Herriman Saturday: March 25 1910
March 25 1910 -- Mayor George Alexander of Los Angeles complains that he is bothered all day long with phone calls from his constituents, asking questions as if he were some sort of, oh, I dunno, a public servant. Herriman has fun with it, but most of the actual questions cited in the accompanying article are not terribly unreasonabe. Examples offered include: Who are the lowest and highest paid city workers? Is there something the caller can legally do about someone who mistreats their dog? What is the current year's city budget?
Seems to me Mayor Alexander has no phone problem. What he has is a secretary problem. Aren't secretaries capable of handling, or at least rerouting, some of these mundane everyday questions?
