That story was news when it appear- ed in The Citizen last Saturday | under a streamer headline, but four days later it has begun to develop fuzz on its chin. . e LIMITED POWERS There has been a lot of con- fusion in the past on this city manager deal probably becaus those who put the charter over failed to present proper publicity ag to the powers of the manager. | Regardless of this, a great many people do not understand just how much power the city mana- ger has and where his powers stop. First of all he has not totalitarian powers.

Believe me if I were a city commissioner I would ; Have voted exactly like that. (Hh Bias EXPLAINS QNE DIFFERING POLICY job is administrative and enforcing — ordin- ances,” Mr, King said today, ‘I do not make policies or ordin- ances.” This is very true but when Mr. King makes a recom- mendation he must be prepared to bear the weight of criticism ! which will fall on reeommenda- tions not in accord with public thought and I think our city manager is fully prepared to shoulder this responsibility. ‘First thing I presented to the city commission, the collection of delinquent taxes as soon as possible which the city commis- sion itself had been on record as establishing must be done before February 20, was voted down,” Mr. King said in dis- cussing his limitation of powers, “When the commission made this decision I prepared to en- force it, As it stands all must ray ‘their delifittient “ taxes’ be- fore February 20 or must enter into a “contract with the city BEFORE THAT DATE to pay the taxes in seven installments, cach not being less than ONE SEVENTH of the total taxes owed. I will not allow anyone to come in and make such a contract after February 20 and that is fair warning.” ° e CHIEF RECOMMENDS Thus it should be clear to all the limited powers of a city manager. There is one more phase in recommending which must be considered, when the , city manager takes a stand on a question he is doing so to the ) best of his ability in line with his past experience in operating other cities. It is his duty to recommend, When he. does so he does not speak as the voice of the city. He speaks only as the chief recommender of the city which goes | before city: commission. That is all, but that is weighty. So in future criti; cism do not think of him as the of city power, because . he FUN NIGHT 3 at ° : 303 Duval Street, ° ° U.S. 0.
