"The third motion empowered a committee, the academic divi- Isional chairmen, to study the circumstances of the Quail dismissal and report to the faculty at a September meeting.

The motion was worded so as to avoid faculty involvement in straight administrative matters. The' faculty thus viewed the matter of the office of dean as beyond its prerogative.

High lights of changes in the three years mentioned by Nabersil included the establishment of a motor pool that cut down on private use of public vehicles; combining street improvement, repairs and engineering into one department; putting all equipment in general government under direct supervision of the garage with ownership in the garage fund: changes in record' keeping systems; more cooperative effort among various departments: increasing the salaries of city employes with emphasis on substantial raises for those in the lower pay brackets, and the new program for investing funds. Nabers said he expects to see the proposed change in the form of city government 1 to the strong-mayor-council form go to a vote of the people.

"In making improvements I there is no way it can come about without stepping on some toes," he said, "and many NVill vote for the change. I feel the thinking people of Spokane will weigh the effects and maintain the mayor-council-manager form. 'Abandonment of the council-manager plan rarely involves serious attacks on the principles of the system, but on incidents ex1 perienced under the plan. It is not to be expected that the plan will be free from legitimate com1 plaints, but it would be wrong to change the system because of them." Overmne. W19 Central; Samuel H.

"I have plans for the hi-lure," Nabers said. "but they are not completely formulated. When they are. I will reveal them." In his prepared talk, in which he reviewed three years in Spokane under the mayor-councilmanager form of government. Nabers said the greatest thing that has happened in city ment here is the fact that the government now is operated on a nonpolitical basis.

"The administration is not in any way adhering to or listening to politics on the side," he said. "and the departments are working one with the other for the benefit of the citizens. Many people in the community are not pleased with this. Those who were receiving political favors are not receiving them now. "We are trying to run this government for the benefit of all the citizens of Spokanefor the people as a whole.

The sharp edges of patronage and pressure group influence are blunted by consideration for the wider needs of all the people.
