Is circulating petitions now to have his name placed on the ballot for election to a four-year term In the olfico. He was appointed lo replace 15ob Elder, who resigned, and who In turn had been appointed to succeed the lute Leigh Ackerman, the last elected police Judge. Last Mav Klamuin Falls voters okayed a system whereby persons desiring to run for city office could uie cnnciiciacies by payment oi a filing fee, rather than the old meth od ol circulating petitions. now- evor, Blackmer has chosen to get on the ballot by petition. TREASURER A ballot measure, also voted upon In May, would have abolished Uie job of city treasurer, but the measure was defeated.

The police judge gels $336 a month, the treasurer 1175, FALLS, OltKOON, TUESDAY, JULY 29, 195J "11 the mayor $175 and councilmen $24 a mouUi. The position of treasurer, the way it is handled, is part time; the job of being mayor of Klamath Falls is supposed to be part time but the way it works out now is virtually full time work and then some, entailing many night meeC ings and considerable official trav el. At $175 a month,-the field from which Klamath Falls can draw a mayor is tightly limited. Tlie occupant of the office either has to have a paying business which he can let run itself, as does Mayor Thompson, or be independ ent and retired, as was Ed Osten dorf, who preceded Thompson in Uie office. COUNCILMEN . . . ' City councilmen " are paid $6 a meeting for the four regular Coun cil meetings a month, and. get noth ing for the various other sessions. One member, Darrell Miller, esti mated Uiat If he actually got mound to attending to all the meet ings of this and that he is sup posed to, there would be at least ono a day. Last May there was a ballot pro posal up to raise the pay of Klam ath Fnl!.' chief executive to $500 a month from the $175. By the time the voters got through with that one it went down In history, so to speak without leaving a trace. There hasn't been any1 talk of raising the pay of councilmen. At any rate, there are places open on the ballot this fall for per sons wanting to do their civic duty at short pay and long hours. Deadline for filing Is Aug. 20.

The City Council last night In structed Attorney Henry Perkins to draw up an ordinance to that ef fect for presentation next Monday night. As matters have stood since the middle of May, this eity'and sev eral others in the state have been on daylight time, the county and slate generally on standard time, and confusion the result. On the November state ballot there is to be a measure which, if adopted, would outlaw any but standard time in the entire state. California has daylight time during the summer months by vote of the people, and that state resumes standard lime Sept. 28.
