Utah NEFF SMART, Editor and1 Publisher (Entered at second class matter November 19. 1944 at the posloffice at Orem, Utah, under the act of March 3, 1897. MEMBER: Utah' State Press Association One year, Subscription Rales! in advance $3-00 VACATION MEMORIES CITY MANAGER This is to be a little essay on the city manager form of government. There's talk of initiating that for Orem, and you'll doubtless be hearing lots about it. Half a dozen Utah cities have city managers, and they1 like them. Certainly there is much to recommend having a city run like a conventional corporation, i. e. with a general manager employed to be in charge of operations and responsible to a board of directors who establish policy and standards of efficiency for all departments. City managers are employed by the elected mayor and city council to be in charge of the city's various operations, oper-ations, and are responsible to the mayor and city council coun-cil who establish policy and who are responsible to the taxpayers. At the present time here, the various operations -water, streets, parks and cemetery, sewer, finances, public pub-lic safety, etc. are handled directly by the mayor and councilmen. For his troubles the mayor receives $750 per year, while each councilman receives $350 per year. The jobs are intended to be part-time, of course. Orem City thus pays its mayor and five city council-men council-men a total of $2500 per year, and we think that the amount is probably the most productive money Orem spends- The city gets a lot of man hours of work for that $2500. It 'gets a lot of thoughtful discussion and counselling. It gets a lot of good government for a little money. And it seems likely to us that Orem will continue to have men available for public office who will devote their time and talents to the city, not for the salaries, but for the satisfaction they get from serving a fine community and its fine people. City managers trained ones require high salaries. Six to 10 thousand dollars per year is as little as Orem could expect to pay for a man capable of handling the city's expanding affairs. Such a salary, on top of what is already paid to the city's elected officers, represents an outlay hardly compatible with the job at hand and the money available to do the job. There will come a time, certainly, when Orem will outgrow out-grow its present city council form of government. Soon the press of city affairs will make it impossible for the job to be done on a part-time basis. However, as long as we have, and can feet, men who will fill the positions with skill and devotion, as a contribution of service to the community, let us appreciate their service and a silver-plated bargain. m Montel Graff, son of Mr. and Mrs- Chester Graff, has received re-ceived a call to fill a mission in the eastern states. He will .leave in October. Nadine Palmer of Bland- mg, who is attending business college in Salt Lake City, spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs- Larence Palmer and family and her grandmother.
