position. hut since that meeting | have
been discharging the duties of mayor
a sufficient length of time to correct
any bias which my views might have
acquired from consideration of the re-
lation of the mayor to the clerk, mere
ly from the standpoint of the latter.
Il take for granted that there can
be no questioning the fact that the
personal relations of two officials
whose duties i'll some phases of mu-
nicipal administration are as intimata
as are those of the mayor and city
clerk, should be friendly. That is me-
essary to insure the cooperation which
will tighten the burden of each, AMI
in the end viii not only enable each
to make the best showing in his sphere
of usefulness, but what is more i'm
portant, secure for the people the be;t
pended in the course of municipal ad-
ministration.
Clerks Serve Longer.
Il think it is a matter of common
observation that the terms of office Qf
the incumbents of the city clerkshin
are longer than those of men elected
to the mayoralty. That is no doubt
due to the fact that the city clerk is
not. called upon to decide questions
of policy upon which people natur-
ally take sides, and if he is efficient
diligent and honest as all clerks are

treasurer will be compelled to meet
in the future on account of its various
activities. This information naturally
must influence the mayors decision in
many matters, and the mayor if he Is
wise, will not only consult the clerk
on this account but he will also con-
fer with the clerk on matters of policy,
because the latter in his daily routine,
necessarily comes i'll contact with
many citizens and taxpayers, AMI
learns what they think of this or that
project which may be met In other
words, the mayor should not presume
that he is the whole works. or the
boss of the town. The clerk, in fact
Is as important factor in the munich
pal administration as is the mayor, and
indeed is more directly accountable
for keeping the municipal finances or
Il level keel than the mayor.
THE clerk is heavily bonded to in.
sure the proper collection and expendi-
ture of the citys funds, while the
mayor is not. Hence, it is only proper
that the latter should not initiate any
project which is likely to embarrass
the clerk in the conduct of his office,
and that, | think plainly suggests that
while each has his allotted duties AMI
! responsibilities, these duties and re-
sponslbilities are interdependent. and
will be made easier by friendly CO.
operation. Such cooperation. as |
have said before is not only conducive
of the good results for the individual
official, and should therefore be cu!
tivated by the mayor for selfish rea-
sons, if he is not actuated by the con-
sideration that it is demanded by thu
best interests of the people in the dis
patch of their municipal business"

it naturally follows that he is not con-
fronted, every time he comes up for
reelection by new elements of citizens
with such real or fancied grievances
course by the best and most patriotic
purposes, must necessarily arouse iE
the course of his administration. Of
the nature and variety of these pos
sible grievances, you all have knowl-
edge and it is not necessary to refer
to them in detail.
in brief, the official relations of the
mayor and clerk might very aptly be
likened to those which exist betweeIi
the outside man, and the Office man
of a business firm. The mayor being
the outside man, must suggest the
new policies and new business of the
municipal corporation, as well as COLI
serve and promote its existing inter
ests. In both respects the coopera-
ton of the clerk is important. In the
former particularly projects involving
expenditures of money, consultation
with the clerk is essential. Unless
he is in unusually close touch with
the financial affairs of the municipal
ity the mayor cannot be expected to
have the exact knowledge of the finan-
cial status of the corporation which
must be possessed by the efficient CITY
clerk who practically is entrusted with
the purse strings of the corporation.
