Census 2000 -What a difference a century makes
In 1900, William
McKinley was President
of the United States, fewer
than 10,000 registered
automobiles poked along
the 125,000 miles of
"surfaced" roads at top
speeds of 20-30 mph and
Census Day came on June I- after
planting and before harvesting when the
40 percent of the population who lived
on farms returned from the fields.
About 53,000 census-takers went
door-to-door for up to eight weeks to
count an average of 1,400 residents
each, carrying an 80-page book of in-
structions and a "general schedule" of
22 questions. Those included name, age,
sex, race, relationship to the "head of
household," literacy (11 percent of the
population 10 years old and over could
not read or write - to-
day the question is not
asked), whether the per-
son spoke English and
where he/she was born
(Nearly 14 percent of the
76 million population in
1900 was borne outside
the United States, compared to 9.7% in
1997).
One hundred years later, about 860,000
census-takers will conduct the 22nd
national census in what will be the larg-
est peacetime mobilization in the United
States since the Great Depression. The
Census Bureau projects the nation's
population on April 1, 2000, will be about
274 million people.
One of the questions asked in 1900 of
women who at any time had been mar-
ried was the number of children they
had borne. The "crude" birth rate was
32.3 births per 1,000 population in 1900,
compared with 14.6 births per 1,000
population in 1997. In 1900, less than 5
percent of the population 25 years old
and older had graduated from high school;
in contrast, 82 percent of the population
25 and older had graduated from high
school or gone on to higher education in
1997.
In 1900, the enumerators worked for
the then-temporary Census Office, a part
of the Interior Department. There was
no address list, no mailout-mailback of
questionnaires and relatively few reliable
maps. The devices that came closest to
high technology were electric card sort-
ers and tabulators, primitive forerunners
of the sophisticated data capture and

The City's Fire Department is ensuring a better Y2K with the addition of this new Road Rescue
ambulance. The ambulance uses a customer designed interior that will work well with out operation
procedures. The ambulance also was built using the latest construction techniques that should
provide a longer life and improved patient comfort. The ambulance was purchased for $105,980
and was put in service in December.
Park master plan
(117-) in development
White Oak Studio was re-
cently hired by the City of
- West U to perform a 5-7
year master plan for its
parks. As part of this plan,
a survey will be mailed to ev-
ery home in early February.
Please take time complete
and return the survey. Your input will
help West U develop short and long-
range plans for parks and recreation
services.

By: Mayor Linda Lewis
As I sit here thinking about this being
January, I am somewhat overwhelmed.
I'm not sure it really dawned on me be-
fore, the significance of this new year. I
mean, this is not only a new year, it's the
beginning of a new century, a new mil-
lennium. I never thought before about
my life spanning part of two centuries.
One thing is for sure-I won't be around
at the beginning of the next one!
I remember seeing a film in high school
on what life would be like in the year
2000 and thinking how far away that
was. It was a long way off, but now it's
here. While things have changed dra-
matically since my high school days, they
are not exactly as presented in the film.
One of the things I recall is that house-
cleaning chores would be done by a ro-
bot-I'm ready! Another thing I re-
member is that cars would be solar or
electrically powered and operated on
autopilot. Wonder if an autopilot would
be more sensitive to driving the speed
limit, parking in the right direction, not
blocking sidewalks and stopping at
STOP signs. Oh, what a dreamer I am!
As time passes, I will continue to
dream about what can be and to be
grateful for what is. One of the things I
am grateful for is this community filled
with special people who are not only
good neighbors, but who are competent
and creative in their thinking. In the
months to come the council members and
I will continue looking after your inter-
ests. Certainly, the partnership with
METRO to improve traffic enforcement,
with Harris County to improve Edloe
along Poor Farm Ditch, and with
Southside Place to sponsor Home Place
Celebration are steps in that direction.
Together, with other entities and citizens
whose ideas are constructive, we can
ensure that West U continues to be the
best place one could ever live.
Happy 2000!
West U increases its ~~lice force
by Council Member John Grubb
When I started serving on the West U
City Council, I had a well-developed
feeling of strong community support for
the West U Police Department. How-
ever, I also felt that the community has
some concerns regarding policing in
West U. A recent survey revealed that
approximately 70% of West U citizens
support the addition of three additional
police officers, even if the addition re-
sults in a one-cent tax increase. From
my conversations with numerous citi-
zens, I developed a strong conclusion
that our police officers are very well re-
spected.
Once I was elected to office, I started
examining the various functions of the
West U Police Department in order to
determine what could be done to make
improvements. I discovered that the po-
lice dispatcher handles over 22,000 calls
per year. Later, I discovered that the
nature of policing has changed over the
years; it has become more complex and
each individual task frequently takes the
police officer longer to complete than it
did 10, 15 or 20 years ago. Also, I be-
gan to look at the number of police of-
ficers that we have per 10,000 residents,
compared to other municipalities. I dis-
covered that West U has substantially
fewer officers per 10,00 residents than
the cities of Highland Park, Alamo
Heights and the Memorial Villages. Ad-
ditionally, West U has fewer officers per
10,000 residents than the City of Hous-
ton. Our Police Department is simply
undersized.
Your City Council has made a.num-
ber of changes that should improve your
safety in the future. We have autho-
rized the hiring of three additional po-
lice officers beginning in the year 2000.
Additionally, the Council has authorized
the hiring of additional police dispatch-
ers. Hopefully, these changes will re-
sult in greater protection and safety for
the citizens of West U.
There are several things that you can
do as a citizen to help improve the polic-
ing. First, be observant and report any-
thing suspicious. Second, please obey
all laws. Stop at all stop signs, drive
within the speed limits, stop for school
buses, park your vehicles the correct
way, etc. Third, when you have prob-
lems with your neighbors, please try to
resolve the problem first by discussing
the problem with your neighbor before
calling the police. Finally, whenever you
see a police officer and have the oppor-
tunity to stop and talk to the officer, let
them know how much you appreciate
their efforts.

