VERYMUCHBETTERTHAN
PRESENTCHARTER
V ...
To the Editer:
Poriult me space to say n few words, 1 am n resident of Medford, very
heartily In favor of anything that would better our condition anil belloVe
the people should adopt the new e.hnrter. I have studied It carefully and
bellevo It to be very much bettor thnn the old one, ns It seems to me thin
under Its provisions the directors could give us a very much morn business
like administration than In possible under tho old one.
Wo should commend tho good work and the great anVlng to tho city
accomplished by the present city council, but would It not havo been pos
sible for thorn to hnv rendered n better service and a greater snvlng
under tho new charter?
I hnve heard a great deal said In condemnation of the charter hecauso
of the fact that the city manager need not he a resident nor taxpayer of
tho city, and a great many seem to tnko It for granted that that ho wilt
bo a non-resident. I think we should have moro confidence In tho mon
we might choose to servo on thli board. I am sure thero are very many
competent men for this position In our own city, such being the case, lu It
reasonable to suppose that one would be Imported?
In conclusion, I want to say a word In criticism of the Mall Tribune.
I ndmlre Its spirit of boosting for the things that would better Medford
and her citizens, but In Its zeal, I often think It says too much agiunit those
It opporca and In too sarcastic a manner. I refer In particular to tlm
term "Kent Hog Ticket." which. It says, would bo moro appropriate than
"Home Owners Ticket." J think such things tend lo prejudice a number
of the readers against the paper nnd cause them to vole against any
measure the paper may champion and causing Its many good Articles to
have less Influence.

EXPERIENCE PROVES VALUE NEW CHARIER
To the Killter:
Having had experience both as mayor and councilman, I take pleasurn
In recommending to the Medford voters tho new city charter. I sincerely
think the city manager system to be the only system of tho present age.
It has met with sutcess wherover II has bad a fair trial ami I .rust ttin
! good-thlnklng people of Medford will not turn It down.
