As of today there were no avowed
takers for the several city Jobs
which will be subject to election
in Movomoer.
City voters this fall will choose s

uirce members ot the city council.
Prank Blackmcr, who was ap

petitions now to have his name

He was appointed lo replace 15ob

desiring to run for city office could

on the ballot by petition.

measure was defeated. The term of

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

cil meetings a month, and. get noth

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.
