so I thank Mr.. Pinkley for the

I'VE are giving several flue pa

IL is pleasant treatment, but

THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS
Is agitating the city manager form
|bf government for Dallas.
Believes that the old commission
Form already has run its course.
'and that modern city operation
should be carried on under expert
management.
ThekNews evidently has been OBJ.
Eerving how the city manager form
has been operating in Fort Worth,
