the Village Hall, 633-5676. The Committees are: Board of Appeals Finance Human Rights Parks & Recreation Public Safety Public Works Planning Newsletter Publication We urge you to call as soon as possible as Council members will be working , on these appointments during December. (If this were a Want -Ad it might read: "Experience not necessary; interest and enthusiasm are.,') ' ..... Ward Hanson, our newly -elected Council member, has been appointed by Council to fill the Council seat vacated by Bill Feyereisen for the remaind- er of 1976..... Arden Hills voter turn -out at the recent elections was high, with 82% of U the registered voters casting their ballots. Fifty election judges worked their pencils to the nubs; one team was stationed at all polling places be- fore they opened at 8:00 A.M. and worked through until after closing at 8:00 , P.M. - a long day. The teams of counters began their work then, a job which took until 3:00 or 4:00 A.M., and in one location until nearly 8:00 A.M. the morning of November 3. Clerk/Administrator Charlotte McNiesh says she admir- ed the efficiency and good humor of these hard working ladies. Congratulations to the winners - Incumbent Mayor Henry Crepeau, Incumbent Councilman Jim Wingert and new Councilman Ward Hanson. (Although after a recent Council meeting that ran until 2:30 A.M., Ward may be wondering if Condolences aren't in order.) I Words of appreciation are due to the candidates who ran and did not win (Doug Barthany, James Luban and Joseph Talcott). Their sincere interest and enthus� iasm in serving the Villager and the time and effort put into their campaigns deserves to be noted. There are 4,281 registered voters in Arden Hills; of these 3,522 voted. Of the 3,522, 681 people registered on Election Day. This extremely high num- ber of registrations on the day of elections accounts for some of the delays , you may have encountered at the polling places as the registration process requires considerably more time than the simple ballot -marking. In addition, although the number of voters expected to rec3ister on that day is unpredict- able, it is a problem factor affecting assumed man -power requirements, num- ber of ballots to have available, etc., so obviously pre -registration simpli- fies Election Day for everyone. .... Progress at Arden Manor - possible resolutions to problems there expect- ed at December 13 Council Meeting..... I .... Revision of the Snowmobile Ordinance - Council discussion continues. Final passage hoped for sometime in December...._
