TWO YEARS LONG ENOUC- '
The proposal advanced by a City
Council member that the terms nf
members of the Raleigh City
Council be extended from the
present two years to a, terra of
tour years does not appear to
i have much merit. Raleigh's coun
cil members ere not. elected be
cause of their experience m city
government or anv other type of '
government.
They aie elected because the
i electorate, thinks they arc wonder
1 workers who know ail nf the an
j swers. Tlie fact that the pnv of
j these councilmen is a mere pit
| lance, a token salary so to speak,
! should be sufficient proof that
! the voters realize they are not
. getting a group of experts to sit
; around the council table. A well
! paid and capably-trained city
' manager is hired here to run the j
| government of this city,
The council members are sup- ;
! posed to be policy makers. Any j
j group of citizens composed of j
I stable and intelligent persons,, suf- j |
, I ficientlv mature and experienced ;
| in the bu mess of making a. living, j 1
i ! consecrated to the ideals of Chri- !
| tianity and dedicated to the bet-,
• torment of mankind, is cape ole ,
' j of doing & good job as the policy - I -
j making group for this city Serv- !
ing on the Raleigh City Council
! is mofp a. civic duty than a re
-1 sporuubility. Been use it in a duty.
| elections should be held often Oy
i ery two years' in order that move ;
citizens ran make their eontribu-:
tion to the city.
If two years are long enough ,
for a member of the IT. S. Hon **;
of Representatives to serve, with
out having to offer for reflection,
there cannot be any reason why
members of the Raleigh City
Council should be elected for terms
longer than two years.
