We try to respond to them as best we can and sometimes they are useful in helping us assess priorities, In all fairness I think that publle works are doing a good job. As for those who are not able to communicate in a civilized manner, but have to resort to insults, vituperation and malicious accusations, I ask that this be directed to mem- ‘Job's Daughters’ Install bers of council only, and not to city employees who are doing their best to provide good service. oe 8 We get complaints about dogs.
