Problems related to the growth of a small city may be created by overnight-actions or considera tions, but a majority of them are developed by the consistency of change in patterns of growth which bring new and bigger demands for municipal services in all categories. That is the view of City Man ager Tom Ragland, for it is through his office that the problems are first noted, reviewed, studied and discussed with department heads, committeemen of the board of com missioners of Oxford and ultimately brought to the mayor and board for policy development. Even as the Oxford administra tion wrestles with a maze of prob lems arising from expansion of water and disposal facilities, with development of new traffic arteries, plans for improved mechanical traffic control devices, parking and the normal flow of work related to maintenance of utlilities, sanitary services and police protection, the rising sun of each day appears to bring new and unheard of prob lems. Diet of Tough Problems But Ragland, a part of the ad ministration of Oxford for 12% years, appears to thrive on the diet of seemingly-indlgestible problems tunneled to his desk by the con tinuing growth of Oxford. He ac knowledged that the diet can be a RAGLAND source of ulcers, but as he worked with the City, Ragland spent much time and given g effort to keeping ahead by ] ticipation in training programs SELECTED BY CIVITAN—City Manager Tom Ragland was named Friday night by Oxford Civitans as winner of the Outstanding Citizen Award for 1969 and Joe White, right, was named Civitan of the Year.
