The next will be in April, 1963. Sloan explained that would be the most logical time to make the transition, if voters approve it.

The recommenda tion to adopt a city manager system came from the Overland Park Republican Central committee of which Sloan is chairman. Sloan emphasized that the administrative committee, which is gathering information about various types of city manager government, has not yet discussed a date for an election. TOLL BAN COSTS JOB.
