Mayor has no authority. He may have authority, but nobody,
|
|
2
|
I mean my department heads, for example, the department
|
|
3
|
heads wouldn't pay any attention to him. I mean, there
|
|
4
|
wouldn't be anything that they would do until they got in
|
|
5
|
touch with the Mayor, so the man who acts as Mayor very
|
|
6
|
seldom comas into the office, as a matter of fact. If
|
|
7
|
you want him, you call him in his law office, or wherever
|
|
8
|
he is, so he is never there, even in the absence of the
|
|
9
|
Mayor. He may come in sometimes and have his picture
|
|
10
|
taken, and that's all.

MR. BOND: He had a reception.

MAYOR McKELDIN: I beg your pardon?

|
MR. BOND: He had a reception.
|

|
MAYOR McKELDIN: He had a reception, that's
|
|

|
when I was away, he had a reception and they had it in
|
|
16
|
my office.

MR. SAYRE: You don't believe that succession
|
|
18
|
due to death or disability would be more desirable from a
|
|
19
|
Statewide elected official rather than from one like the
|
|
20
|
President of the Senate?
|
|
21
|
MAYOR McKELDIN: It is the sane thing, you see,
