Montreal Is Chosen as Meet

Earl C. Elliott of Wichita, Kan. to-
day was elected president of the CITY
Managers Association at the conclud-

Nice president, and Ed. Wrenn of
Retdsville, N. c., third vice president.
Principles under which city man
ager must operate were outlined to-
day at the concluding session of the
convention.
A city manager must entirely
sschew politics. His salary must be
commensurate with his responsible
ties. and he must be prepared to un-
aertake multifarious duties. Gen. J..
p: Jervey, city manager of Ports
mouth, Va, told the convention.
aen. Jervey deplored the recent state
hf5Hts of a governor of large state
that he would not employ state officer
at more than $1,000 a year. adding that
a I. low Salaried city manager means
either lack OF efficiency, dabbling in
men Of means. Gen. Jervey said he
hoped TO see the plan of managership
spreaed throughout the states and ma
tional government.
The city manager plan is on trial.
and managers must give the highest
ideals of service. according to n. A.
kemmiSh of Alliance, Neb. j. p.
broome, city manager of Salem, Va,
referring to traffic problems in small
cities, said the best citizens of the
town should be arrested first when
they violate traffic ordinances. in or
der to set an example to the others.
4 resolution of thanks to the City
Club. the board Of Commissioners and
heads of departments of the District
government and to the Kiwanis Club
and the city manager of Alexandria,
Va. was adopted.

Union, declared in an address at a
Joint luncheon of the National Mu-
nialpal League and the Governments
Research Council. Recent improve
ths United States have aroused wide
spread interest throughout Latin
Arnerca, DR.. Rowe added, and have
given rise to a no less marked desire
fog well organized interchange of
experience.
However, DR.. Rowe said. from the
point of view of what might be called
SOCIAL and artistic activities of organ

cities have much to teach us. for they

stFuction of public buildings and
beautifying of water fronts. the
larger cities of Latin America are far
jnsadvance of most of the communi-
tics of this country, DR.. Rowe de-
clzred.
Continuity In office of the heads or

in so far as efficiency of police depart
