Altoona Trials City Manager Plan Beginning January
Altoona will start the city manager experiment January 7 with H. G. Hinkle chosen by council to run administration. Four fifths of the councilmen salaries will be earmarked to fund his pay. Hinkle, born 1874 in Germantown Philadelphia, has a long background in railways and streetcar systems and is currently preparing at city hall for duties. The move is the first of its kind in the state and will be watched closely. Harrisburg wishes them well and suggests the mountain city example may be followed. The Chester County liquor license ruling strengthens court power to deny licenses at locations like hotels and sides with anti-saloon efforts. There is no vested right in a liquor license.
