we have? What sort of efficiency
would result? What would be the
coat to the patient in both service
and In money? It is unnecessary to
answer these questions. The an
swers are too obvious.
"If there is any great difference
between the operation of a hospital
and the operation of a city, I cannot
see it”
Mayor McCorfcIs
Mayor McCorkle %aid: “I am in
favor of tie city manager form of
govenunent for the reason that the
mayor would have more time in
which to plan for the city's, welfare
and exiMnsion with a city manager
to take care of the routine mat
ers.”
Alderman D. J. Creed
Dewel J. Creed, alderman from
Ward Four, said that he was very
heartily in favor of the city man
ager form of government and that
he hoped the voters of the city
would adopt it next Tuesday.
*T know from personal exper
ience,” said Mr. Creed, “that it is
difficult for a mau, who has his
own phonal business to look after, j
to give the time that ought to be
given to the conduct of the city’s
business. All members of council
give the best service they can, but
after all they have to make a liv
ing and if they are business men
they cannot afford to neglect their
own personal business too much
which they would have to do if
they give the time the city’s busi
ness really requires. It Just strikes
me that it is good business to have
a city manager."
Alderman P. R. Langston
P. R. Langston, another member
of city council, said: “I endorse the
city manager form of government
because it is the only form prac
tical enough to give the taxpayer
a dollar’s worth of government for
every dollar’s worth of tax.”
W. F. Nettles
W. F. Nettles said: “Under the
proper city officials I endorse city
manager form of government 100
per cent”
W. Q. wnson
W. O. Wilson said: “Believing
that a city manager is the most
efficient form of city government,*)
1 favor it”
C. O. ttogner
C. O. Stogner said: “I am in fav
or of the city manager form of
government b^use I believe it is
the most efficient and economical
way to operate the affairs of the
city, and according to the best in
formation that I have that has been
the experience of all the cities and
towns who are operating under the
'"4 city manager form of government.”
A. tarn Karssh
A. Sam BLareih said: "I favor a
city manager form of government
for the city of Camdmi because it
would out the administration of
Camden on a business-like basis
so khat tile most benefit would be
gained from each tax dollar.”
Herbert Mattox
Herbert Mattox said: ^‘1 heartily
endorse the city manager form of
government for the city of Ckun-
den.”
R. Ml Kennedy, III
R. M. Kennedy. HI, said: "I am
in favor of a city manager form of
government because I believe that
a mwe efficient operation of all
departments will result from the
supervision of a trained man.”
Alderman T. L. Myers
T. L, Myers, member of city
council from Ward Three, said: “I
wholeheartedly favor the city man
ager form of govtfiuient. Thrcn^l
DsvM t. Har«at
David 8. Hartir said^
my service la the city council I ationidy endorse the etty
have seen the imperative need of
a trained full-time execatlve for the
city.”
1 very
form of govenuaent for Camden
and think that It would he a great
step forward (or the city.”
