What the Peoples Mandate Means

THE plain mandate OF tuesdays council
manic primary is that tho Administrative
Board must go. The issue Of charter change
was raised, not by its friends, but by its
opponents Tho DOGGY Of ''ono-man" govern
nent failed TO scare tho voters, who want a
better run for their money than the present
complicated machinery at the City Hall is
giving them. City employees loudly pro-
claimed that some one was trying TO get the
city's utilities away from it. without men,
tioning that the charter requires submis-
sion OF such question TO the voters.
The Administrative Board has had it's fair
trial Created because of dissatisfaction
with the old committee system and its eau
less delays its division Of responsibility and
its antiQuated clumsiueSs, the board went
into Office With the brightest prospects. Had
1t graSpeG its opportunity, Richmond would
have commission government ana the
board would he tho commission all other

ployees into unit for it's perpetuation in
