Baker Making- Experiment.
Wier Is th only city In the stat
operating under a commission form of
government. Prior to December 1 last,
th business of that thriving Eastern
Oregon city waa transacted by a Mayor
and eight Councllmen. Aa la other
cltlea, thla plan of operation did not
produc desired results, and tt waa due
largely to the recommendation of Wil
liam PoUman. ex-Mayor, that tha old
system was supplanted by th. commis
sion plan.
Th. municipal affairs of Baker are
now conducted by three commissioners
a Mayor and two other commissioners,"
explained Mayor Palmer. "Tha Mayor
has general oversight of tha dtye af
faire. By virtu of his offlo he haa
charge of tha finance of the city aa
well as the polio, department. He ap
points all municipal officers and em
ploye, subject to th. approval of th
other cora miss! oners, and la held per
sonally responsible for their conduct.
"One of th. two commissioners haa
charg. of th etreets and th lighting
of tha city. Ail contracts for either
street improvements or tha lighting of
th city must first meet with th ap
proval of a majority of th thro, com
mlsnlonere. "The third commissioner Is known as
the Water Commissioner. Be haa charge
of the water and fir departments, and
I also charged with attending to th
asxiitary condition of th city.
Keal BeneriU of Plan.
'The real benefits resulting from tha
commission plan in our city consist of
placing In th hands of a few men th.
transaction of tha clty'a buslnesa and at
tha aama time affording a direct oppor
tunity for fixing th responsibility for
service. The Mayor receives aa annual
salary of (40. while the two commis
sioners are paid tloOO annually.
"Aside from being required to give all
of their tlma to th city's business, th
commissioner are also under heavy
bond. Th Mayor la required to furnish
a bond for tdu, 000. while th. two com
missioners are bonded In th. euro, of
UsO each.
'Tha Mayor and tna two commission
era maintain offices in th. City Hall
and hav. recular office houxa Thay are
available at all times during those hours
to Interested cltlaens and taxpayers who
may hav Dullness to transact In con
nection with th. city and Its affairs.
"While th. commission plan, as I have
said, has been in operation only alx
months, ther. Is no general demand on
tha part of th. citizens of my city to
return to th old order of thlnga. Wa
feel that further experience will produce
even mot aatisfaotory results than hav
attended th Introduction of th new
plan of municipal government."
Mayor Palmer la accompanied by hla
wife. Together they will attend th. aes
slons of the Independent Order of Odd
fellows' grand lodge, which opens Its
sessions tomorrow, as delegates from tha
Baker lodge
