Cream advances will be made to correspond. - Condensarles Raise Offers . .The milk . control board , said condensarles la the state hare ad vanced the price they win paf for milk above the prices being paid ' to- producers of Grade B milk for the bottle and can trade. Many farmers informed the board they would seek this market unless a price increase was granted. - - The board pointed out that a price Increase rwas asked by pro- - Queers -last September and was ' more widely demanded later in I October when, an unusual freeze occurred. Not' until the board had gathered evidence extensively did f it justify an increase In price. I - Fat Price Advance ' Prices paid to producers, the board said. have advanced from l&Zh cents .pound for hutterf at to 58 cents per pound. ? An Interesting fact brought out t by the house to bouse surrey, ac cording to the board, was that . consumers, are bow buying a greater quantity of milk than a year ago -and . the - majority of Portland housewives consider .milk the most economical of ail foods. This confirms recent statements made by government authorities and consumers organizations that milk has advanced less than, any ether food commodity In -this sec tion. ' - - ; ln the face of .advancing prices- ef all ether commodities dur ing the past year, the milk control board "retrained from authorising in increase in the price of milk but on the other hand in July ac tually reduced the price of milk delivered to homes from 11 cents to 10 tents .per quart, said Ed-gar- W. Smith, Portland, chair man. "The . present action of the b a r dy therefore, restores this price to the average consumer .nut will bring about better returns to the dairy farmers is this area and should assure en adequate supply ct "the present high- quality milk now belng : offered . in, .Portland. - This- increase in income of Grade B producers will be reflected many times over' la their greater purchasing power of all Klines in this particular area." . ' - ? 7 Schedule May Spread .

V o t e r s elect seven aldermen one tor each ward instead ot two. The vo ters name a mayor, who presides over tha council and represents tha city in public affairs but has only nominal duties tn adminis tering the business of the city. They elect a ponce judge, xne council la turn elects a city man ager, and through him other, city officers are picked the city treasurer, the purchasing agent, the chief ot police and the fire chief, tha latter two subject to present civil service regulations. If the council finds Its city man ager Inefficient, he can -be dis charged, after 15 days' notice and a bearing. Tha council in turn cannot interfere between the man ager and the men under him; the administrative workers of the city are responsible te the manager; the manager Is responsible to the council. Instead of city's business being anybody's business, it becomes a centralised business with one man eager to make a better showing in service rendered his constituents and at the same time keep costs down. - Will Improve Service, Claim None of the advocates ot a city manager system declare it will necessarily reduce city costs. They say it should; that whatever sum Is determined upon as his pay can readily be paid In savings in costs of city government. If costs should not drop, however, citizens would receive better service in all de partments of city government: there should be good spirit and coordination and efficiency i in the administrative setup and the city would profit thereby. - One of the advocates ot the city manager form of government declare it will be. acceptable It a poor man is chosen. The key to the system Is a good manager. Where cities have hired excellent managers the plan has worked ad mirably; if a waak, ineffective man baa been chosen the manager plan has not been satisfactory. There can be no question that tha present system of Administer ing city affairs through "It alder men, none of whom "can spend more than a fraction ot his time on executive affairs, Is not one which produces efficiency. The mayor, if he ba ambitious for a good city gorernmenlrand willing to work, is overburdened with de tails which should ba handled by a full-time municipal offieer. City rovernment 1 a e k s coordination; friction between departments i is Inevitable and is reflected in the ambitions of council groups for the development of the depart ment under their control. j Plan Successful In Other Citiee "j Salem can well afford to test the manager system. Its : govern ment takes the largest single por tion of the taxpayers' dollar. Lo cal citisens who have- given their best to city government , declare the centralization of administra tive' affairs needed in this conn m unity. The' experience " of othern cities under the manager plan has been very satisfactory in Oregon as has ' the experience of nearly 600 communities v in " the United States. ' The manager's :. position should not be treated as an addi tion to' city .payroll jMt should re-i suit la considerably . lessened out go in city fnds because of the administrative efficiency' a man ager; win : bring to: the v city, ilf costs to not decrease, service should v. increase. Tha ..manager plan deserves an affirmative vote.
