FREETake One! July 27, 2015 Karns Senior Center opens Finally, a new sign ordinance for Knoxville By Mike Steely [email protected] It only took another three and one-half hours last Tuesday, but the City of Knoxville has a new Sign Ordi- nance — one much more restrictive than the old law. After several motions and maneuvering, city council voted 7-2 for the multi-page document with Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis and Councilwoman Brenda Palmer voting NO. Revising the old sign regulations saw controversy throughout the Sign Task Force’s nearly four-year effort. The opposition was led by Scenic Knoxville who fought against minor changes in the old height and area of PHOTO BY JOHN GUSTIN signs and several other parts of the ordinance.

The Speaker has also agreed to talk to Bolling. There are several theories why Bolling is reluctant at this time to bring the bill to the floor. All agree, however, that your call is essential at this time. TALKING POINTS: 1. I want to thank you for your con­ siderable efforts on behalf of the cost containment bill thus far. You have given the bill a fair hearing and done your best to prepare the bill for floor consideration. 2. I strongly believe that the bill should come to�the floor this week. Our experience has been that we have lost strength over district work periods. If the bill is not disposed of before the Thanksgiving recess, Congressmen will be subject to intense lobbying on their home turf.

First Term Congressman On The Job BY DAVID C. CROUCH The rising hum of activity was clearly audible as the 435 representatives of the 92nd Congress assembled in the House chamber for the opening ceremonies of the first session. Bipartisan greetings between the repre­ sentatives were evident, and legislators, who in the coming months would square off in legislative con­ frontation, appeared quite jovial. The increasing rumble of voices and the rustling of paper by pageboys beginning their task of daily distributing bills and copies of the legislative calendar were suddenly silenced by the resounding echo of Speaker Carl Albert's gavel as he calleii the first session to order. For 48 freshmen representatives, two years of per­ petual motion had begun. The sound of the gavel had ended the welcome rest after the November elections and had initiated the seemingly endless committee meet­ ings, general House sessions, personal appearances and routine daily appointments that crowd a congressman's HARDING schedule.
