It believed that every step toward city manager government was a step in the right di- rection. The plan lost by 4,000 votes. This year the Municipal league reoffers its plan. Opposition to it has strengthened. The corporation counsel, asked for an opinion on it, questions its validity. Another—and in this newspaper's opinion a safer—plan of placing the city manager plan before the voters is provided this year in the freeholders’ election. for city manager govern- It believes it is necessary in Se- AN ardent advocate of city manager government, The Star sees a peril in a vote on the Municipal league plan, aside from its questioned validity. It fears that, as the line- up exists at present, the amendment will lose in an election. Such a defeat would furnish an effective stopper to any plan of a charter revision com- mission to place a city manager plank in a revised charter, and the people thus would get no ch¢ ince to vote on a city manager form of goverriment devised to be satisfactory to a majority of them. ‘ee HE STAR wants to see Seattle. It believes the best way to get it is for every pro-managerite to get behind the charter re- vision plan and crowd it thru. Council’s action makes the job doubly dif- ficult. For with the charter amendment on the ballot, the friends of city manager government dare not permit it to lose, lest it endanger city manager government in a charter election later. The charter revision election is sure to come, either by council vote or initiative, and the commission resulting from it could change the charter as a whole, including the city man- a city manager in revision Will Announce Its Decision After Te | wholesalers and were heard. ‘The expressed was that the present zone ager amendment now provided.
