Schram Advocates Former member of the schoo! board believes departments should be investigated. “I would like to call the at. tention of the voters to Char- ter Amendment No. 21, in- creasing the powers of the civil service commission, and Ask them to vote for it,” said Jobn Schram, who as a candi. date for the city council is ad- Vocating greater efficiency in the city service. “If I should be elected to the city counc!! I intend to the matter of an expert vestigation of the various elty departments to determine whether or not there are more employes than are’ needed to Properly transac? the business of the city, and to establish standards for a day's work for the various classes of city em- ployes. “The passage of amendment No. 21 has a direct bearing Upon the work of increasing the efficiency of city depart- Ments, as it gives the civil Service commission the power of initiating —_ proceedings city officials with a of discharging them. Under the present charter powers the civil service com- mission has been unable to do effective work because the commission itself was without power to begin proceedings against city employes, being forced to wait for complaints to be Iaid before the commis- sion before any action could be taken. However, if Charter Amendment No. 21, enlarging the powers of the commission, is passed and efficiency ex- perts are employed to deter- mine efficiency of city em- Ployes, the way would be opened to quiekly determine the individual efficiency of all people working for the city and to drop from the pay rolls those who are not needed or who are inefficient. “If common report is to be believed, thousands of dollars can be saved to the taxpayers by @ reorganization of city de- partments, and the voters Should make it possible to bring about that saving. As a councilman, 1 would do ali in my power to increase the et- ficiency and decrease the ex- pense of city government.” Sg Your Friends About My Dental | My Hensonabie Prices.

In a letter to the Post-Intettigencer of this morning, he says in part The writer has investigated both these power propositions carefully and conciuded to vote “y: for the following reasons: First—The city needs more electric power right now, so as to furnish tight to all, instead of only a part of the peopie. With sufficient power it can also furnish power at a reasona' price and profit to factories, Second—The cost of acquiring one or both of these sites will fot, it appears, mean a dollar of additional taxation. They are to be paid for from operation of the pliant the city. The own- ere of these sites get nothing more than lien on the properties themscives to secure the payment of the principal and interest on the 4 per cent thirty-year bonds. If they can’t deliver the property as proposed no bonds will ever be issued. Third—The Stone & Webster interests having already seized upon all other avatiable sites, these are the only valuable ones left. Uniess they are taken now by the city, they are certain to be taken by the Seattle Electric Company or other interests. Power sites in the East that went begging a few years ago can- Net now be bought for less than millione—now is the time to act. | shall vote “yes,” because | believe it is voting for myself, as 2 citizen of Seattle, to provide now the means to secure additional water power, before it be gobbied up by monopolistic interests. TAXPAYER. (PAID ADVERTISEMENT.) FredericB. Chandler SOME REASONS WHY FREDERIC B, CHANDLER SHOULD BE ELECTED CITY COMPTROLLER During his term as Chief Deputy Comptroller, in the last two years, the following are some of the improvements which have been made in the departments of City Comptroller and City Clerk Politics absolutely divorced from Comptroller's and Clerk's departments, Keonomy and business methods strictly applied throughout the above two departments, 42,649 voters registered in 1910, cost per capita 26,8 cents. 71,831 voters registered in 1911, cost per capita 17.6 cents. Amount refunded to taxpayers on local improvements jast two years, $151,988, notice to parties not only being sent once, but several times, Securities always intact and triple check upon every finan. cial transaction. Money turned over to City Treasurer daily, None allowed to remain in the above departments over night. Every inquiry, no matter how trivial, investigated until a definite and satisfactory answer can be given. Absolute courtesy to the public insisted upon. The supporters of Andrew J. Quigley are rallying around Frederic B. Chandler for City Comptroller, working for his and the city's in- terests. WHAT WE WANT IS More Business and Less Politics If he is elected Comptrotier, he will come in with absolutely clean hands and without having made any promises to any one except to serve the city and the taxpayers conscientiously, and to the best of his ability in thetr interest, IS WORKING FOR PAYMENT TWICE A MONTH FOR ALL CITY EMPLOYES SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR. 416 going to 58 every day HAIR | we use HAYS Fey Then you'll see the fee Cer entirely.
