term of office for the city-manager.
This comparative permanence in the
office of the chief executive tends to
rid us of amateur and transient ex
ecutives ami . to replace them with
trained men. This permanence also
makes more possible the planning and
carrying out of far-sighted projects
which cannot be accomplished In ,a

call it Plan C in order to distinguish
It from other forms of government. ,
Following Is the manuscript repro
duction: . '
My colleague proved to you a few
moments ago, that Plan C remedies
the defects of the present . form of
government It does much more than
that. It remedies the defects of the
old commission plan as well.
Iii the first place, Plan C, by pro
viding for a city-manager appointed
by the 'council, does away with all at-

Is this to be wondered at? Look
at the results of the plan in the
cities which have already-adopted it.
(Here she reads extracts irom . i.a

Mr. Monroe, of Montrose, Colorado,
to show how the manager plan has
benefitted those cities.)

fects of the present plan, first, by
doincr away with extravagance, sec

third, by providing for home rule;
finally, since Plan C remedies the de
fetcs of other commission plans,- first,
because it provided for expert ad
ministration of city affairs, second,
because it allows permanence in the
office of chief executive, and third,
because it means harmony, between
the municipal departments,, it would

Good nroirress is beine made at Ta-
ccma toward solving the fruit market
ing question, it appears from news
dispatches from there. A lacoma ais
retch dated Wednesday says:
After differences between the var
ious factions of the fruit growing dis
tricts represented in the convention
in session - here seemed . to have
brought the meeting to a deadlock be
yond breaking, W. H. Paulhamus last
night brought forth the dove of peace
and within IS minutes had things go
ing smoothly. It was evident that the
fruitgrowers will be able to effect a
definite organization at the session to
be held tomorrow morning.
In tonight's session, lasting until
mulnipht. the erowers - cot a few
j steps in advance. Thev tentatively
J I decided that there should be a board
I 'of control of ten members, to be ap
pointed, one from each of the ten
fruit districts. This board is to
hiive general supervision over the ex
ecutive committee, with power to dis
charge nnv or all the committee. A

though not a bitter one, but the long
afternoon and night meetings result

threshing out their differences and
arriving upon a ground ol mutual un

The recommendations are that the

the convention elect a irrowers coun

each of the 10 districts and that this
council shall choose from its number
an executive committee of there mem
