Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1921-09-15

Ii it was not clear before it
is surely evident now that the
street railway companies Of the
state knew what they were do
ing last winter when they la
bored before the State Legisla-
ture to have street railways UNI
der control Of the State Rail
road and Warehouse Commission
instead of the various city gov
ernments local control. The
street railways wnlt under con-
troll Of the Commission and the
result has been that car fares
in the Twin Cities and Duluth
have been raised. The city of
Duluth brought in an injunction
and the order OF the Commission
for &c fares has temporarily been
placed at Sc again.
At the time the law was pas
sed last winter we were at a loss
to see why the control of street
railways should be taken away
from the respective city gov
ernments thus lessening home
ruleand turned over to a more
distant body the State Railroad
and Warehouse Commission UNI
less it was a favorable move for
the street railway companies.
The Commission is of course a
much smaller body Of men than
the various city councils and thus
the street railway companies
have fewer to contend with.
They undoubtedly figured that
they could more conveniently
turn the Commission in their ia
vor than the large city councils.
At any rate we did not hear of
any appeal from the people at
large to have the control turned
from city governments to the
Commission but there was all
kinds Of propaganda-evidently
turned loose by the street car
railways--to have the change
made. Cities like Minneapolis
st. Paul and Duluth ought to he
large enough to control their
own affairs-~that is as far as
street car fares is concerned. AT
any rate it is not well to take
away too much home rule.

Gentlemen
The proposed amendment to the
charter Of the city OF Ardmore pro-
viding Cor the managerial form of gov
ernment was after several weeks OF
careful study and thought worked out
and suggested by representatives from
the labor unions, the Civic League,
the Lions Club, the Kiwanis club and
the Rotary club in conjunction with
the mayor and board of commission
ers. 1t is therefore seen that each
of the business organizations in the
city of Ardmore was represented in the
preparation Of the amendments.
Briefly stated. the amendments pro-
vide for the nomination and election
by the people at large Of one commits
sioner from each ward and one COM
missioner at large. One commissioner
must be n resident of each ward, but
he Is nominated and elected at large.
The amendments provide that
manager for the city Of Ardmore shall
be elected by the five commissioners
the manager to appoint all Of the
heads Of departments and subordinate
lempoyes. The appointments of the
heads Of all departments before the
appointment is effective must be ap-
proved by the board OF commissioners.
This includes such appointees as the
chief of police, municipal judge, city
treasurer, city clerk, fire chief, city
physician and city attorney.
The city manager holds his office
at the win of the board of ,commis-
sioners. He could not procure defi-
mite term of office by a contract, be-
cause the amendments specifically
provide that he may be discharged at
any time. The amendments also pre-
vide that all OF the appointees may
be discharged at any time.
1t is also provided that no per-
son shall hold an appointive position
who is related by blood or marriage
within the third degree to either Of
the commissioners or the city manager.
The amendments require the city
manager to make monthly reports in
writing to the board of commissioners
covering receipts, disbursements and
proceedings in the affairs Of the city,
and in addition thereto a condensed
quarterly report.
The commissioners elect one of their
own number as mayor, all OF whom
serve without compensation. The mayor
and board of commissioners have au-
thority, independent of the city man
ager, to employ accountants, engineers
and attorneys for the purpose of in
vestigating the affairs of, the city in
any and all particulars. and it is
the duty of the mayor and board of
commissioners TO cause continuous
audit to be kept of the books, accounts,
records and transactions of the admin
istrative departments Of the city's
affairs by the city manager and the
officers and employees Of the city EN-
ployed by him.
The first primary election for the
election Of the commissioners under
the amendments will be held on the
fifth Tuesday after the amendments
have been approved by the governor.
