New Commissioner Gives Gen.
eral Policy In Address TO
City Club.

Application Of common sense TO all
problems OF municipal government
win be the policy followed by District
commissionsf J. Thilmaq Hendriek.
This general rule Was announced By
Mr.. Hendriek In an address yesterday
afternoon at the weekly forum lunch
con OF the City Club.
Il have not yet outlined any de-
tailed policies regarding the numer-
Gus problems that confront the Com
missioners," said Mr.. Hendrick. II bo-
lieye firmly however, that the appii-
cation OF good hard common sense 10
a pretty good policy. and II Is tho
policy that 1 shall strive to follow.
~ believe In the full and patient
examination of all Questions affecting
the public Interest. i believe In keep
ing In good humor. with smile In
the heart and on the face. i believe
In hearing both sides Of all questions
and shall welcome criticism from
the citizens generally. i wish, how
ever. that before citizens bring com
plants TO me they would consider the
matters fully and be prepared. II pos
sible. to suggest some remedy. But,
above all. II there IL need or criticism,
citizens should not hesitate TO criti-
else. am relying largely upon the
Intelligence OF the community TO help
me do my thinking. BY Offering me
constructive criticism citizens can
themselves aid In shaping the policy
OF the Government and improving
municipal conditions.
There were once two rival theories
OF writing among the French. One
was that language was a mere cloak
to conceal thought. The other was
that language should be SO clear that
IT is not merely understandable, but
that II could not possibly be misun-
derstood. ] stand for that second
school OF thought. think things
should be so plain that they cannot
possibly be misunderstood, and / shall
strive to attain that ideal in all my
decisions affecting public matters.
IL cannot speak In too high praise
OF the fine body OF District employees
The spirit Of loyalty of enthusiastic
service, OF conscientious effort could
not be improved upon. II there are
any exceptions they have not yet
come to my attention"
