they thought they were a fair Council Group, but she felt mistreated in
more ways than one. She felt that we needed to tax the people outside the --*
City Limits which are at this time using City Water. The City Manager and
the Mayor assured the Richie' s that there was no way we could tax these
people until the City population reached over 5,000 to where they could pos-
sibly annex these people into the City Limits. The Mayor and City Manager,
invited Mr. and Mrs. Richie to come in anytime and they would sit down and
discuss any problem they might have. At this time, the City Manager asked
if anyone else had any questions and Mr. Del Wilson asked if the City of
