MAY CHANGE
MODE Of CITY
GOVERNMENT
TALK OF AMENDING THE CHAR
TER, REDUCE THE NUMBER OF
ELECTIVE OFFICERS AND PAY
SALARIES SUITABLE WITH JOB.

There is considerable talk anon
city officials and others nj ou. amend
ing the city charter and Placing The
manner of governing the CITY ~ an
altogether ailr::'rt basis fem VIA;
it is at present, and unless all signs
fail the citizens are going to have the
matter to decide before another in
coming administration takes hold OF
affairs. The proposed change briefly
stated is as follows:
To have three commissioners cleo
ted by the people, one of whom will
act as mayor, to pay two of the com
missioners $1,S00 annually and the
Chairman of the board, or the mayor,
which ever he be designated not less
than $2,100. These three men would
be charged with the management of
every department of the city govern
ment, would hire and fire every man
connected in any capacity from the
chief of police and fire chief, to the
scavenger, when it was shown that
they were not delivering the goods.
In other words to be the three men
who decide all matters for the period
of their term of office which is sug-
gested to be four years instead of
two years. This is bordering closely
upon the city manager plan or the
Dayton idea so called because Dayton
was the first city to adopt the plan,
and would forever eliminate politics
from municipal affairs
The three commissioners would be
supposed to give their entire time to
their office and should be men of
enough business capacity to handle
seven million dollar corporation as
that is what Ardmore at the present
time represents. In discussing the
salary question one prominent busi-
ness man stated that in his opinion
the above figures were too low, that
such men should be the best business
men available and they could not be
secured for such an amount as set
forth above. AS an illustration he
cited Dayton where the manager re-
ceives a salary of $4,000 per year.
however, the salary question could
easily be arranged If the charter is
amended to fit the ideas advanced.
The question has been quietly agi-
tated by a few people for some time
and is gradually meeting with popular
favor by all who have given the mat
ter any thought. The salaries OF the
city officials at present under the
charter now in force are joke. yet
the citizens seem to think that the
should give their en-
tire time and manage seven million
dollar corporation for $500 per
month.

BE MORE CAREFUL WITH
GLASS, NAILS AND TACKS.

There is a well defined roar going
up from motorists all over the city
for the careless manner in which
builders allow old shingles and lum-
Der filled with nails to accumulate
on the streets where building opera
tions are in progress there increasing
the number of punctured tires in the
city many fold.
The automobile association may file
written protest with the city COM
missioners if the practice is not dis
continued as the danger from this
cause is making tire repair men work
overtime.
There is another practice that the
police are watching. very closely and
the first one caught in the act will
pay heavy fine, and that is the prac-
tice of smashing glass on the pave
ments. Glass is a serious menace to
pneumatic tires and the first indivi-
dual who is caught smashing a bottle
or any other glass article on the
street will be made an example of.
