CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Long Beach, California

August 18th. 1922
Mr.. T. J. Appleyard, Jr., Manager
chamber of Commerce,
Lakeland, Florida.
Dear Mi Appleyard:
Having had in operation in Long
Beach for fifteen month the council
manager form Of government, and
having seen it accomplish in one year
more than had been possible in any
former five years. we hasten to CON
graduate Lakeland on its adoption
of this form of government.
If our experience is valuable to you
at all, you are welcome TO it. Fol
lowing the carrying of the charter,
which provided for seven districts
from each of which a councilman was
to be nominated but elected at large,
a little group of citizens called meet
ings in each of the districts at which
time each district appointed fifteen
delegates to attend a joint meeting
and suggest a leading citizen from
that district to be named as their
representative on the council.
We believe that you should guard
against the same thing that we found
it necessary to guard against. Those
who play petty politics will naturally
be interested in naming those with
whom they can lobby and who will
spend their time playing politics
rather than getting the job done This
joint meeting of fifteen representa-
tives from each of the seven districts
actually drafted the men from each
district whom they thought were the
men to serve, and publicly demanded
that they go on the council; the re-
suit being that we have representa-
tives on the council who do not play
politics, who are successful business
men, and who are backing the man
ager. who is trained for his work, in
getting the program of work accom-
plished. We believe you will find this
way of selecting the council adyan-
tageous and workable.
Very trul yyours,
Long Beach Chamber Of Commerce,
Lynn w. Ballard,
Executive Secretary.

MORE ENCOURAGEMENT FOR

Letters continue to be received al

Mr.. T. j. Appleyard, Jr., Mgr.
Chamber of Commerce
Lakeland, Florida.
Dear Mr.. Appleyard:
l note that the people Of your city
voted the Commission-Mana form
of government and | know they all
will be pleased with this plan if it is
properly handled and | hope that il
there is any graft or politics being
played in your city that they will for
get it and all get down and work for
the best interests of the city and they
will have no trouble in seeing the adj
vantages of this form at the end of
the year.
The success of this plan depends on
the selection of the Commissioners
and the efficiency of the manager de-
ponds a great deal on these men. ~
They should be men that are not
politicians, grafters of men looking
for personal favors but men that
have the city at heart and are in
terested in the development of your
city and community to greatest eff
ficiency at the least expense and men
that know how to choose the proper
man for manager and then work with
him.
l have given the manager form of
government great deal of study and
have the data from the different
cities that are using it and | don't
have single record of one going
back to the old form and | have
knowledge of a great many cities
where the plan has saved the tax
payers a great many dollars.
l congratulate your people on TAX
ing this progressive step forward and
know they will be well satisfied ana

WIND DEVICE AT
ARLINGTON BOON
TO AIR SERVICE

Washington, August 1S.-(By the
Associated Press)-A new aid to avi-
ators in the vicinity of Washington is
Z offered by the bureau of aeronautics
of the navy department, in the an
nouncement of the installation on the
700 foot radio tower at Arlington,
across the river from this city, of
wind recording devices for the benefit
of fiiers primarily.
A mast has been erected on the
tallest or the three towers on which
is six-foot wind vane, which, by
electrical connections, records in the
Office every vagary of the wind cur
rents at that altitude. The records, it
is said, will be Of exceptional value to
airmen in showing the more constant
F, currents of the upper air. The re-
cording device not only shows the di-
rection of the wind, and keeps con-
tinuous record of the velocities at all
hours, but indicates the velocity on
pressing a button. By counting the
number of buzzes per minute the We
locity can be read at any time.

locities at 700 feet above the ground

IN Vgid and non-rigid airships are
leE Formerly, in order to get
d -! velocity and direction, small
rubber balloons, hydrogen filled, vert
liberated, and bearings taken on them
at intervals of one minute with the
odolite. The angles when plotted
showed the speed and directions of
the winds that drifted the balloons at
each altitude. The height of the bal
looms at the termination of each min
ute of fight was predetermined by
the weight of the rubber and the
amount of ballast lifted. The balloons
were usually inflated so that they
would rise at the rate of 200 metres
per minute. When the sky was clear
and cloudless they were often follow
ed, through the instrument, to heights
of 10000 feet or more.
There are often times when the fog,
low clouds, rain or snow interferes
with the observation of the balloons
so that the advantage of having wind
instruments on high towers is APP

The triple register, as it is called,
also makes a continuous record of
sunshine. The transmitter, placed
near the wind mast, indicates on the
register every minute of bright sun

near the ground.
