Employees Must BE Courteous.

"As our citizens have a right to pro-
lection from ine.ficiency and incompe-
tency in the public service, so, too they
have a right to receive courteous treat

whom business relations bring them In

1.-THE comfort and convenience of the
public must be subserved A scowl and
a growl are not an answer to the civil
question OF taxpayer. Politeness and
courtesy are due to those from whose
pockets our salaries are paid. Let the
conduct of city employees be reflective
of the attitude of this administration.
which is to treat courteously, cheerfully
and considerably every citizen, regard
less of his race. color. creed or condition.
"Our plain duty to the people is to see
to 1t that taxation is reduced to the min
imum expenditure required for an eco
nomlcal operation of government. This
is common honesty. With this In mind,
every item of departmental expenditure
must be limited to the lowest point con-
sistent with effective service, all unnec-
essary positions should be abolished and
the employment of any individual whose
services are Of seant or doubtful value
should be discontinued forthwith.
THE personal responsibility devolving
upon every department head for an effi-
cient and economical administrator will
lead to the closest scrutiny of public
expenditure and an emphatic refusal to
forward for consideration any contem-
plated request for an appropriation not
justified by urgent municipal need.
