Petitions Circulate For Manager Plan ' Petitions are now being clrcu- iated to place the county councll- manager charter amendment proposition before the voters in l..May. ?' George H. Todd, chairman of the Lane County Council Manager i Plan Committee, Thursday an il nounced that petition circulators arc working for a goal of 5000 signatures before March 14. UNDER THE Oregon initiative ;.system of law-making, that num i ber of signatures would be ade quate to bring about a county' wide vote on the council-manager plan. Proponents of the plan want to revise the county's system of administration, setting up a coun cil of elected area representatives as policy makers in place of the county court and providing for a county manager as the chief ad ministrator responsible for carry ing out the council's policies. Thursday, Todd stated that a number of the petitions are al ready in the hands of volunteer circulators, but others are avail able for persons wishing to aid in the initiative campaign. The petitions may be obtained by calling Todd at 5-6783 or by writing to him at 229 Medical Center Bldg., Eugene. A copy of circulators' instructions will be mailed out with each petition form. URGING that circulators speed the return of completed petitions, Todd explained that this would facilitate both the work of the council-manager committee and courthouse officials responsible for checking the adequacy of the petitions and the authenticity of voters' signatures upon them. Until the petition phase of the campaign is completed, he added, the committee will not undertake to provide speakers in any at tempts to argue the merits of the council-manager plan. "We want to be sure," he said, "that the is sue is going to the voters before we meet the opposition m de-i bates."
