"I don't view him as power-
hungry," Bertoia continued,
"but he's wielding a lot of pow-
er for one man in this town."
"Up to this point, I don't
think Wheeler has been an ef-
fective mayor," said Council-
man Robert Henry (R-Third
Ward). "He's tried to bulldoze
things through, tried to ap-
proach the administration
more antagonistically. I think
it's a result of inexperience."
ACCORDING to City Admin-
istrator Sylvester Murray, Hen-
Iry' s appraisal of Wheeler's at-
titude towards his office is
painfully accurate. Murray
feels that Wheeler has come
close to usurping the powers of
his administrative position.
''There's been a redefinition
of my role as city administra-
tor," said Murray. "I've felt all
along that Wheeler had a gen-
eral distrust of administrative
people - from day one. There's
been an abbreviation of my
power, a boxing-in of power."
Murray added that he felt
his input into the Wheeler ad-
ministration has been less than
it could be.. He feels his ad-
ministrative capabilities have
not been completely utilized.
"THERE'S A general feeling
that the bureaucracy does not
want to do their job even if
they're capable of doing it.
Fewer of my recommendations
are sought by council,.and few-
er of my resolutions are ac-
cepted by council," said Mur-
ray. "Am I an obstruction, or
am I just paranoid on my
own?"
Wheeler simply says that
Murray's complaints stem
from a philosophical difference
the two have on how a city
should be run. According to
Wheeler, however, Murray has
won out.
"I'm a very pro-strong may-
' or, strong council type of guy, work together and then said, 'I gime and says, "I'm willing to While Wheeler's insistence on
