Getting back to this question OF city commissioners
the people of Lakeland have had emphasis placed on
the necessity for electing to office clean Of vision
and integrity who will devote fair share of their time
in starting off the new order Of things For, be it re-
membered on the first board will largely fall the duty Of
initiating successfully the provisions embodied in the
new charter If it is possible secure the services Of
more or less experienced city manager who knows the
ropes and can suggest what is best through actual
perence, their duties will be considerably ghtened On
the other hand they will have enough responsibility
under the mcst favorable circumstances to warrant the
cordial sympathy and moral support of all the people.
No matter who may be selected TO start the ball rolling,
those men must have the cooperation of the "sockhod
ers the tax payers of Lakeland. else complete
will be impossible Up to the present time only three
wel-known citizens have been mentioned as willing to
assume this great responsibility of public service. These
three are j. w. Buchanan Jr.. D. c. Boswell and
lanes Hodges. If comment heard here and there
throughout the city where their names have been men
tened, is any criterion to their accepabity they
will probably go on the ballot unopposed. Lakeland
could make nc better start than to begin the new admin
istraion by what might properly be called unanimous
consent Of course the field is wide open to every
citizen who aspires to FIJI public office and there should
be no inclination to discourage any good material from
offering to serve the public but under the present crcum
stances it would be feather in Lakelands cap if the
announcement could go to the outside world that the
people of the city had reached that stage in their civic
life when it was possible to unanimously agree three
men to act as their public servants.
