CLEVELAND, Ohio. october 90
Cleveland's hardy perennial-the con-
troversy over retention Of the city man
ager form of government-is in full
bloom again.
Seven times since Cleveland adopted
this form of government in 1921
attempts have been made to abolish or
modify the system, but all such
efforts have failed.
For the eighth time, November 3, an
amendment to the city charter calling
for re-establishment Of the ONCE CT
mayor will be voted upon.
The amendment is backed by the
county Democratic organization, Harry
l.. Davis. former mayor of Cleveland
and former Governor CT Ohio; Peter
Witt. former councilman and holder OF
town meetings" to criticize civic
affairs and high officers in the Police
Department.
Opposing the amendment are City
Manager Daniel E. Morgan and his City
Hall employees, the Citizens League and
the League of Women voters.
Around the amendment centers the
old disputed questions of whether the
people should elect mayor who will
give an accounting for his policies to
the people at the end of his term or
whether the Council should originate
policies and be held accountable to the
people. with city manager to carry
out the administration of policies
