COUNCIL CHAMBER - January 3, 1938
~
The Clerk read applications from H.C. Lane
for the position of Ilotoryoycle Officer and Alva. H.
Walker for Office of Chief of Police, which applicat-
ions were received by the Council and ordered filed.
In the appointment of other City officials
and emp~oyees, the Mayor recommended that a different
method be used in'selecting the people who are going
to serve the City. Instead of doing this in a sort
of blanket arrangement, as in the 'past, he believed
a more satisfactory method would be to elect the heads
of the various departments, and have them, in turn,
recommend to the 60uncil those they desire to work for
them, suoh recommendations to be subject to the
approval of the Council. He believed the heads of,
the different departments should be held responsible
for the satisfaotory'conduct of their various dapa~t-
ments, as in 'this way, he said, everything would be
on a more business like basis, and the employees
would feel that their position depended on their
efficiency in offioe rather"than on who happened to
be eleoted on the Oounoil. ~his suggestion of Mr.
Foote was cOncurred ~n by Mr\~ ,Gwynn who believed It
was a wise method ofappoint~ent.

by 111-. Wodischek, seconded by Mr. Gwynn and unanimously
carried that said appointees be employed as assistants
in the o~floe of the City Clerk.
Mr. Baker was unprepared to make recommend-
ations as to emp~oyees in his department.
It was moved by JIr. Gwynn that W.O. winn
be retained as City Auditor. Mr. Hill seconded the
motion. ,~ discussing this appointment, the Mayor
questionedJlr. Winn as to the 1936-37 audit, whioh
111-. Foote cOnsidered' should have been in the hands
o~ the CounCil for, consideration by November 1st. f"
In explanation. :Mr. Winn stated that there was con-"
siderable difference in audits and that he could 1i.',;
have turned in some sort of e,n audit by this tim~b,\l.~",,;E:0
as he was preparing a partioularly detailed re"'/'(,#
and analyzing all the dHferent accounts it, entafled,
a considerane amount of work. He reported he had .','.', ".'
