Then dii-natinfnetion eamo over Mr. I.afky ai.'d bi;deiid of electing a commission it, the fight was Lnfky and anti-l.nf-Uy, re-ullitig in Uifky's defeat. This vH8 the first danger signal that np eared. in the new form of govern " merit. Fred R. Currey was selected as man nger two years ago and no lng as the remnants of the original plan pre vailed, giving the manager almost a j another free h.nm in oily work, things won well and La (irande ran smoothly. Mr. Currey p'ts-.essed some features importance that I-afky lacked, namely the powers of handling the public end of the work. Throughout lin adminis tration the civic life of the city was l;ejit active. In-n a prominent ehar avter viiA to bo entertained Mr. Cur rey did not pa .i the matter up to tin Commeicinl club, or some oilier organ ialion, but he got right out and a; the business pcp!e, at the ntim time making n't nriangeenmts for the oc casion. When the public event wa pulled off it was a success. No urn seemed to kn:iw ju -t why it was a suecc-s; no one scmed to care who made arrangements, ju l so they were made, hut all were pler.sed .to know that ou each occasion the city's part v;,s well dune. It was plainly ween that the city maiKif't- hud taken on i duty that relieved ..theis of much hard woik, niel it mm :d-o mutually agreed that this wink f-' to the office of limit for any man to peacefully hold i the manager's office, ami when the, election verified that belief he immedi-j ately entered a line of work which he hud long contemplatedthat of the lumber business, lie resigned as city manager several weeks ago and in do-; ing so he discontinued probably for nil time ivf come the study of municipal government?.
