Some are Barclay's neighbors and a few double as firefighters for Buffalo and Louisburg. Lamont Swanson, fire chief In Louisburg and a volunteer in Buffalo, said he did not think Barclay's living situation affected his ability to fight fires. Barclay had been criticized for arriving at the scene of a fire after other firefighters. "I don't feel that it's that important for the fire chief to be there first." Swanson said.

They marched on the west side of Chapmans Furniture and Appliance as the board met with Barclay.

City Administrator Sam Grove said he had talked to and VV representative Lee Gamble by telephone Monday afternoon.

"I've been in contact with them and they'd like to come back to town next week," Grove told the aldermen. Another ordinance said that applicants for city jobs "need not reside within the city at the time of application, but the individual is urged to reside with the city after appointment."

Benton said he agrees that voters must have the final say, but he does not agree with the concept of permitting dog racing in Missouri. The House Ways and Means Committee was scheduled to meet later Tuesday to hear the proposed amendment. which would change the current horse-racing amendment as well as allow dog racing. There are strong indications that the House will not endorse dog racing and the measure is likely to head to a House and Senate conference committee for resolution.
