CITY GOVERNMENT
DEBATES TERMINATE
AT MEETING TONIGHT
Opposing Korcr In Meet for Liut
Time on Mnnngcrlnl nml
Counrllmanlc Forms
Whether Klamath Fall, will hare
a change In the method of city for
ernment during tho next year or
two may bo determined it the
chamber of commorco tonight whea
mombern of the city couctlt will at
tempt to defend tbo prmQt city
rbartAr nml rntlnrltmnnte tulwl l of

nger plan, which will be sponsor rd
by H. I). Newell, E. II. Hall, R. H.
Dunbar and W. A. Dehell. Thy
will bo oppospd by W. O. Smith,'
Judge I,cavltt and M. A. West.
Tho meeting will termlnato tbo
study group In city government,
which ban had four meetings In
tho last two months, and tboto who
havo been following tho discussions
aro very much Interested In tho re
sult of tonight's session.
Thu financial report of tho city,
presented by M. S, West soma time
ago, has been given closo scrutiny
by the opponents of tho present
plan, and It la expected that a largo
part of the argument will bo bated
on the present financial conditions'
of the city. It is expected alto
that New ell's delegates will atteapt
to prove that the present city gov
ernment Is a relic ot anclsnt tinea,
and far Inadequate to rawt artiit
day problems." -'!"t tharg4-fcr
advocates of a chaogo from the
present system at the last mooting
that It Is impossible to run a $4,
000,000 corporation on an efficient
basts when tbo board ot directors,
or tho city council, only meets once
a week, and are too swamped with
routlno matters to work out any
program of reform.
On the other hand, the city coun
cil will likely contend that It would
he too much of n gamble to discard
the present plan of government for
soma "new-fangled" Idea that Is,
at the most, not older than eight-
or ten years. Tbey aro also ex
pected to advance the theory that
the con of an efficient city man
ager Is too expeaslvo for a com
munity of thin site to attempt, and
that ho would bo unable to effect
a saving when hi, salary was tak
en Into consideration.
Tho meeting tonight Is looked
upon by buslnods men n tbo most
Important event for financial re
form that has been hold for some
time, and consldorablo Interest ha
been manifest lu thu debate.
PAVING QUESTION UP
Members of City Council and C. of
t CoiumltUt Hold Meeting
Whether thoro will bo nny fur
ther paving until the financial con
dition of tho city has Improved, was
tho tubjoct of a meeting last night
ot tho city council and a chamber
ot commorco committee composed
ot J, A. Gordon chairman, H. A.
Moo. i:. M. llubb, Ed Martin and
A. J. Voye.
While opinion wag divided on the
question, It was agreed that an
amendment Is necessary to tho city
charter ut thu May primaries by
which tho city would bo permitted
to create a revolving fund to bid in
property at sate on account ot
deltnquont paving assessment. Uy
tho plan proposed tho city would
bo permitted to issuo bonds from
time to time, ns tho need arose,
thus enabling It to provide funds
to buy tho property.
A letter stating the financial con-
clpal losor was the Coast Leath
riltlon ot tho city, algned by tho
mayor and council, will be mailed
to residents within a few days.
