cized the inefficient" administration

declaring that "all city equipment

Mr. Beverley, who last week at
tackled other city departments for

that of the 125 pieces OF motorized
equipment owned by the city. about
IS per cent is always exposed to
deterioration by the weather.
Only one mechanic and two
helpers are employed to care for
all the equipment, he said. AS a
result of this he declared. Shop
superintendent Claude Yates told
him police cars were in such shape
that it was unsafe for them to
travel at high speeds.
Mr.. Beverley said he felt City
Manager Nicholas Colasanto should
have made provision in the budget
for erection of inexpensive sheds to
shelter the equipment Mr.. Colasanto
took Office last year after about
half the budget had been completed
The councilman-elect, who takes
office September l, also criticized
the city manager for instructing the
smoke inspector. John ]. Kelley, to
work with the shop in listing equip
ment, Mr. Beverley. who said he
does not believe Alexandria needs a
