If and when these five are
elected, the next step for what
their hackers term "a common
sense town with common-sense
people" will be an application to
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency for financial assistance
in hiring a engineer to lay out
estimates of the towns growth
potential.

sewer treatment plants to re-
