WOULD ELECT ONE MEMBER
OF BOARD EACH YEAR

Thomas 3. McAdams, citizen member
of the committee, offered an amend
mcnt providing fer the lengthcning OF
the term OF the Administrative Board
members TO five years and for the cleo
tion OF one member each year AZ
present members of the board arc
elected FOR four-year terms.
MIR McAdams explained that it was
the object Of his amendment to make
each member of the board come before
the people for reelection on his own
merits. Under the present system, the
vacancies occur in couplcts at two
thirds OF the elections. In practice
said Mr.. McAdams, the two members
up for reelection find il advantageous
TO pool their interests. Under these
circumstances. he said. the stronger OF
the two candidates supports the weaker
and both are reelected.
BY lengthening the term TO five
years, said Mr.. McAdams. ii will be
possible 10 elect one member Of the
board each ycar--a system which will
focus public attention on his own
merits. 1T would be easier. he thought
under the system provided by his
amendment. to retire weak member
from office and replace him with a more
efficient man.
