PLAN IS WINNING FAVOR
City Manager Plan Adopted by
801 Cities in less Tban'SO
Years ; Found Practical "
In Application
T. A. Idvesley, candidate for
mayor of Salem, put forward in
his ' official program a proposal
tor the creation of a city manager
or commission form of . govern
ment as one of the objectives of
his administration in. , case' .he Is
elected. That proposal has brought
forth strong commendation.' ! t
Originating less than a score ef
years ago, the. city manager form
of government has ."spread to In
clude, 361 cities and towns, com
prising more than 5,000,000 per
sons.' " These municipalities ' range: In
8fie from Cleveland, , Ohio, W Me
Cracken, Ksas.WIth 4 9 1 popur
ls'tloV at ihe ' last - census. ' Only
a few of , these cities haviifg adbpi
ed .the plan have turned back to
an older form of municipal govern
ment according tov a. survey . re
cently' cdinpleted by ' .Walter J lint-
scheck, director of the, public, aer-
vice Institute of ; Kansas j City,
which' has just adopted the plan.
""For some time tne proposal to
change tne government of the city
of Salem along the. jnpre progres
sive business lines incorporated in
the commission or city . manager
plan has gained lncreasng popular
ity, and comes up favorably as an
issue on Friday." i - i
Mr. Livesley Is a man of sub
stantial business Interests which.
while . not Interfering with his
duties as mayor for one term.
would, nevertheless, tend to. give
him a free hand in preparing for
a change from the present system
of mayors to the more business
like form of government.
Friends of Mr. Livesley point
out that while he is equipped to
give the city a good administra
tion as mayor, he is equally capa
ble of paving the way for a. con
crete proposal for the adoption of
a city manager or commission
form of government ' at a future
date-. i . . f i' jU- --

Aldermen who, at the council
meeting Monday night, sought to
defeat ..Mayor J. B. Giesy's, veto
of the ordinance granting. . the
street commissioner a raise in pay
from the first ot the year are the
victims of their own motion.
This revelation 'was made just
after the council meeting upon an
examination of the city's laws 'by
Mayor Giesy. ; The, opinion that
the motion, had automatically sus
tained the mayor's veto was con
firmed by Fred Williams, city at
torney.
..After the mayor had read his
reasons for vetoing the ordinance.
Alderman W. W.' Rosebraugh
asked how many ; councilmen It
would take to override the veto.
He was informed . that it would
take a full two-thirds of the entire
council.
Thereupon Alderman Rose
braugh moved that the matter be
laid on the table, until the, next
meeting of the council. He gave
as his reason that the council was
not fully represented at the met
ing. Apparently the matter had been
merely postponed. But. an exam
ination of the city's code brings
out the following:
"Upon the first meeting of the
council after the. return of. an or
dlhance from. .the mayor', the bill
Is again put upon its passage, and
if two-thirds of all members, of the
council vote in favor of the bill,
It shall become a law without the
approval of the mayor, but "not
otherwise." Y
That phrase, ."upon ,th- first
meeting" after the return of an
ordinance, means that the ordi
nance involved must be acted upon
in that manner. In any other case
the veto is naturally sustained.
because of the words, "not other
wise." ; ' : -
As far as the ordinance Involv
ed is concerned, it is definitely de
feated. The only recourse alder
men who wish to press the matter
have Is to bring in a new ordi-

May 17, 1926. ;
Oregon Statesman,
Salem, Oregon.
Gentlemen: On behalf of the
Zoning commission, I respectfully
submit to you herewith a state
ment of the views of the members
of the Salem Planning and Zon
ing commission relative to the ob
jects and fuctlons of the com
mission. All ot the members of the com
mission are very busy persons who
are, nevertheless, willing to de
vote any .reasonable amount of
time to the. commission's activi
ties, and on the basis of .a conser
vative estimate, they will collect
ively DONATE to the city a min
imum of 1 5000 worth of their
time dutins. the next three years,
provWed. the balance ot the'cltl
Kens are willing to contribute $15
000 in cash as their share Of the
expense of carrying out the work
of the commission.
Technical help and advice must
be purchased by the city, under
the direction of the commission,
as .may be dictated by the best
Judgment of the members of the
commission, and the citizens are
asked to trust the commission as
they do their city council, to spend
the funds thus provided to the
best interests of the city.
Reference . was. .made in your
edition of yesterday morning to
a sum of $3000 to be spent an
nually as a salary for the Zoning
commission's secretary, and $2,
000 to meet Incidental expenses of
the , commission.
The proposed measure making
a levy of .3 of .a mill for the city
Planning and Zoning commission's
f und- does not stipulate how the
approximately $5000 which the
levy will raise, shall be spent, for
the reason that np one can tell
at . this . time In detail what the
necessary items of expense will
be, on account of the unprecedent?
ad nature of the work In this' city.
XfAn near as the commission can
determine, at this time,. It will
probably employ an ENGINEER
at a- salary of approximately $250
per month to do the .preliminary
engineering work, and after he
has completed this task, a highly
trained and' specialized expert, at
a mnch higher salary, Vwlll prob
ably be engaged tor a few months
to round out-and complete the
Work of the first, engineer. It
will also probably be necessary to
employ a draftsman and a steno
grapher, at least for, ajart of the
(CoaUa4oa,pf 4.). ,