"The first regular meeting of the
Town Council of the Town of West
University Place was called to order
at 8 PM Monday, January 5", 1925.
Councilmen present were: H.B.
Schlesinger, Mayor; H.L. Baker, Com-
missioner; and J.A. Walling, Commis-
sioner."
Thus began the minutes of the first
City Council meeting in West Univer-
sity Place, 75 years ago this January.
Although West U was incorporated in
January of 1924, the town leaders
spent most of the year planning their
next move. In December 1924, they
voted for a commission form of govern-
ment, and selected the Mayor and Com-
missioners.
At the first meeting, the council mem-
bers appointed J.M. Dunnington as Town
Clerk, Robert Sonfield as City Attorney,
C.E. Gammill as the Town Tax Assessor
and Collector and J.H. Rafferty as Town
Engineer. At the second meeting, on Janu-
ary 19th, 1925, they appointed G.B.
Murray as the Town Marshall. During
this meeting, the council members also
adopted a schedule of salaries and agreed
that the Mayor, the Commissioners, and
the Clerk would receive $1.00 per year.

PLOYEE
IN THE
SPOTLIGHT
This Month's Employee in the Spot-
light is Jack Frisbey, a West U police
officer who loves his work. "This is
the best job I've ever had. It may sound
funny but I really do like to come to
work every day." Jack joined the de-
partment in August 1989.
He started out in the patrol division
but quickly earned a place in criminal
investigations. After his time as detec-
tive, he returned to patrol where he soon
took the position of traffic enforcement
officer. Recently, he has been called
back to the detective division where his
experience was needed to fill a vital in-
vestigations position.
Jack was not always a police officer.
He started his career as a member of
the U.S. Navy reserve during the Viet-
nam war. Once his commitment to the
nation ended, he changed gears and be-
came a pest control technician, eventu-
ally owning his own business. After 18
years, Jack decided that chasing crimi-
nals was more appealing than chasing
bugs.
Jack was born in Boise, Idaho. After
moving around clot as a child, he set
roots in Texas and married Cathy. When
not at work, Jack enjoys his country
home surrounded by pets and miniature
horses. Jack has two kids and a grand-
son.
Jack is a valued member of the
WUPD. Lt. Schneider remarked that
Jack is a solid employee who is always
looking for ways to help West U citi-
zens and the department. Besides be-
ing the traffic officer and interim de-
tective, Jack is a Field Training Officer
and a Background Investigator.
This month's ordinance spotlight is...
Stop! Don't paint that number
You may have found a flyer on your front door from a company
proposing to paint your house number on the curb. This happens
every year. Companies usually point out the attractiveness of the
numbers and the added safety benefit in the event of an emer-
gency at your residence. They also claim that the Police and Fire
Departments first look at curbs for address numbers, and occasionally state that
we authorized or approved their work.
This is not true. Parked cars on the street often make searching curbs for
numbers difficult. In fact, a West U ordinance requires that every residence
have address numbers posted within 24 inches of the principal entrance to the
residence, and that these numbers be 2.5 inches tall and of a color that contrasts
with the background. This ordinance was passed on the recommendations of
both the Police and Fire Departments, because that is where we want to look for
your numbers. Since most residents comply with this ordinance, it is also the
most reliable place for us to find them.
We have nothing against painting numbers on curbs. However, if you do not
have numbers on your house, then please comply with the ordinance and get
some. This will help us help you.
Recycle your Christmas trees and holiday trimmings
by Anne Furse, Recycling Board member
The holidays are a great time
41, ' for entertaining and giving, but
all that activity can generate
alot of garbage. Please help
us reduce the amount of waste
we send to the landfill by re-
cycling trees, gift boxes, and
other holiday items.
J Trees. Starting January
3rd, the City will pick up old
Christmas trees and grind them into
mulch. Remove the base, lights, oma-
ments, and tinsel, and place the tree at
the curb on your regular trash day. Be-
cause of the large number of trees to be
picked up, it may take the City one or
two days to pick up your tree.
Flocked trees are not recyclable.
The City will pick these up and dis-
card them in the landfill.

