PROPOSED CLARE
CHARTER TO BE
EXPLAINED WED.
St.   Louis   City'  Attorney   To
Compare Old And New
Charters Here
Modern Finance System Underlies
City Government Under New Charter
(This is the eighth in a Series of Centralized Purchasing
articles outlining^ and describing the^   Centralized   purchasing   gives   the
m
more important features of the proposed new city charter for Clare. Citizens will vote on its adoption on
April 5.)
A sound and up-to-date financial
structure will underlie the city gov-
f eminent of Clare Under the proposed
*3i6W home rule charter. The charter's sections on finance have been
written by your charter commissioners to insure the most economical
operation of the city, and yet to permit more freedom in financial activities than "has ever been possible in
Clare under the city's present forni of
government.
New fax Date
One outstanding advantage of the
iiew   charter,   from   the   taxpayer's
point5 of view  is> a   change  in  tax
p schedule which divides the total tax
*   payment into two installments.    Tinder the new form of government, city
taxes will ,fall due on July 1, instead
of in December as now.   This change
helps to spread the tax burden over
, the  year,  sines  school  and   county
taxes are already due in December
aa required by law.
city the advantage of low-cost buying
by pooling the needs of all of the
various city departments and purchasing them in lots. For example,
a city with a system of central purchasing buys paper supplies for all
departments at one time, thus securing lower unit prices and having the
opportunity to select the "best buy"
from one of several bidders. If a
city does not enforce centralized purchasing, each department may order
and purchase its individual paper
supply, thus duplicating time and effort and paying higher prices for
smaller quantity lots. E'urthermbfe,
fewer paper suppliers are likely to
he interested in these small purchases and the number of bidders on
the order may therefore be materially reduced.
The procedures for handling centralized purchasing can probably best

city the size of Clare. The savings
to the taxpayers in large- quantity
buying amounts to a considerable
sum over a period of a year, There-

Alfred Fortino, City Attorney of St.
Louis, Michigan, has* been engaged
to speak at a meeting in the Clare
City hall auditorium Wednesday evening, March 24, at 8:00 o'clock, and
Will very definitely explain the present council type of city government
here and the new home-rule typ.e of
government proposed for Clare.
Atty. fortino is the attorney who
supervised the drafting of the revised
Charte,r for council-city manager form
of government which has. been in operation in St. Louis the past several,
years.
He is a capable and interesting
speaker and will give his talk from
practical knowledge gained by exper-,|
ience in a small Central Michigan
city whose population compares favorably with that of Clare.
The new Charter will be completely
explained and Atty. Fortino will answer questions which citizens desire
to ask concerning city government.
It should be clearly understood that
the voters of Clare will not be voting
for- or against this type of city
government, as this "was decided favorably at a special election November 10, 1947, but for the approval or
disapproval of the Charter offered for
consideration by the Charter Commission.
It is the duty of every voter of the,]
City of Clare to become familiar
with the terms of the Charter before
voting upon it and this meeting offers
him an opportunity of obtaining this
knowledge from a person who is experienced in this line. All voters are
urged to go to the polis Monday,
April 5, and vote ^according to the
dictates of their conscience and better judgment.
