the Legislature by Rep.

Thomas Gallagher. Two years ago, the 69-year-old Melia finished 21st in the race for an at-large City Council seat. One of his opponents is Richard M. Izzo, who had a similar experience with Gallagher, losing to him in the contest for the House seat a year ago. Izzo.

a chemistry teacher in Newton, is well-known in the district. Gallagher's help and that of state Sen. George Bachrach (D-Watertown), whose district includes Allston and Brighton is going to 27-year-old Brian J. McLaughlin, a one-time Little City Hall official who also has the support of the Massachusetts Tenants Organization, which has a large membership in the district. Another candidate is attorney Joseph H.

Ho-gan 36, who once worked for Joseph F. Ti-milty when Timilty, now a state senator, was a city councilor. Hogan also worked for David I. Finnegan when Finnegan, now a Boston mayoral candidate, served on the School Committee. The fifth candidate viewed as a serious contender is Helene Solomon, a 30-year-old Cleveland Circle resident who, until recently, was an aide to Boston deputy mayor Micho F.

Spring. The tenant representative on the city's Rent Equity Board, Solomon is the only woman among those considered serious contenders. The other candidates are Jean Farrell of Faneuil street, George Franklin of Commonwealth avenue and Jerome P. MacDonald of Bi-gelow street. According to Galvin and McCormack, crime, housing and institutional expansion are the major issues in the race.

"Police protection and the full-service status of Station 14 are the highest priority items because of the significant elderly population," Galvin says.

By Robert A. Jordan Globe Staff Six candidates are vying for the City Council seat from District 7, an area long described as the "heart" of Boston's black community. Although the center of Boston's black populace has shifted southward toward Mattapan, District 7, which includes Roxbury and Uphams Corner, is still a key political seat for the city's black residents. It is one of two voting districts (District 4 is the other) that virtually guarantees minority representation on a City Council that, before redistricting. had only two black members in recent history.

The first was Thomas I. Atkins. The second is present City Councilor Bruce C. Boiling, who was elected to a citywide seat two years ago. but decided against an at-large campaign this year and is seeking the District 7 seat.

The six candidates are: Boiling, 38, Ben Haith, 40, and Elizabeth Jones, all of Roxbury; James Joseph of Dorchester; Roy A. Owens, 37, and Steven A. Wise, both of Roxbury. Boiling, son of state Sen. Royal and brother of State Rep.

Royal is running on his record of the past two years. "The legislation that 1 proposed, and became law, has had an impact on the city as a whole, but It has had a critical impact on my community in District 7. So I have been addressing the issues and concerns in my district, but there still remains much to be done." Some of his accomplishments during his first term, he said, in clude passage of his "comprehensive fair housing legislation." creation of his proposed Arson Prevention Commission, and the council's recent passage of his bill requiring 50 percent of jobs in Boston be given to city residents, 25 percent to minorities and 10 percent to women. Haith, making his first try for the council, said, as a community activist he has acquired the skills and abilities "to bring some stability to the district." Co-owner, with his wife, of an advertising agency, he said he has been using a screened tent near Dudley Station as a campaign headquarters. Haith expressed concern about the erosion of housing stock in his district and said he believed a "linkage" program between downtown Boston and the community would help reverse the problem.

"But the community must have part of the decision-making process," he said. Envisioning a November runoff with Boiling. Haith said his theme is: "We have a choice and we have a Owens, a social worker making his first try for elective office, favors a bigger budget for the Boston School Committee, with some of that extra money committed to the rebuilding of schools in his district. "I've long proposed that and would like to see it carried out," he said. Citing crime as a major problem in his district, Owens would like to see anticrime groups in his area work more closely with police.
