ing future usage. Mr Miller made the motion, which passed 5-0, with the admission that he has one objection: “an ever-expanding government with a stable population.”
The council also considered and approved a special use permit for Mary Bleecker Simmons, who owns the small log cabin on Main Street near the Clopton House.

The only real problem before the council was an entrance to the building. The existing front door is not now in use and sits nearly two feet above the sidewalk.

The council meeting started with * one small problem: council’s secre- • tary Ray Gooch resigned at the beginning of the meeting. To make' sure everyone understood he meant it, he carefully did not bring his portable computer with him.

In the end the council agreed that each member would take the job for two months, and turn the notes over to Mr. Morehouse so that his office staff could type out the minutes, duplicate them and get them distributed to the council members
