A Mayor for Decatur Decatur voters will go to the polls this November to elect their city officers for the 1964--7 four-year period. It is an important election. The past four years have been qui(e peculiar, in that all of the city officers, except the mayor, have been Democrats. When Mayor Gage took office, he publicly admitted at the council meeting that he wished in no way to try to lead the council against its will. Although he appointed a Republican city attorney and street commissioner, and some of his Republican relatives, to various city jobs, he made no attempt to make clearcut leadership differences between the two groups. In away, this was fine. It meant that there was no strife in the council meetings, and everything ran smoothly. But it also meant that the Democrats, who were given the helm, so to speak, by the mayor, were given all of the work, but got little help. Ordinarily, the city attorney is the "prime mover” in city politics. As the best-educated, and only real authority on law, on ways of accomplishing things, etc., the city attorney is indirectly responsible for most of the progressive work of the city administration. But quite naturally, if city councilmen instead of the mayor, are to have the job of initiating policy, then the city attorney should be their choice, not the ' mayor’s. This gave the city attorney little to do, except attend the council meetings, give his opinions on what the council had to work out without the help of legal advice, and left him free to attend little league games and write letters to those who failed to pay their parking meter violations. Now the mayor is able to blame the city council for any action taken, saying, I’m not to blame, the council did this ”, while he takes credit for all of the work done. But anyone who thinks twice will remember that almost every improvement made during the , past four years has been paid for by interest on the electric plant-sale money, or from funds freed by the sale from the electric account. Mayor Gage, who opposed the sale of the light plant under , x. Mayor Cole, quickly brought it about when he came into office. When the city council approved use of part of the funds freed by the sale, the mayor was quick enough to help decide which streets would be improved and paved, under his Republican street commissioner. We feel that Decatur needs a new mayor, one will give his time and energy to Decatur, and will help lead his council, his street department, and his other city offices. We feel Decatur needs a mayor who £ (will appoint a city attorney who will work with the city council, not after it. We feel that Decatur needs Carl Gerber for mayor.
