What may be considered . the
initial step toward adoption of
the city manager "form oí govern-
ment,' under-« probable charter
change was taken at a meeting of
a delegation of about 35 citizens
designated by the city commission
two weeks ago, as members of a
charter commission, held in the
parlors of the Holland hotel Mon-
day night
Mayor Ray Coalc, City Attorney
-Albert Tatum and , City Clerk
Hugh Blcvlns, of Beaumont;
Mayor R. L. Rutan and City Man-
ager Bill Taylor, of Port Arth«r,
attended and- gavera—review of
some of the workings-.of the city
manager forms ot. government
used by those two* cities.
After lengthy discussions,
was decided to adjourn the meet-
ing to permit i> mope extended
study *óf the present city charter
1o determine whether or not a
change in the present form of gov-
ernment was "/designed. Mayor
Abe Sokol^kj who opened the
meeting^as requested to have
a sufficient number of the present
charter copies printed, for
butign among the charter
members t«~allow them time to
study the situation, arid three days
later issue a call for another meet-
ingtvhen a further discussion may
be entered into.
George S. Colburn, president of
the Orange chamber of commerce,
elected toy the group to preside
over the meeting, was elected
temporary chairman and later
made permanent chairman, with
Frank Smith elected as secretary.

members of the city commission
becaust.of the tendency to plan
to eliminate politics1 At the sug-
gestion of City Attorney Jantes
Neil, other members of-the official
families of Beaumont' and Port
Arthur, were asked to speaks /
City Manager Bill Taylor dis-
cussed duties, of a city manager
and the different forms of govern-
ment that would permit operation

that the city manager form of
government .made-'it possible to
employ suitablejand capable in-
dividuals tur handle city affairs,
selectiorur'to be made either from
the ranks of local iitizenship, or
frpm outside.' Being a city m'an-
dger he said was a matter ot pro-
fession that has for its prime pur-
pose, that of promoting better mu-
nicipal government.
-■ Answering a Question asked by
J. H. Davie}, lyin Taylor said that
Jhc city manager form of govern-
ment was like that of a business
with it's board of directors and
manager.--] He thought tljat a city
ifianager^would lie in place- {p
serve all cities of 5,000 and above
and said that there were many
cities of populations of less than
15,0jp0 operating under a city man-
ager.
At the request of George-Craft,
Mr. Taylor explained that the sal-
ary of an Individual capable of
serving as city manager should
run between $5,000 and $6,000 and
thought a man that would demand
a salary of $6,000 Would constitute
suitable material for Orange. He

selected to serve as commission
members, with authority to em-

city cle/k and city, attorney. May-
or Coale frankly admitted that In
his opinion, the Beaumont cKy
charter-was too cumbersome for
the best-results and expressed his
approval of the Port Arthur char-
ter. He heartily endorsed the city
manager form of government.
