Answers toQuestions

N. D.-What are the salaries OF the
city officials who would be affected by
the proposed change in the form Of
city government and what would be
the salary Of the officials under the
new management? Which would cost
the taxpayers the most, and how
much THE only officials that would
be affected by the proposed change
in government would be the mayor.
who receives $4,000: II councilmen
Who receive $50 a year each, or
$500, and three members of the
board of works. who receive $1,000 a
year each or $4,000.
Under the proposed city manager
form of government the city managers
salary is not definitely fixed. In a
city the size of Richmond the salary
probably would be about 5000 a year,
judging from other cities that have
adopted this system. Five commits
sioners would receive $500 a year
each. or $500. One of the commits
sioners is selected as the ceremonial
head of the city and receives an add.
tional $3.50 year.
The Office of city judge is created
and the law does not fix the salary,
but this would probably cost about
$1,000 year. Other Offices of the
city would remain virtually the same.
Total cost of the present officers as
named above is $7,4C0; under the pro-
posed form the offices designed to
take The present Offices would cost
about $7.650-so that there is very
little difference in this respect
The question of cost to taxpayers
cannot be answered definitely. The
city manager should be able to save
the city large sums of money in vari-
GU channels. This has proved to be
the case in cities where the plan has
been tried. BY introducing business
methods and insisting on efficient pro-
cedure in all departments, the city
manager is able to save the city thous-
ands Of dollars annually. In Dayton,
Wheeling, Kalamazoo, Sandusky and
scores of other cities, city managers
have performed great service to the
community in cutting down expenses
and yet being able to carry out pro-
gressive measures.
