| Q 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, November 24, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN CM PLAN LONG KNOWN TO CANADA Professor Donald C. Rowat, Carleton University, Ottawa, sounded off at a recent convention with some | Pertinent comments on the City Manager form of government. He said: Canada's experience with the CM system has been almost as long as that of the U.S, -- the first adoption of the plan was in 1908, the first Canadian adoption (Westmount, Que.) was only five years later, in 1913. Since 1940 the number of CM cities in Canada has more than trebled; more than 20 Canadian cities have shifted to the CM system in the decade, There are now more than 50 CM cities in Canada, comprising about one-fifth of all cities. Of the 27 Canadian cities between 25,000 and 50,000, more than half have by now converted to the CM system. In other words, in medium-sized cities there are proportionately as many CM cities in Canada as in the U.S. It is only in Canadian cities below 25,000 and above 100,000 that the proportion of CM cities is markedly below the U.S. Professor Rowat also explained the difference be- tween the U.S. CM Plan and the Canadian CM plan. The elected councils are larger, councillors are usually elected from wards and there are usually stand- ing committees of council under the Canadian 'system. Also the mayor is invariably directly elected rather than chosen by Council, and has a much higher salary and much more power than his American counterpart. Correspondingly, the powers of the CM in Canada are less, with the City Council having power to approve his personnel policies and senior appointments, to supervise his administration, and to receive information directly from department heads. Professor Rowat, for the above reasons, believes that the Canadian system is superior to the U.S. plan. A large council and election -- from wards provide a better representation of the great variety of interests found in a big city, he says. : "The council's required approval of the manager's personnel policies and appointments prevent him from exercising an autocratic control over his administration," he adds. "And the appearance of department heads be- fore standing committees of the.council gives the council fuller information and prevents the artificial and rigid distinction between the creation and execution of policy characteristic of the American plan. Professor Rowat does not believe that the CM plan is good for cities over 100,000 population. "It is significant that few large cities in: either the U.S. or Canada have adopted the plan. It is a good scheme for small and medium-sized cities, but it has two drawbacks for larger cities -- its small council doesn't provide adequate representation of the different areas and interests in a large city, and its appointed non- political manager doesn't provide for political leadership. CM SHOULD NOT BE LOCAL APPOINTEE The Galt (Ont.) City Council has appointed City Clerk Harry Ritz co-ordinator of municipal offices -- virtually a 'city manager -- at a salary of $10,000. He will carry on as clerk. Mr. Ritz will have general control and management of the City's government and affairs. He will have full power and direction of all city employees, except offi- cials appointed under any statute. He will have author- ity to promote, dismiss, suspend and transfer all employ- ees, subject to Council approval. The Galt appointment is a step in the right direct- ion, but it has one serious defect -- the appointee should not be local, especially a local municipal employee. He should be an outsider without connections or back- ground in the City in which he is to work. This is an essential, preliminary rule of tem, if it is to operate effectively. t the CM sys- AL-ANON SERVES USEFUL ROLE For those who seek affiliation with an Al-Anon Family Group, but never got around to it: There will be an open meeting of the six-year-old Oshawa branch of this organization next Wednesday, November 29, in the UAW Hall at 8:30 p.m. What is. Al-Anon? Its a fellowship of non-alcoholics, men and women, who are husbands, wives, relatives or close friends of alcoholics -- whether or not they are AA members, they are bonded together to try to solve their common problems of fear, insecurity, lack of understanding of the alcoholic, and of the warped personal lives resulting from alcoholism Its a separate fellowship, not a part of Alcoholics Anonymous; however, both are closely allied and oper- ate with each other in every possible way. Al-Anon, like AA. stresses the anonymity of members of both fellow- ships In the course of his talk at AA's 22nd, dinner, Bill W. co-founder of AA, said: "I think that Al-Anon is one of the greatest things that has happened since AA began." Oshawa has four active AA groups, Whitby two, Bowmanville and Ajax, one each. anniversary LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Members of Local 222, UAW-CLC will decide on the week-end whether they are in favor of strike action -- two membership meetings will be held in the Armories tomorrow at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., when balloting will start.
