It is my firm opinion that the
time has come for the City of Sew
ard to consider the city manager
form of government.
In these days of rapid develop
ment. with sewers, water, pave
ment, hospital, and additional fa
cilities for schooling facing the tax
payer's. there is too much to be
done by an unpaid mayor and
council. A man on salary, with his
entire day devoted to city business,
would save the amount of his pay,
not to mention a speed-up of all
projects.
Another advantage in having a
manager rather than a salaried
mayor, is that his office could be
vacated if the council wanted to
fire him, w here an elected officer
cannot be impeached without court
proceedings.
The subject has been nisrussed
among the councilmen and most
of them seem to be in favor of the
cit> manager plan. Several colleges
are turning out brilliant young men
these days, fully equipped with a
knowledge of municipal lav.- an 1
municina! business manage neat A
$412 million business coroorarirn.
which is actually what the City of
Seward is. deserves a better man
agement than the elected council
and mayor can give it. Ea< h mem
ber of the council and the movor
under our set-up, has his own
business to atfend to. N* nv tier
how willing thev may be. roe- how
able, it is too much to rx:nmt < f
anyone, to devote full time to the
city without remuneration
Other cities, in the Ter Tr>ry and
many in the States,, have adopted
the manager plan. This still pro
vides for an elected mayor and
council, but relieves that body of
the actual person to person content
with important business, although
they are still reoensib’e ‘o the
people for business transactions.
This is another “something to
think about."

FUEL SYSTEMS
Recently a good airplane was
ruined as the result of a forced
landing following a take-off. The
gas tanks and indicators of
airplane were placarded ag;
take-offs with the fuel level b<
t he led area of the gauge. The
does not feed properly in a c
when this low. The gas levo
this case was either just abov
just below the line, but the i
took off on the left tank, and 1
his left wbng low to “offset \
drift.” The combination caused
starvation.
Several seaplane pilots have
into the same thing. They mal
step-turn and get wound up for
take-off. If the fuel selecto
turned to draw gas from a \
tank which is on the outside of
turn, the engine has a nasty 1
of quitting just when it is nei
most, that is, after leaving
water.
The centrifugal force of the
slopes the gas away from
drains, so the take-off is contir
on what remains in the carbur
