Cullimore Answers Voter League Queries The eight candidates for city council of San Mateo who go before the voters here at an electron April 7 have each been given the same set of eight questions to answer. Below are the answers of Clarence Cullimore. There are three places on the council to be filled. Question 1: (a) What do you consider the salient features of council-manager government? (fa) Do you think its operation in San Mateo could be strengthened? Answer 1: (a) A council that has a minimum to do with actual administration, a government that is usually more efficient and more representative. (b) Operation be strengthened by giving city departments efficient organization and authority, establishing a chain of command, supplying government with business principles and by proper delegation of power.

Modernization of codes, ordinances, would help. Question 2: Is it necessary that a member of the council be in business in San Mateo in order to best serve the citizens? Answer 2: It would help if the members of the council were on the scene more than 5 hours in in the evening. Question 3: (a) Do you believe that all communities within the county should have the same building code? (b) Do you favor relaxing or tightening the building code? (c) Do you believe that the San Mateo code provides stiff enough penalties to deter violations, and are enough inspectors employed in the engineering department to safeguard enforcement of the code? Answer 3: (a) Codes should be as uniform as possible. (b) To accomplish this and to make codes comprehensive certain restrictions should be modified, thus both relaxing and tightening the code.

Answer 4: (a) Mure commissions and boards should be appointed to make recommendations concerning tough problems, (b) Such commissions should be chosen on the basis of competence, not patronage.

Question 5: (a) Do you support development of a master plan for San Mateo by a i i planning engineers?

PLANNING HEAD REBUFFS Maid, so, Wins COLLEAGUE ON PROJECT Planning Commission Chairman E. J. Burley, in a letter to the press and the city council today, set forth a proposal for commission procedure and gently rebuffed fellow Commissioner Thomas Casey for bringing forth his athletic and sport center plan at a study meeting Monday night.
