Cleveland, Oct. u ca. P)-The
first big city in the country to try
the City Manager form of govern
ment Cleveland is preparing to elect
% City councilmCn on November q,
under its new charter which pro-
vides for proportional representa-
ton ballots. The councilmen will be
elected from four districts, will take
Office on January !. and elect the
city manager shortly after.
One hundred and twenty-nine
candidates. including four women.
filed petitions carrying 500 sigma
lures each when the time limit for
filing nominating petitions expired.
Forty-tWo candidates for various
terms as municipal judge and three
candidates for city clerk also will be
on the BALLOT The judges and city
clerk will be elected under the pres
ent method of voting.
The new form of government
without an elective mayor. places
all of the power of government in
the hands of the city council of -
members. The council will elect
from its number a presiding officer
to be known as mayor" but he will
have none OF the executive or ad-
ministrative functions which the
mayor now has.
The city manager will be tie chief
administrative officer Of the city. He
cannot be appointed for any definite
term but will serve during the
pleasure of the council.
The big issue developed in the
campaign is whether the now city
manager must be a resident Of
Cleveland.
