. . '' '' , i ‘ Thursday, March 24, 1960 y- v VIEWS OF OUR READERS To The Editor: In The Chronicle last week, there was an interesting and informative article on the City Manager form of city government This article ex plains how this form of government works and gives the names of cities in South Carolina that use it. If you have not read this article, I certain ly recommend that you do so since the citizens of Clinton will vote in an advisory referendum on this njatter April 12, 1960. For twelve years I have been a citizen of Clinton and have operated a retail business here. It has been with much interest that I have ob served the growth and progress of thk. fine city. Many improvements been accomplished and our city officials are to be commended for a job well done. * - As we face the future, we must plan for the continued growth and development of our city. With an an nual budget of over a half million dollars, match time is required to administer city business qnd with the ancitipated growth more time will be necessary. In my opinion, R would be wise to employ a full time administrator, a city manager, to run he affairs of our city. This administrator would be employed by the mbyor and city council and would carry out the policies and plans set forth by them. This [dan, it seems to me, is an ef ficient one and I believe it will be a progressive move for the citizens of Clinton to approve this plan at the polk on April 12. ^ —J, A. ORR, JR. Article By Shields Tells Of Feature Pages In Chronicle As a result of widespread interest hi the family portrait pages that have been featured in recent years by The Clinton Chronicle, editors of The National Photographer have in vited William M.
