And right here is one of the main
points. Tner, is no lost motion i'm the
working forces Of the city Of sherman.
The different departments are inter.
locling. when man is hired by the
city manager to work for the city he
knows that me is going to put m eight
hours dav. If there happens to be no
immediate work in the department
where his chief duty lies. he is sent
TO another department that has work
to be done
In this way every man renders 100
per cent service to the city, every man
earns his money. every man feels that
he is doing his duty, and the tendency
is for every man to take pride in so
doing. OF course there are exceptions
i'm sherman as elsewhere. You viii
find the Stacker and the grumbler
nearly everywhere, in spots, but in
sherman the Stacker has a mighty
poor chance for holding his job, and
the grumhler simply makes himself
a nuisance to his fcllowWorkers and
upsets his own spiritual digestion.
