We might also comment here that the small remuneration paid those who direct the city‘s affairs in no way adequately compensates them for the time and effort spent on the job. When one considers that the members of the council must deâ€" wote at least a nominal amount of time to their private affairs, he may well appreciate the sacrifices these men make for the cause of civic duty. At best, it is a thankless job. One of the questions scheduled for discussion at Monday night‘s session was that of the two bids submitted at the November 13 meeting offering facilities to take care of the city‘s surplus refuse.
