Amendment for Managerial
Form of Government Ap

Following the utmnlmoiiH appro
val last night of the proponed
amendment to the city char tor to
provide for a commiHHioner-mun-ager
form of city government, qh
prepared hy n Huh-commlttee, the
h pcial committee appointed hy
Acting Mayor K. M. WIIhoii re
cently, two m mil her 8 of which
were not proKont, the next step in
the movement (o bring about thiH
radical change In Modford's mu
nicipal government Ih piohlemat
ical. ,
At hint night's committee meet
ing, where the BUb-coinmlttee, oon-
HiutliiK of Councilman J. C. Collins
and Judge W. 10. Crews submitted
itH draft of the proponed amend
ment, the committee also approved
the plan of the sub-com mittee,
which had also drawn up the form
of petition to have the amendment
Hithmltted to the votera of the city
at a special election on October
Int.
According to tills plan If the
amendment carried at the speclnl
election, candidates for the three
aoinmlmdoners would have until
October 2Sth to file for those jobs,
and the people would vote on the
matter at next fall's election. Then
the new form of government would
be Inaugurated on January 2nd
next.
Acting Mayor Wir.im OIiJitIk
However, Councilman and Vice
Mayor 15. M. Wilson, who is the
head of the city administration in
Mayor A. v, JMpetV absence from
the city, doeH not fuvor this meth
od of proceed ure and urges that
Inasmuch as the proposed change
Is a very Important one It should
be given very careful study, and
above all should be submitted to
the elly council for discussion and
further study so as to have it as
near perfect an possible; and for
that body to formally pass upon
the measure before submitting It
to a vote of the people.
It has long been a well known
fact that Mayor IMpes and all the
eouncilmen are in fuvor of a
commlHsloncr-mumiger form of
government of same kind. There
are various types of that kind.
Acting Mayor Wilson, who was
present for a short time at last
night's meeting declared this noon
that he did not agree with all the
features of the amendment as
drawn by the KUtwommlttep In
fact was opposed to several uf
them, und that further study and
deliberation might develop more.
However, he commended the earn
estness and good fulth of the sub
committee in their arduous work
of preparation, but thought the
matter should be given to Mayor
Hi pes and the city council for most
careful further deliberation and
action on the proposed measure
before being submitted to the peo
ple, either by the direct petition
method or by council resolution, to
bring about the special election. I
J-'uvoi-h rivo Members
Acting Mayor Wilson's chief ob-i
Jectlon is that he favors a commis
sion of five members instead of
three, as the sub-committee plan
provides. According to the Intter
plan the three commissioners and
the municipal Judge would be
elected by the people, and the
commissioners- in turn would ap
point a city manager, who would
appoint all heuds of departments.
Mr. Wilson holds thut u board of
five commissioners would be more
representative thun a bourd of
three.
Then, too, he lw opposed to the
city manager naming all heuds
of departments and declares that
the commissioners should them
selves appoint the city recorder
and city treasurer, along with the
city manager and municipal Judge,
insteud of the manager himself
filling these two important offices.
In view of Mr. Wilson's objec
tions expressed above, it Is prob
able that the matter of the meth
od of further procedure will await
the arrival home of Mayor Pipes
today and tomorrow, and when
be arrives, the eouncilmen and
committee will probably confer as
to the next move to be made,
Tho brief outline of the sub
committee's draft of (he proposed
amendment published by The
Mail Tribune the other day, did
not state the compensation of the
commissioners. The draft, pro
vides that each will draw $ 10 for
each meeting he attends. The
city manager would not be paid
for attending meetings, other than
his regular salary, which will be
decided upon by the commission
ers, if the new government plan
goes through. j
The , members of the special
committee named by Acting May
or Wilson are the following: J.!
C. RurneB, W, W. Allen, C. A;
Meeker. J. A. Perry, T. W. Miles,
J. C. Collins' nnd Judge W. B.

The thing for which ho was
most thankful, he snld, was that
