Ah Eye To The Future While most of the citizens of Decatur were occupied Tuesday evening enjoying their leisure time watching television or reading a book, possibly Catching up on some work, 6r even sleeping, the Decatur city council, Mayor Gage, Clerk-treasurer Laura Bdsse and city attorney Anderson were busy making some decisions that will help make Decatur a better city. These decisions will not only make Decatur a better city for the present, but, if administered properly in the future, would have a long-range effect. The immediate results will be a better sewage system, better fire protection and resulting lower insurance rates, and better administration of the city. The proposed storm sewers appear to service only the central area of town, but actually offer relief throughout most of the city. By removing the area from Seventh street east to the river from the existing lines, the outlying areas will drain much faster, as will the downtown area. Also, the proposed sewers will be laid down streets that will not be excessively expensive to repair. There are also laterals included in the estimated costs .that will tie in the total area between the main lines down Adams, Madison and Jackson streets. The water towers, fire engine and addition to the fire house, coupled with an expected addition of three full-time firemen to the force, will result in lower insurance rates for Decatur citizens. The city was recently re-rated, and will be dropped back to its former position when these improvements are complete. No one is sure of what the remodeling for city hall wifi consist. If it is architecturally feasible, the former steam plant might be remodeled into a complete city building. This would give the street department garage space, the city offices more room, and the police department sufficient space to be a real police department. All of these improvements would have to come if Decatur is to grow in either quality, quantity, or both. If these things were not done in this manner, they would have to be done by taxation, or not at all. And NONE of the money is spent. If one or all of the proposals prove impractical, or there are other‘needs more pressing, the council has protected the money so it can be used in a different manner by a future ordinance. But the money will not revert to the general fund, since it has been allocated for a specific purpose. The bulk of the money ■ also protected. It does not have to be spent fdr the purpose stated in the ordinance. It is hoped by the present administration that It can be used in the future to help solve the water problem that will face Decatur as it expands. This sum also is only allocated, not spent. It may be that some other projects replace one or more of the proposed improvements. Whatever the money is used for, the council, mayor, clerk-treasurer and city attorney, through a well-thought-out and wellcoordinated plan, have protected our money for future needs. - -
