Study of Charter
Advised by Loar
Planning Council Head
Says Objections
Can Be Met
SILVERTON Dr. P. A. Loar,
president of the Sllverton plan
ning council which fathered the
proposed new city charter to be
voted upon In May, at a meet
ing last night urged all planning
council members to make a
thorough study of the new chart
er.
"Opponents," said Dr. Loar,
"are already telling that this or
that Is Included in the new chart
er, or that the new charter will
do so and so to the city. We
must famillalze ourselves so
thoroughly that we know exactly
what it will do. Most of us do
know, for we have studied It for
the past two years. We are told
that Sllverton Is too small a town
for a manager form of govern
ment. However, we are within
the population list of towns
which have most of the city man
agers. The criticism Is advanced
that the manager will be just an
added expense. The answer Is
that many other salaries can be
saved. It costs more to run this
city yearly than it does some
cities much larger."
A mass meeting will be held
for early May at which time the
public will have an opportunity
to ask any questions it wishes. It
was announced at the Tuesday
night meeting of the council.
Tom Anderson, F. E. Sylvester
and R. B. Renwlck were made a
committee to Investigate putting
a bridge across Silver Creek from
the park to the pool.
