Mr. Ken Murray
Dear Mr. Murray:
In response to your Candidates Questionnaire forwarded to me,
I would answer them as follows:
1)	What do you think of our present form of city government and what changes would you like to see take place?
First, let me state that no form of city government can be any better than the people who comprise it. In Mississippi we have available to us the following types:	the Commission
Council, the Mayor Council (may be called Aldermen), the City Manager, and under new legislation effective April 22, 1976, we have what may be known as the "Strong Mayor" form of government with the provision for a Chief Administrative Officer. At the present time, it is my understanding that there is a group who is promoting this type of government and is attempting to obtain the required petition signed by twenty percent of the electors to place this question before the voters of Bay St. Louis. To my best knowledge, the	U.	S.
Attorney General has not yet approved the strong mayor	form	^
under the 196S Voting 'Rights Act.
2)	What way do you propose to spend our Revenue Sharing Funds?
Our two most pressing needs are extension of water services in the annexed area and a large amount of major street repair, and Revenue Sharing Funds should be considered to meet these needs. In addition, of course, the widening of Main Street to II. S. Highway 90 to at least Dunbar Avenue would be	most desirous, as well as pedestrian overpasses at Dunbar and	U.	S.
Highway 90 and Main Street and U. S. Highway 90, particularly for the children who walk to and from school daily.
