Probate Judge: Whereas, Mary Elizabeth Yar borough made suit to me to grant her letters of administration of the rkf T V City Manager Form— ((Continued from page one) 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.

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.
