Obvious from the beginning of the present Village board's "reign"
was its concern for the Village's "Image," as voiced by the School
Board, Chamber of Commerce, civic groups, and Individuals, With
various approaches suggested, including press conferences and a
wide-scale advertising cam-somcone

publicist but rather Is tic-customcd

prospects and knows where and
how to approach them.; The

fell the .position will not be filled

will enhance lax ratabloi without
adversely affecting the en­vironment.
The residential phase
is to attract good, civic-minded
-citizens by (jromoting the ad­vantages
of living In Frceport.
