L, Thompson, forâ€" mer mayor and city manager for the town of Chatham, who addressed a public meeting at the Town Hall here Monday night. Mr. Thompson, who was for seven years city manager in Chatham, came here at the request of the town council, who for some time have been discussing the advisability of adopting the manaâ€" gerâ€"ccuncil system of civic administraâ€" tion here. He was introduced to the gathering by Mayor J. P. Bartleman, who said that the Council had been anxious to get a recognized authority on the subject to explain in detail the various workings and advantages of the plan. Mr. Thompson likened the difference between ordinary council administraâ€" tion and councilâ€"manager form of govâ€" ernment to the change that has taken place in the highway through the Teâ€" magami Reserve,. Beauty and tradition are standing aside to give place to utiâ€" lity, he pointed out in referring to the program of grading and straightening that has taken place. Many unnecesâ€" sary ‘turns‘" can be removed from muniâ€" cipal affairs and more uitlity achieved with the adoption of a wellâ€"founded form of city managership, he claimed. He assured his listeners that a city manager is in no way to be classed as a Sfril};,"‘ In referring to the duties of a city manager, Mr. Thompson declared that an official of this kind, is the adminisâ€" trative head of the municipality only. The mayor and council remain the same and will continue to pass on all local legislation and municipal policy. In addition to being the head of all municipal departments, including tax collection, assessing, treasury, engineerâ€" ing and town clerk, a city manager fills the post of purchasing agent, All purâ€" chases, large and small, pass through his hands and when ratified must also carry the signature of the Mayor. He also serves in the capacity of secretary of the police commission and Board of Health. Mr. Thompson was strongly of the opinion that a municipality should be able to prepare its own estimates acâ€" curately for local improvements, withâ€" out errors in calculation showing up in the form of "extras."‘ In this connecâ€" tion he told the meeting that at the first of the year tenders should be asked for all necessary building materials, including lumber, cement, gravel, brick, tile, cement blocks, etec.. With this inâ€" formation on file, the task of making estimates is made much easier and gives the municipality a method of arriving at proper costs for the various local improvements that are undertaken durâ€" ing the year. Petty complaints of ratepayers are handled by the city manager but any matters of policy that must be decided are referred to the Council to be conâ€" sidered at their next meeting. Question is Reviewed at Public Meeting by A. L. Thompâ€" son, Exâ€"Mayor of Chatham. â€" Mayor and Council Would Still be Elected if Manager Were Appointed Here. If and when an application is made for a private bill before the Ontaric Legislature for the appointment of a ecity manager, Mr. Thompson felt that provision for rotation of Council on a twoâ€"year term basis should also be inâ€" cluded. He was strongly of the opinion that it requires two years for a Councilâ€" lor to become fully acquainted with municipal administration. _ Continuity of office is most important if the greatâ€" est efficiency is to be obtained, he deâ€" clared. Speaking of the possibility of adoptâ€" ing the city manager plan here, Mr. Thompson advised the meeting that the system should be introduced only with the full approval of the ratepayers. One of the principal requisites of municipal administration is the mutual respect and confidence of the electors, he pointâ€" ed out. The speaker complimented the town of Timmins on their system of budgetâ€" ing, tax collection by instaliments, adâ€" sence of longâ€"term debentures and elecâ€" tion of Mayor ana Council by a general vote of the electors.

(From Pembroke Standard) General regret was felt in Pembroke when it was learned that Alfred Frankâ€" lin Kenning, a member of a prominent Pembroke family and a former memâ€" ber of Ontario‘s Legislature for South Cochrane, had died at his home in Winona, Ont., Saturday morning at the age of 54. In reply to a question from the auâ€" dience, Mr. Thompson told the meeting that in many places where a city manaâ€" ger is employed, the appointee is a qualâ€" ified engineer, In other places men from a variety of walks of life have filled the position successfully.

At the regular meetinz on Monday afternoon, a group of union representatives presenied a petition to Council, signed by miners throughout the Camp and bearing a total of 6,0C0 signatures.

Their Majesties Asked to Come Here W. R. Armstrong, union president, denied that he or any member of the union had referred in any way to the Timmins Mayor.

Councillor Wren immediately asked the Union representatives on what srounds had they told the Tisdale Council that Mayor Bartleman would accompany their delegation. Referring to the request of the Union for a delegate from Council to accomâ€" pany their deputation to Toronto, Mayor Bartleman drew the attention of the members to the fact that the union are merely secking to arrange a conâ€" ference with the mine heads. ‘"We are not trying to tell the mines what to do," he continued. A formal invitation has been doesâ€" patched by Timmins town council to Prime Minister Mackenzie King, inâ€" viling Their Majesties, King George and Queen Elizabeth, to visit the Porâ€" cupine Camp on their Canadian tour next Summer. â€" TIne resolution pointed out that the Porcupine will afford the rezal visitors an opportunity of seeing the greatest gold producing area in the Dominion. "I told them before that they should have holidays with pay but I‘m not elected to interfere between the minces and their employees. I certainly will not support this move," said Councilâ€" lor Wren.

Mayor Bartlemanâ€""A great many have signed this petition and it‘s a case of a request by the citizens, who have asked us to help them in getting "I accept Mr. Armstrong‘s explanaâ€" tion," said Councillor Wren. "If a strike were threatened the council would soon take a stand but we come peacefully and you don‘t want to take any aciion," declared Hugh Anâ€" derson, another member of the Unicn committee. "This move was not taken for propaganda but was started last May. If the Council don‘t want to take a stand they are not interested on behalf of the citizens but the mines.
