County Manager Proposal Reshapes Local Government
A proposed measure would create a county manager who, with direction from the county commission, would hold broad administrative powers and set compensation. It would abolish numerous elected and appointed offices including clerk, sheriff, treasurer, and others, consolidating authority under department heads and the county manager. The plan also proposes abolishing county excise boards and transferring powers to the manager and remaining officials. A separate notice warns of a sheriff sale of land in Ada under foreclosure involving Local Building and Loan Association with sale set for February 25, 1929 at 2 p.m.
