lMnTVPOlvP MATTj-TRTBUNE. MKDFOlvD. OlMXiOX, MONDAY, JULY 7, IttSQ.
'The iicy council arm of govern
ment has outlived its usefulness
urn Medlord is missing a progres
Hive step if it fails to take up the
commission manager from of gov
ernment, Judge V. K. Chews, a
nienibor of the citizen's comlttee
appointed by Acting Mayor E. M.
Wilson a short time ago to study
nnd submit a report on this form
of government, told members of
tlio Kiwanis club at noon luncheon
today. The committee has sub
mitted its report to the city coun
cil, favoring the change, but the
council does not plan to take ac
tion unless such proceedure ', is re
quested by citizens.
The weaknesses of the city cSun
ell method were recited by the
speaker for'cities over 10.0UU pop
ulation. He paid a tribute, how
ever, to the high type of govern
ment Mcdford has had in the past
and the method in which the busi
ness was handled. Judge Crews
declared other cities in Oregon
have profited by the new plan and
set forth Astoria, La Urunde, Dend
and Oregon City where the meth
od has proven to be of advantage.
. The speaker explained that the
commission is composed of three
members elected by the people of
the city, who are subject to recall
ut any time. The three commis
sioners are to hold meet'.ngs twice
a month and receive $10 apiece for
each session. It . is the power of
the commission to employ the best
man obtainable to act as manager,
giving him full control of the city
and placing him in direct charge of
every department, the heads of
which are responsible' to him for
their offices.
The manager would receive from
$350 to $1110 per month and must
make a public report every moll Hi
of expenditures. If his work is un
satisfactory, he can be removed
from the office by the commis
sion without ceremony. Likewise
(ho manager can remove any city
official frpm office without cere
mony. The city manager also pre
pars the annual budget. These
features are past of the plan drawn
up by the citizens committee but
the mayor and a number of the
councilmen are opposed to various
details.
Upon the completion or .ludce
Crows's speech, City Councilman
Kobert Hammond declared the
commission form of government is
u necessity, but Indicated that if
Mine pressure was not brought to
hear on that body, the city council
did not plan to take any action on
the matter. Tentative plans would
havo the commission form of gov
ernment up for election next Nov
ember. 1