The holidays are over and Y2K is be-
hind us. Life is finally beginning to re-
turn to normal. It is time to reflect on
issues that are important to our com-
munity.
Despite our location within a sprawl-
ing metropolis, West U is an island
where a sense of security, serenity, and
decorum are important. An issue
closely related to this is traffic. Virtu-
ally everyone drives regularly. How we
drive impacts the people who live in the
neighborhoods through which we travel.
Our narrow, tree-lined streets and cozy
neighborhoods are factors which attract
people to our community. These same
streets also contribute to traffic prob-
lems.
One of the most significant traffic is-
sues in West U is speed. Many people
seem to consider speed limits as merely
advisory, and drive in excess of the lim-
its in the belief that law enforcement
officers will give them a cushion. Don't
bet on it! An established speed limit is
the maximum speed a person can travel
under the best circumstances. Any
change from optimum conditions means
that a prudent person should slow down.
In West U, the normal speed limit is 30
miles per hour. The high number of
vehicles parked on the streets and the
population density dictate that we travel
no faster. In areas where there is a
high likelihood of pedestrian traffic, par-
ticularly children, reduced speed zones
have been established. These zones
are clearly marked and strictly enforced.
Speeding is dangerous. To speed in
West U is risking a tragic accident.
Speeding is also inconsiderate. Every
time we drive, we are doing so in some-
body else's neighborhood - their home.
Please, drive safely and considerately.
Don't speed.
Thank you and be safe.

These leaders had many weighty mat-
ters to discuss. Their first and greatest
challenge was putting the town infra-
structure in place. Muddy streets de-
manded primary attention. The new
government was only one month old
when it approved the purchase of a road
drag for $30. In the next eight years,
they contracted with the gas and elec-
tric companies for service to the com-
munity, purchased a waterworks, and
began the police and fire departments.
Schlesinger and his commissioners di-
rected storm sewer construction, passed
ordinances regulating city affairs, built
a City Hall, and hired city employees as
needed. They also established postal
delivery, established tax rates and much
more.
The Council members began a tradi-
tion of service to their community that
continues to this day. Happy 75th Birth-
day, City Council of West U!

Safely Tips from the Neighborhood Safety Board - Jed Kenna, Chair
by Patrick Dugan, member
Special thanks to Lt. J. Tod Schneider
- - Currently, one of the most common forms of crime against
West U residents is auto burglary.
An auto burglar will most often choose a vehicle that is either unlocked or one
with valuables in plain view, and then break in through a window. A vehicle is
also more likely to be a target if it is parked in the street as opposed to a
driveway. Cellular phones, radar detectors, computers, briefcases and purses
top the list of items stolen from a burglarized vehicle.
You can significantly reduce the odds that you will be a victim of this
type of crime if you keep your car locked and never leave valuables in
plain view.
The profile of the auto burglar is a varied one. The individual might be a
professional thief, someone down on his/her luck, or an opportunist
biking or jogging through the neighborhood. In West U this type of d__.
thief tends to be younger, sometimes alone and sometimes in a group. 0
Consequently, if you see anything suspicious report it immediately
to the West University Place Police. Your instincts may be correct.

Delivery of the questionnaires in 2000
will depend largely on the accuracy of
the Census Bureau's address list and
detailed census maps that show where
the addresses are located. Five out of
six will receive a short form with just
seven questions instead of the form with
52 questions.
Subjects on the short form, announced
about two years ago, include age, sex,
race, household relationship and
whether the residence is owned or
rented. The long form also covers such
subjects as ancestry, bedrooms in hous-

Census 2000 includes just one new
subject, concerning grandparents as pri-
mary caregivers for their grandchildren.
This question was mandated by the 1996
Welfare Reform Act.
The questionnaires, featuring larger
type, pictures illustrating the benefits of
the census for individuals and their com-
munities, and instructions, are easy to
read and understand. Respondents may
request questionnaires in five languages
other than English - Spanish, Chinese,
Vietnamese, Tagalog and Korean.
Guides will be printed in about 49 lan-
guages.
Respondents are asked to list the
names of all the persons living in their
household on April 1, 2000. The forms
have room to report the full set of char-
acteristics for six persons. In addition,
the forms have space to report the names
of up to six additional household mem-
bers. The Census Bureau will contact
those households that list seven or more
persons.
