(a eee ere ee eee eel What? When? How? EDITORIAL) Wwiat next in the campaign for city manager government in attle? Council has reached an impasse—temporarily at least—in the matter the s ll be placed upon the ballot. The judiciary committee recommends the Municipal league’s charter amendment, providing for a city manager named by the council. ing the whole matter of the change in our charter before the public at an election of a freeholders’ commission. Jecause of the deadlock that was evident, the committee has held up of the selection of the plan that Four councilmen favor lay its recommendation until next week. ‘i is newspaper believes Seattle needs a city manager for economy . and efficiency. It believes that, in the face of an official opinion by Corporation Counsel Kennedy that the Municipal league measure is of questionable validity; the best way and the safest way of get- ting that form of government is by a freeholders’ election. It believes that a charter selected by such a commission will best represent the wishes of ALL the people. oe ey Ve HE city council seemingly prefers to submit an amended Municipal league amendment to the voters 8, in the face of Kennedy They believe, possibly, that the weight of public opinion, at the polls, ‘would outweigh any invalidity as express If that is the program, there are several changes in the amendment this newspaper would like to see made, believing them to be for the in- terest of the public. ee 6 T HESE include the following: ] —The charter amendment provides for a consolidation of water and light departments. It is this paper’s belief that this provision was written into the amendment with the express purpose of getting rid of J. D. Ross, a valuable public servant. Personal prejudice should not be allowed to influence the makers of our city charter. This provision should be stricken out. 2 —The amendment provides that the office of mayor shall be eliminat- ed on the same day the charter amendment becomes effective. This paper believes that provision should be changed, so as not to pro- vide a “set-up” for the incumbent in the mayor’s chair, or for any other politician. opinion. expressed 2d by the courts. 3 —It is this paper’s belief that it is absolutely necessary in Seattle that the police department be taken out of politics. It does not believe the charter amendment, as drawn, will do this. ‘ The council names the manager. The manager names the police chief. That gives the police department an acute personal interest in who be- comes a member of the council. This paper’s suggestion would be to elect a police commission, to serve without pay, whose job it would be to name a police chief, remov- ing the police department, and possibly the fire department, from direct relationship with other municipal functions. It believes that, as the gen- eral manager of Seattle’s $67,000,000 worth of public utilities, the city manager will have a big enough job on his hands without playing “police politics.” at OSSIBLY these ideas can be improved upon. give the city council food for thought.
