WANTS A BUSINESS
ADM|NIST RAJ T|ON Of
THE CITY AFFAIR Rs

That the managerial form OF city
government is gaining ground among
the old timers who have been con-
sdered as opposed to the proposition,
was made evident Friday night, when
a certain important city official who
has been on the public pay roll for
"a number of years, remarked that
he hoped that the people who were
engineering the move to change the
form OF government would hurry and
bring the matter before the people,
as he was getting sick and tired of
the way things were running at pres
ent, and was ready to assist in max.
ing q change.
II want to see a real business ad-
ministration," he said, II want to
see radical change in the way
things are conducted, and I am willing
TO get out and work for the move
ment.
II the change eliminates me from
my job, all well and good, don't care
much about it anyhow, but / am tired
Of seeing the peoples money whit
tied away without any very tangible
results 10 show for It."
The old timers who cannot get
away from partisan politics would no
doubt be shocked had they heard
this man make the above remarks.
but he said that the oldtlmers, and
regulars, had just as well prepare
for the inevitable because it was
coming, and coming with a rush
when once started.
Fifteen business men were asked
Friday afternoon this question:
"Are you in favor of the proposed
managerial form OF city government.
Do you, or do you not, favor the pres.
ent charter of the city?"
To which every one of them re.
piled that they were not only in
favor of making the change, but a
majority of them wanted to know
when the movement was going to
start so that they could get in the
game and help boost it along.
As previously reported the proposed
charter, now in the hands of the
committee to draft it, is nearly ready
to submit to the people, and 1t is
freely predicted that it will carry by
a overwhelming majority when sub
mitted 10 vote.
