Rotary Speaker
Urges Adoption
OF Manager Plan

Il takes brick layer to build
a wall and a cake baker to make
a birthday cake. By the same
token, Mrs. James w. Pearce, pres
ident Of the Pasco-Kennewick
branch of the American Associa-
ton Of University Women told
Rotarians, it taxes a trained adj
ministrator to run a city.
Speaking In support Of the city
manager plan at the Wednesday
noon Rotary meeting, Mrs. Pearce
said 1T is unfair to ask any man
to be so civic minded that he will
give his heart, his soul and his
money to public service"
Mrs. Lance Read, who also
spoke at the luncheon, said that
she would start circulating petit
tons at once requesting Mayor J..
c. Pratt to call special election
to decide their preferenSe as to
the mayor council form OF gov
,ernment as compared with the
oyor- uncil-manager form.
y twenty per cent of the num-
Der voting in the last mayorality
election, about 200, must sign the
petitions to validate the request.
The mayor then has 10 days to
check the list. The special cleo
ton is to be held not less tran 90
nor more than 100 days before the
next regular municipal election.
Stressing that time is short, Mrs.
Read asked for support of Kenne-
wick business men and citizens.
For any city under 500, 900 the
council-manager form Of city gov
eminent is the most democratic"
said Mrs. Pearce.
Managers salaries run from 81
800 to $4,000 a year and the ex-
perience Of cities using the plan
indicate that the manager can
easily save his salary through In
creased efficiency in city govern
ment.
Rotary guests included Almos
*. Reynolds Of Walla Walla, Aug
ust Beltmer Of Joliet, Illinois, Sid
johnson and Brooks Breeze Of
Pasco, Don Becker of Kennewick
and George Marvin Of Tacoma.

City Water Requested
For Giard Addition

4. The city council heard a re-
quest Tuesday night from resi-
dents in the Giard Addition, west
Of the Garden Tracts, for city wa
ter deliveries.
Councilmen explained that the
water franchise, held by the PP&L
requires deliveries within the city
limits, but that areas outside the
city cannot demand water service.
The recent food, said a spokes-
man for the Giard Addition resi-
dents, complicated their water sup
ply problem. He indicated that
the residents may consider peti-
tioning the council for annexation
to the city.

will begin to move equipment into
the city over the week end, and
actual construction of the Beech

main to be done, Goerig predicted.
