Mr. Kraupner sald: “I will support such a move, but I also favor that a city man- ager plan should be thoroughly investigated, to see how it works, in other cities. PLAN IS ANSWER “But on the face of it, I think it is the only solution to our civic government problem. A million-dollar business like our city is getting to be should have more efficient administration than at present. And I think the answer lies in council-manager plan.” Mr. Bremner said he had given “serious and considerable thought” to the plan. “I definitely think that we should apply this system here. “I feel that:we are not getting the maximum efficiency from our present system of civi¢ gov- ernment.” approved the plan and favors a smaller council than the present eight-alderman sys- me it (council-manager plan) seems like a system which would provide more efficient management of civic affairs. “I believe that such a huge business as running cur city is getting to be, should have top ere: ability handling “I also believe that a smaller council would provide keener interest in elections here: and would do away With so much un- necessary talk that takes place at meetings.” WOULD INVESTIGATE Ald.

He said, re- ferring to earlier Daily News articles on the plan: “The system seems sound to me, providing we can get the right administrative ability for I think we should look into OPPOSE iT . Both Alderman James Preuky and Darrow Gomez spoke against the plan when asked, “should a council-manager plan be investigated for Prince Ru~ | pert?” | “Tt don’t think it would work, | mor do I think it is democratic,” | said Ald, Prusky. “I was in favor of it before I ‘entered the council, but after a year of service as an alderman, I have turned against it. “I am afraid such a system could develop into a combine in council and I think the mill rate would ge up,” said Ald. Prusky. But he admitted ‘that the sys- tem “could very well work” pro- viding the right people served on the council and the right*city manager was found. Ald. Gomez said he did not know of any place where the system had worked, but said he had only one reason why he would oppose such a plan. “And that is this: under such a plan with a smaller council, the administration could very well be one-sided.
