are very happy that they did.
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.

been under the management of
Mrs. Ruby Baker since July of
1952. 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.
