commendation to the Air Base
Fire Department for their able
assistance in our recent fire.
Mr. R. Webb told the Chamber
he was in favor of a City Manager
plan, a building code, a change in
the tax structure, and a separation
of the police and fire departments.
The city manager, he stated,
should be responsible only to the
City Council. He further stated
that the City Council is composed
of working men like ourselves,
and must of necessity take care of
their own business first. This is
not sufficient to do justice to city
business. In conclusion he said,
the city should also own all its
utilities in order to have enough
income to operate for the protec
tion of its citizens.
Mr. Harper moved the Chamber
go on record favoring the separa
tion of the city police and fire de
partments and the Volunteer Fire
Department be given training
necessary to carrying out their
duties. Carried.
Mr. Polet moved the Chamber
adopt a resolution favoring a city
manager plan. Motion carried.
Mr. Mitrovich stated the would
invite the city council, fire chief
j Brown of the city department,
Fire Chief Huxley of the Army1
! Base Fire Department, and other
| interested officials, to attend the
| next chamber meeting Tuesday,
