i Following presentation Of proposals
to the city councilmen, a commit &c

Police Force top Heavy"
( Proposed reorganization in city gov
eminent would consolidate various
city departments avoiding duplication
Of work and reducing the number Of
employees.
! Similarity of the street cleaning de-
partment with the improved and IN
/ improved streets department was cited
as a point where money could be
saved. The work of the health and
sanitary boards overlaps. it was said
1 Reduction in the number of high
officials in the police department,
bringing the number of captains down
to five, was considered. The city coun-
ell has charged that the police force
was top heavy"
Groninger proposed duties of patrol
men should be enlarged so they could
act as inspectors for faulty streets and
sewers and even take over some of
the health inspectors duties.
Standardized Salaries Are Asked
Opposition was expressed to sep
arate taxing units of the city. largely
independent from other departments.
officials agreed the sanitary, health
and park boards should be under di-
rect jurisdiction of the Mayor.
Independence Of these departments,
however, is provided by State law.
Harrison proposed the budget be
made annually at present, but that
expenditures be planned on quar-
terly basis in order that at each three
month period, department heads
would not be exceeding allowances.
Perk was instructed to estimate a
standardized salary basis for city en-
| ployes. A range in salaries of stenog-
raphers and clerks from $S5 to $40
month is shown In a pay roll tabula-
ton.
$50 City Cars for Officials
Officials agreed the maintenance of
municipal automobiles was a heavy
drain. They proposed the city start
| its own taxi service with cars that
could be used by any department head
at any time, or close a contract with
a local taxi company to transport city
officials on business.
Hogue said the city owned approx
mately $50 city cars, involving an
upkeep expense of nearly $500 each
annually. OF these cars, forty were
purchased during the Shank admins.
tration.
Councilman Walter Wise has OPP
posed municipal cars for city en-
ployes
That the number Of city executives
should be reduced end the salary of
others increased with their added du-
ties was the opinion of Groninger.
Inspectors System Is Faulty"
I'VE have some inspectors working
part of the day and loafng while
others are working" said Groninger.
IF we can consolidate the work so
that each man does a full days work
for his salary We'll have an organi-
cation like a business corporation"
The ward system" of inspection
was proposed which would put a chief
inspector for various city departments
in each ward to supervise civic duties.
I'VE want to put the city govern
