Around Nome
By HARRY LUDBROOK
(Note: Ihave in hand many facts
dealing with different forms of
city government and it is my de
sire to' place before the people of
Nome these true pictures of past,
present and future aspects of good
and bad government. I wish it to
be known that any reference I
may make to the present^ admin
istration is in no way personal
nor is it meant to be viciously in
clined. I only hope that from
these words a stream of light may
lead us from our chaotic morass
of past indecisions and perhaps
show us a bread, new highway
of future happiness. — H. L.)
—
Are you, as a citizen of Nome,
receiving all the services which
your government should, by rea
son of economy and convenience,
rightfully perform? Are these ser
vices being efficiently rendered;
is the setup controlled properly,
and is it sufficiently responsive to
the public in performing those
services?
Think about these questions ser
iously before you toss aside this
paper because they are important
to you as citizens and to your
children who are the future citi
zens of Nome. They spell per
manent performance of good gov
ernment for a larger and better
city of the future. Fundamentally
all forms of government can be
classed as fgood if the public ser
vant in charge is good. But it is
when the public official loses his
clear foresight that the particular
form of government in vogue be
comes a sorry mess.
ine mayor-council iorm oi city
government and the commission
type, too are not satisfactory
methods for absolute control be
cause too much importance is
placed on electoral votes and too
little on good administration.
Both forms work directly against
a well-established principle: that
in order to get a good man to
supervise the may offices that go
into the making of a city> it be
comes of paramount importance
to make a selection through merit,
and merit alone. He must be a
man whose past record proves his
ability to carry on the work of
city administration. He must be
a man who knows how to get
the most put of the tax dollar
and he must know that the tax
dollar has to be given back to
the taxpayers in the form of
public service. Because a man is
honest and sincere in his efforts
to better the community of which
he heads, is not always a criterion
of administrative ability. He may
be a wonderful greeter, a spon
taneous orator, and have a lot in
common with Abe Lincoln, but
he still has to have the manag
erial background so many leaders
lack.
The only way in which a city
may be sure of securing a man
capable of running a city pro
perly for all concerned, is to elect
a council who will appoint a city
manager.
