III KIIIVIPKCC \r\II `JUL IQUIUIIQ _ Information about candidates"for `municipal office _should be readily iavailableyhe declared. There is not the same difficulty about this in towns as there is in the larger cities, but there should be some machinery by which candidates could express their views and show their personal- ity to the people whose function it is Ito vote and pay the bills. l Weaknesses of Municipal" Govt. He enumerated the weaknesses "of `the average municipal government as [follows: Lack of continuity of policies,` [too great consideration for local in- gterests, too much speech-making and * too little conference. lack of apprecia- tion of the distinction between form- ulating policies and carrying them out. and failure to establish adequate ac- counting and budgetery control. nanih-my urifh the first, Mr. Britain said that it is very common to find policies modified from time to time with no apparent reason. This is large- ly due to the practice of having an el- ection every year. Continuity cannot be expected. In his first year in Council a new member, if he is wise, says noth- ing for two months. 1-I1 then has four or five .months in w..ich he can do something. There is generally a sum- mer vacation and he must spend the last few months mending his political fences. It is only natural to expect that his actions will be governed to some extent at least, by. his chances for re- election. If members were elected for longer and over-lapping periods, it would bepossible to always have two- thirds of the Council experienced in municipal ' management. Where the ward system is in vogue it is only natural that local interests are a big consideration in governing a member's actions. A good alderman is one who gets -a lot of things for his Iward. In Fredericton. N.B.. they have i two aldermen from each ward but they areelected by the whole city. Small Councils Favored Every Boardof Directors should be uso small that they can get their feet under one table and not have to stand up to talk. said Mr. Britain. If members `could do their talking from their seats [it would add a great deal to the value ;of the discussion and it would put a [damper on oratory. The main functions of 21 Board of !Directors are to formulate policies and select men to carry them out, heal counting and buagetery COIILFUI. Dealing with the first. Mr. Britain I 1 i ' ` ideclared. They should then keep their Ihands off. If the executives are good. leave them alone; if they are not, dis- charge them. If you expect them to de- liver the goods give them the respon- sibility. VVhen a Council steps over the lines there is bound to be friction and lackpof co-operation. Accounting 50 Years Behind Municipal accounting is fifty years. behind that of private corporations, 1.,` alrnfn Tho ~hnde'o=.i' should be SO behind that OI D!'lVa.Le (:uI.'pu1.'uuuu=s, he stated. The `budget should be clear that when it is placed in the hands of the electors they can under- stand it thoroughly. In a private cor- poration accounts are used to help in the administration of the business. wh-ile in a public corporation they are used merely to keep people from steal- ing money. l\/I-nvnr (".rni2` on behalf of the Council 1 Mayor Craig on behalf %thzmked the Kiwanis Club for their hospitality and expressed appreciation `of the work of the club- . 1v. `Duuulr man r-hnirman and J.
