A fulltime mayor prob- ~ ably should be considered along with a board of contro] at some future date." John DeHart: 'I would be in favor of the enlargement of the powers of the office of Director of Operations. If such move was implemented, it would increase the efficiency of our adminis- tration at City Hall. We have department heads of high cal- ihre generally speaking, but they labor under a big handicap --an antiquated administration with new vigor and ideas and civic administrative procedures. With my experience with the present system, I believe that I wan positively help them to find the answers to why our present procedures are being carried out." Jan Drygala: 'I would have to 'be fully familiar with the machinery of government, be- fore answering this question.

Davidson, 25, both of Toronto, were sentenced Wednesday to five years each for what Mr. Justice E. L. Haines called "the silly, senseless, and - sary killing of a fellow alco- holic." Originally charged with non- capital murder, they were con- victed Nov. 27 of the man- slaughter of Lawrence (Slim) Bowman, 59, of, Toronto. Bow- man's body was found in a New Toronto lumber yard July 4, two days after a drinking party. see a need for change in our civic administration. From my experience in the past year, I believe we have a very dedi- cated and efficient staff at City Hall. If Council provided more space it would speed up business as every department is over- crowded." Mrs. Margaret Shaw: 'We should move slowly in making major changes in our admini- stration. Let us see to it that the present machinery is work- ing effectively and economic- ally." Alex Shestowsky: 'I have not served on Council as yet and would not be so naive as to rec- ommend drastic changes in civic administration. But I do promise if 1 am elected I would make a close study of civic administra- tion - before advocating any changes " Rene M. Thiebaud: I would like to see the following changes in our civic administration. YOU ARE INVITED TO THE true, despite the Woods, Gordon Report. Major changes are ur- gently needed."

Property taxes can't pay the bills. What is needed is: Education costs cut by Provincial and Federal governments; tax exemption on all homes and small business assessed at $5,000 or less; de- duct municipal taxes from in- come tax (incorporated business is allowed to do this); part of gasoline tax for road mainten- ance; a federal municipal loan fund at low rate; senior gov- ernments have 11 of the major tax facilities. The. provincial government alone has 37 tax sources and must give cities tax relief." Edward Zalewski: '"'At the present time a large section of our civic administration has been re-organized under a Woods-Gordon survey 'report and I feel time must be per- | mitted to allow a clear picture of the success of this area of our administration. I feel we are rapidiy approaching the point where the rapid growth of our city will call for the ser- vices of a full-time mayor at city hall.
