(Continued from page 1)
Council Plan? (State briefly rea
sons for answer).
6. If under our present Mayor
Council Plan the mayor were
paid sufficient salary to make
the job a full time one, do you
think such a system would be
preferable to the proposed Coun
cil-Manager Plan? (State briefly
reaso"h for answer).
Those who returned the query
agreed unanimously on questions
numbered one through six. Smce
all thought the city would fare
better under the Council-Mana
ger plan their reasons were some
what similar. Here are some an
swers to question number live.
Councilor Ray Lancaster be
lieves: “A paid man could give
full time to the job. Work be
tween the departments could oe
coordinated and waste eliminat
ed thereby paying a managers
salary. Plans could be made tor
the future and work done with
that in mind to avoid duplication
and keep major changes to a
minimum”.
Councilor Jan Koslosky says.
“Unpaid mayor cannot devote
time necessary when source ot
income is more important tac
tor.” . ,
Mayor Charles Wilson stated.
“At present city employees have
no direct supervision. They need
it. Hiring and firing of employees
at present is too complicated. Mo
other business I know operates
without some paid supervision
armed with enough authority to
function.”
Former Councilman Gallant
added another -thought: “A paid
City manager will keep the city
budget in mind and control ex
penditures accordingly.”
Lucille Mick, former Council
or, observed: “Administration by
a council meeting every two
weeks results in complete ab- I
sorption with individual crises j
and no time for planning an in
ter-related and progressive city
operation. Public relations would
improve with a responsible full
time manager.”
In answer to question number
six; here are a few samples:
Councilor Lancaster said: “Mayor
is elected: Popularity takes pre
cedence over ability. Politics may
play too big a part. Mayor elect
ed for two years. Manager serves
during satisfactory service. May
or has no authority except by
order of the council and most
councilmen see only the work of
their own committees.”
Councilor Koslosky said: “I be
lieve a city manager would be
more apt to carry out the wishes
of Mayor and Council."
Mayor Wilson added his
thought: “It (full-time paid
mayor plan) would be better
than at present but if the city

council retains all authority as
at present he would not be able
to function. The city would still
have no head between council
meetings.”
A1 DeJulio, former Councilor
stated: “The actuality of elect
ing a qualified person to the of
fice of mayor is precluded by the
fact that it is an elective office.
Too many people vote for the
personality of the person, ignor
ing qualifications essential to ef
ficient administration. Manager’s
services can be terminated be
fore he bankrupts the city.”
Mrs. Mick replied to this ques
tion: “Council and mayor repre
sent the people and should con
trol policy, but few people are
qualified to handle all the intri
cate duties inherent in city man
agement. Fewer still could take
two years’ leave from a respon
sible job to act as a full-time
mayor. The city would suffer
from incompetency or political
bossisrn. Elected officials are vul
nerable to minority pressure
groups but a manager is better
able to consider the welfare of
the people as a whole.”
Betty Mears, former Councilor
and Mayor stated: “I do not like
the idea of a paid elected official
whose man qualifications would
>e personality instead of ability.”
