We noticed with interest the report in the Tol edo, Oregon, Lincoln County Leader, concerning the adoption of a new, streamlined city charter. The charter calls for an appointive City Manager, who will be the administrative head of the government and is chosen without regard to political considerations and solely with reference to his executive and administrative qual ifications.” His duties are many. He will act as purchasing agent, he will hire and fire city workers, he shall super vise the operation of public utilities, he shall see that all ordinances are enforced, and shall keep the council and mayor informed at all times on die conduct of the city Excellent. No community should be without such a man. We know that other cities, some not as big as Brookings, have hired city managers. Brookings is in an unique position. It is a new city and has some terrific hurdles ahead of it, in working out utility problems, in working out a street paving program, and in dozens of other lesser things. We advocate that some study be given to the poss ibility of acquiring a city manager here. We feel that the present duties of the mayor require too much time — without compensation. Those duties would best be served by a man hired by the city. We don’t necessarily advocate going out of town to hire such a man, if one can be found locally. We do think that the man should be something of an engineer, an administrator, and a diplomat. Such men don’t come cheaply, and the tax payers would have to shell out — but our opinion is! that, in the long run, it would pay many times overj in better city service. 5!

It is the former Driskel- Templer Hotel and was taken over by Earl and Echo Munson in January of 1950. Mrs. Mun son is Mi's. Baker’s daughter. The Munsons now reside in Sac J ramento. The hotel property covers one half city block with 16 hotel rooms, 8 motel units, 2 houses, 2 apartments and 2 business establishments. It was the head quarters for the U. S. Coast Guard during the war. When the Munsons took it over they had considerable re-modeling to do and at the time they had the building covered with new- siding. Ruby Baker is orginally from San Francisco.
