promotion from a 5000 year
job as secretary 10 one OF the most
important positions in the city
government.
As controller. Oakman Will re-
ceive $4,000 a year and will be
the top man tn the management
of the city's finances as well as the
directing genius for any depart
mental reorganizauonS which are
attempted.
Together with AlfFetr SteliHski,
the mayors other secretary, Oak
man has born the brunt of a tidal
wave Of callers and job seekers
who besiege the mayors office at
all times.
Oakman frequently has had TO
play the role of Detroit's Grover
'Whalen" and be the off cial greeter
and entertainer for visiting digni-
.tarieS, when Mayor Jeffries was
engaged in other duties.
Comparative Newcomer
The new controller is a COM
'paratlve newcomer 10 politics and
his unbounded enthusiasm for his
work and tireless energy has been
the Amusement of the more case
hardened politicians at the City
Hall.
The confusion and nervous strain
which attends the job of being
mayors secretary has never
dimmed the famous Oakman smile.
In the face of the most trying stu
alton he always has a pleasant
word to exchange with every one.
The new appointce has dis
tinguished list of forebears.
His father was DR.. Charles II.
Oakman. one Of the c'ty's leading
surgeons until his death in 1926,
and another uncle. besides Robert
Oakman. was Milton Oakman
former sheriff and county clerk.

The new controller is graduate
of Northern High School and the
University OF Michigan. He is
married and has two children.
Until 1895 Oakman was a vice

and was president of the Saginaw
Motor Coach Company. He has
been president Of the firm of Oak
man. BayliS, Inc. from 1895 until
January 1910, when he joined
Mayor JeffrieS.
The first important problem TO
be dumped into the lap of the new
controller will be the job of salts
