MICHIGAN CITY MANAGER SAYS PLANK GOOD Politicians Are Ones Who Oppose Change, Claims Couden. Opposition to city-manager government arista not from the sincere advocates of better municipal government, but from the politically ambitious who foresee an end to all political rings, declared A. It. Couden, city manager of Michigan City, who called on Governor Jackson today at the Statehouse. "The manager statute, as it applies to Indianapolis, is essentially the same in Its application to Michigan City, a. second-class city. Opponents of'the city manager system in Indianapoli3 seem to be encouraging the growing sentiment In favor of better and more systematic government by throwing up a smoke screen about supposed faults of the law. ,j , Are Not Specific "They mention those faults generally, but never specifically. Os course the law does have its weaknesses, but why don't they cite them specifically? "Under the old law Michigan City had seven councilmen. The mayor could get anything he wanted, good or bad. Today we have five commissioners who can fire me any minute my work becomes unsatisfactory. I can't even spend SSOO of the city's money without consent of the commissioners. The commissioners, elected by popular vote, employ a manager, a director of finance, a city judge, a city clerk, and other city officials, any one of whom can be dismissed the Instant his services become unsatisfactory,” Couden said. Billings Praises Plan W. H. Billings, director of the city’s Nuances, who accompanied Couden, praised Jhe system as the one means of ridding a municipality of political chicanery. "Before I assumed directorship of ;the city finances, I was a Democrat. Today I am a hired employed of the city, bound by its by-laws not to engage in politics in any way. Couden was a Republican then. Today we never mention politics,” Billings said. Michigan City was the first city in Indiana to adopt the city-man-ager form of government. Under the system the city has prospered and today is nationally regarded as a model for other cities throughout seeking to become man-ager-controlled cities-
PAVEMENT SEE N BY FAIR TIME State to Receive Bids Soon for Forty-Second St. State highway officials, within the rear future, will receive bids on paving approximately three-quarters of a mile of Forty-Second St., between the Monon Railroad tracks and Fall Creek Blvd., in accordance with a special appropriation made at the 1925 Legislature.

A week ago, Rhoadarmer charged police were delaying the appearance of accused drivers into court, opening thereby the avenue for political and friendly fixing. Chief Rikhoff promised to have the practice stopped. Thursday Rhoadarmer said police after obeying the edict a day or two, were back at the old practice. He cited three speeders, who were not slated until the next day after their arrest. Rikhoff denied a report that all
