City Manager Forum Monday "Build the Basin" on Monday evening turns to what appears to be the most talked about city is sue at the moment. The question for the public serv ice radio forum will be: - "Should Klamath Falls now adopt the council-manager form of government?"

A ballot proposal to increase the mayor's salary to S500 a month was soundly defeated; most of the opposition leveled at the measure seemed to be' based on the idea that Uie city needs a city manager rather than a full-time mayor., At least two and maybe three "Build the Basin" forums will be staged on the city manager ques tion; the matter's Importance and many angles preclude tne possi bility of adequate coverage on a single lorum program. The . Monday evening program goes on Uie air over KFLW at 8:30 p.m., Monday. As usual. It will be an audience participation event. Listeners may phone In questions or comments during the program.
