CITY MANAGER PLAN PUTS
HAYS ON A BUSINESS BASIS
Kansas Town Adopts City Manager
Plan and Budget System to
Handle Finances.

For the first. time in the history of
Hays a mass meeting was called to
meet with the city commissioners to
consider the adoption of budget for
the ensuing year The city manager
explained item by item what he had
spent and what he will spend during
the next twelve months and showed
how the mill tax levy will be ap-
portioned to take care of each di-
vision of the city's business.
The meeting was one of give and
take-questions were fired back and
forth. Some startling revelations in
the manner in which business has
been handled in the past were
brought to light
J. C. Manning, city manager, show
ed that the estimated cost of electri-
city per kilowatt was .0569. This was
the basis on which the previous city
administration thought it had pro-
duced electricity. Manning showed,
however, that it had actually cost
.0795. Before the city manager
took charge the city sold electricity
to the consumers at Is cents per kilo-
watt and still ran $500 behind on
each years business, which had to be
made up by taxation.
Manning also showed that the city

had lost each year SO, 400 on it's water
department; altho the city, accord
ing to its own figures, had been pro-
ducing it's water at about one-third
what it charged the consumers.
Manning has begun to put the light
and water departments on basis
of efficiency. One of his recon-
mendations was that the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, the Fort
Hays Normal School and the Fort
Hays experiment station be notified
that they will have to pay the regular
light and water rates. These three
institutions have been paying one
third the regular rates, about 3 cents
less than it costs to produce.
When Manning came here two
months ago as city manager he
found that there were over $4,000
in unpaid electric light accounts.
He has collected all of this except
$3.50 from one delinquent, and dur
ing the month of July every light
and water bill was paid on time
the first time in the history of Hays
that such thing has taken place.
Manning told the mass meeting
that for about six years the city had
been running behind on it's expenses
about $25, 900, on which it had to pay
6 per cent interest and no provision
was being made to meet this indebt-
edness and no one really seemed to
know anything about it. He placed
in the budget a small special mill
tax levy to take care Of this handi-
cap and the citizens readily agreed
to it. Under the present budget
system no such thing can take place
in the future.
Despite the increase in the State,
national and county taxes, the
budget system levy for Hays under
the city manager plan will only be in
creased from 1.56 to 1.60.

TALK ABOUT LUCK

The Journal family had water
melon for dinner last Friday, and
here is how it happened. J. M.
Mingle, the merchant was taking
some groceries and several water
melons along, and just as he was
opposite our door a big melon was
jostled off and split open as nice as
it could have been done with a knife.
Not wishing to get his groceries mus
sed up, he brought it to the door and
made us a present Of it. We shall
watch pretty closely after this and we
may get another one, for we have
added a little to the depth of the
ditch that coused the wreck.-Man-

HELLO"

With clamp on her head like a cage
for her hair,
She sits all the day on a stiff little
chair
And answers the calls that come over
the wire
From people of patience and people
of ire,
And number" she queries of noble
or churl-
A wonderful voice has the tele-
phone girl.
She has to be pleasant, and hustling
and keen,
With a temper unruffled and ever
serene,
There are forty-five things she must
think of at once
Or some rough subscriber will call
her a Ounce.
Since it seems general custom to
hurl
The blame for your crouch on the
telephone girl.
It's wearisome work on the nerves
and the brain
Continual hurry, continued strain,
And central gets tired-as other folks
do
And needs to be thoughtfully
treated by you.
So think of her doing her best mid
the whirl,
And try to be white to the tele-
phone girl.
i Thank You.
The above came in our mail Mon
day, but the name of the author was
not given. We never remember of
having "balled out" a central girl
but once in our life, and that was a
long time ago, so we do not feel
that the author had US in mind. This
being the case we are glad to print
