Trotter Notes Goldberg Supports SCJC 'Appeals' Role Removal Of Meters The Rev. E. J. Trotter, a candidate the State Center Junior College. District board, said the board "must exercise its role as an appeals board with vigor equal to that of its role as a governing board." la The clergyman's Rev.

Trotter, group in speaking his cam- to paign for election to the SCIC's Area seat, said the trustees "must be sensitive to the public, students and Bell Hits Proposed Mayor Salary Raise Councilman Elvin C. Bell, a candidate for mayor, said the proposed increase in the mayor's salary is "too much, too soon, and not in line with other cities." Bell criticized the proposed raise, which will be on the April municipal ballot, during a talk before a group of Fresno teachers in the Hotel Californian. He called the city's charter "a strong foundation upon which local government has been given flexibility to solve problems of a growing municipality." He said under the charter, the city has made the transi-, tion to the council-administrator form of government to "bring to an end the personaliclashes, bickering and polticking within city government which were so common prior to 1965." If elected mayor, he said, he would work to keep the administrative branch of city government separate from the legislative area. "There is too much work do in the mayor's office for him to get involved in the administrative area," he said. Mrs.

Leas Calls For Spending 'Priorities' a Rental Owners Group a Fights Housing Move Fiscal responsibility, School Board candidate Mrs. Ernestine Leas told a group of businessmen, is "a question of priorities" when applied to the school system. "The amount of money available to run our schools always limited," she at luncheon meeting. "Therefore, it is the responsibility who set policy, working er with the administration, to determine what is most tant as it affects our children's education." "I would consider the use of money in building new schools, to determine what type of building could be built for the longest use and maximum use; what funds should be allocated for worthwhile teachers' salaries SO we could keep qualified teachers in our schools without having to spend money recruiting new ones; what centage of the school dollars should be spent for administrative salaries and what should be the relationship between administrative salaries and teachers' salaries; what savings would be made if we went to a 12-month teaching year instead of the traditional nine months." The Fresno Apartment House Association is opposing a measure on the city election ballot April 15 which would permit the Housing Authority of the City of Fresno to construct or acquire an additional 1,000 units of public housing through prepaid federal funds and rental income. Lawrence Helmuth, a member of the association board of directors and spokesman, said, "We contend that it is economlically unsound to provide sive housing with subsidized rent when existing property owners are paying for the sewer, sewer tax, police and fire protection." He maintained if the authority was permitted to buy lots and build new homes, public assistance recipients would in effect be living in finer units than their working and taxpayling next-door neighbors.

Helmuth maintained the vate sector could more economlically provide the units, insuring a tax base rather than "token in lieu" tax payments made by the authority.

WAYTE ON 111 SCHOOL BOARD YOUR Municipal Code Sewer Changes Get City Okay The Fresno City Council has unanimously approved, changes in the Fresno Municipal Code to bring it in line with a recent Joint Powers Agreement with the county on sanitary sewers in the metropolitan fringe area. The city sanitary system will be extended into the area county and the county has adopted a mandatory sewer ordinance requiring about 30,000 fringe a area residents to hook on eventualgreatly. Probably the most significant item in the changes is the compromise fee adopted following months of negotiation and near deadlock on several occasions.

Monthly Charges The monthly service charge for the outside single family residence will i be $2.75. This compares with $1.65 inside the city limits and the $3.60 which was first proposed by the city as the proper charge. Part of the compromise was a limitation on the outside rate in terms of like increases inside and out and provisions for an upward adjustment in the outside rate should an insufficient number of connections be made. All changes are in accord with the Joint Powers Agreement and, in some cases, in the exact language of the agreement. Meanwhile, the county is proceding with the formation of improvement districts to finance installation of sanitary sewer systems.

The council approved what Public Works Director James L. Martin termed the "first in a long series to come," which calls for a system located in the county along North Arden Drive between North Cedar Avenue and North Eleventh Street.
