CITY BOARDS MAY
BE INDEPENDENT
Charter FreehoIders Reject Plan
for COunciImen to Sit on
AppOintive Bodies

OAKLAND, Sept S.-After discussing
the problem providing for an admin
istration OF parks, Fairgrounds, library
and museum which would be compat-
ible with the commission form Of gov
eminent. the charter freeholders viz
tUsIIy decided that coUncilmen should
not O. members of the boards appointed
for raeSe purposes.
The point was raised at the free
holders meeting by Albert II. Elliot,
who argued for a coordination between
the administrative and legislative body
o. tae city End the subsidiary, or exec
utive bodies. such as park commission
and library trustees. This could be
gained. he said. by defining the ap-
pointive commissions in the charter as
10 be composed Of one councilman and
four sppOintiVe members. The council
men, he held, would be cognizant of
sll activities OF the commission on
which he served, and would also have
full knowledge sof the finances. This,
in Elliots opinion, would prevent
confusion such as row arises, from
lack OF correlation OF the various di-
visions Of The municipal government.
APPOINTMENTS OPPOSED
Elliot raised his point when Harri-
son s Robinson submitted a section
y
trustees The library board in this
scheme was TO be appointed by the
mayor with the librarian as secretary.
Robinson opposed ElliOt's idea on
the ground thar politics would obtrude
10 the detriment of the public service
IN the sppOintive commissions. a vote
was taken. and an amendment sub
ritted by Elliot failed TO carry. But
81 that the freeholders arrived no
where, as the section was not tenta-
lively adopted, but was sent to com
nittee TO be condensed. Objection had
been made that the section went too
much into details.
SCHOOL RULES RETAINED
Superintendent of Schools J. w.
McClymonds appeared for the school
department. and secured the adoption
tentatively OF clauses providing that
the existing system Of hiring and dis
missing teachers should be retained
City Treasurer Edwin Meese at
tackled the financial scheme tentatively,
adopted, and was asked to draft clauses
embodying his idea. Meese held that
the city treasurer should be an elective
othcer, subject TO recall. instead of
appointed He declared that the section
providing for the deposit Of city funds
daily in banks. which would be re-
qulred 10 give heavy bonds, could not
be carried out because no bank would
accept the municipal account under
such conditions.
These matters viii be taken up again
by the freeholders this week.

Managing a Husband.

Men are like children; they want
managing, although you must never
let them dream that you think SO. No
child likes to be ordered about, no
man will endure coercion. But man
aging! 1t Is an art so subtle, SO elu-
sive, that few women understand even
the rudiments Of it. Sisters mine, let
us reason together, says Woman's
Life. In every human being there is
a spark of the divine; it is yours to
fan that spark into a f1ame-that Is
managing man-it Is to get the very
best out of him there is to have. and
not two women in ten can do 1t.
Do not think that there is anything
unworthy in managing man-to
bring out the best is high vocation.
Only let us see to it that we ars
worthy Of 1t. There are women who
have made angels of men, but at the
cost of their own divinity. There Is
room for more than one unselfish per.
son In family.
