It's in everyone's interest that we get good people."' If you haven't an interest in municipal affairs you won't find it rewarding if you are elected to council,' Platt said. However those people who run and have an interest in their town wili find it rewarding, he added.

It requires lots of homework and it's time- consuming"' being on couneil Platt stressed.
