MT.VERNON FIRST CITY TO VOTE ON MANAGER (Continued from Page One) come, "I don't intend to run again." At the itiass meeting, 40 written questioni' were answered by speakers. City Manager Eash said the manager form was no' "magic" formula; that in itself it was not a guarantee of good government but depended upon citizens', cooperation. Some one asked, "Is there more or less opportunity for graft under a city managed?" Eash replied: "If the citizens will tolerate graft under a mayor and aldermen, they probably wbuld under a city manager. In Brookfield I turn over all examples of graft or attempted graft to the newspaper and put it out in my radio talks. That keeps it down effectively," $7,500 Year Salary He said the average salary for a city manager of a city Mt.

Vernon's size (15,000) would be $7,500 Hp noted that, city managers tried to make good records hi i-y i'ihiiiiTi a Saginaw, city manager advanced to a like position at Kansas C5ty with a $25,000 annual income.
