1984年9月

此内容暂无简体中文译文,以下为英文原文。

Historical September 1984 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

Dan McGuire, the 28th Ward Alderman, regularly submits articles to The Times in order to update his constituents on various issues as well as to express his concerns and opinions.

This issue he is addressing the continuing controversy over the Des Peres barricade located just south of Delmar, as well as political issues which are related.

In order to enlarge on part of Dan’s comments, the context of the “mysterious” flyer, received by Rosedale residents as well as Washington Heights residents, is reprinted below.

They were distributed August 6.

As a result, approximately 100 people attended the meeting on August 14. Despite the invitation issued in the flyer, the Rosedale residents were not considered to have a part in the meeting.

After discussion of who was responsible for the flyer, the meeting’s agenda, the barricades, and the supposed recall drive, Dan excused himself from the meeting.

At that time, almost all those attending left, leaving about a dozen to continue the meeting.

The Times (then The Paper) ran an article on the proposed barricades in our February issue, a large map showing the changes ran in April, in May Don Fitz submitted an article expressing opposition to the Des Peres barricade, and in June we published several letters to the editor on the street closings.

This publication will continue to publish articles or letters submitted concerning this or related issues; The Times is a community service paper, dedicated to helping Skinker-DeBaliviere residents keep informed about the neighborhood and its issues.

However, we cannot always do this without input from all sides. Take this opportunity to be heard—on the barricades or whatever else—write a Letter to the Editor or submit an article.

We thank everyone for signing the petitions for the removal of the barricades.

At a meeting of Washington Heights Neighbor Org. July 10, 1984, Alderman Daniel MecGuire (sic) was given petitions for the REMOVAL OF THE BARRICADES.

There were over 800 signatures on those petitions.

The alderman continues to disregard the wishes of the people of our neighborhood on this and other issues. You can express your discontent with the alderman and the 28th WARD DEMOCRATIC TEAM (V. Schoemehl, Daniel McGuire, Dee Suda, and Kim Tucci) at your polling place, by VOTING AGAINST members of that team, (DEE SUDA and KIM TUCCI) tomorrow, TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1984. Also, you can help take part in a petition drive to recall the alderman.
