(This ik tho seventh of 14 ar ticles on the city manager plan, by H. S. Ciilhcrtsou of the Na tlouul Municipal league.) The remai progress if Iuy- ton under the cily manager plans of municipal gmern ricut has bceti told in fuller detail than space will al low for the rest of the 150 city man atee towns. hut nearly all of them have similar sto les to tell. Nearly all. but there are a few where the change has not brought progress or effi- M. S. GilbnrtMoa ciency Immediate ly, cities that have elected unpro gressive councils which put In local politicians as managers and have sat down and stagnated. Yet even there issues have cleared; obstructive Influence have been Iden tified, and successive elections brought relief. One such council In Ohio played politics two terms, but the town saw exactly what was going on, and at the third election a discriminating land slide put three of the councilman out of politics and installed a harmon ious, live council and a new, high grade manager. There is no magic in this plan of government that will prevent the people from electing the wrong men. The plan compels them to make their mistakes in broad daylight, and the chance to go astray under those con ditions is the irreducible hazard of democracy. Almost always they have chosen better men than have hitherto been successful in local politics. Of coarse what one town is proud of. another may consider old-fashioned, but every town reports improvement. Here are some typical reports of financial progress: San Jose. Cal. (populatibn 40.000) ran in IS 19 with less expenditure than the old government in 1916, de spite advanced costs. Manistee, Mich, (population 10. 000). had. under the old government, voted a bond issue of S 80.000 for a new trunk sewer. The new govern ment spent $1200 cleaning tons of debris from the old sewer, which was then found adequate. Sandusky, Ohio (population 13. 000). reduced its debt $230,000, and in 1919, under the new plan, its op erating expenses, deepite ascending wages and costs, were less than un der the old plan in 1914. Ashtabula. Ohio, is still living within Its pre-war tax rate. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, (popula tion 12.000). caved $07,000 in two year?,. ' ' Alhambra, Cal. (population 10, 000), bought the water system and ran it for $14,000 a year less than the private corporation did. In Walthatn, Mass., the new gov ernment Increased the city tax rate only eight per cent, while labor In creased 54 per cent; the water and engineering departments were com bined, thus saving salaries and in creasing eficlency; by stopping leak age and waste, an expenditure of $300,000 for a new water Mipply was avoided. Griffin. G:i. (population 8240), saved $13,000 the first your by im proving every department, and did more street work in one year ilian In any previous five years. Wichita. Kan. (population '72, 000). built a sower by direct labor at a cost of $21 4,000. Tho lowest contractor's hid was $310,000. Webster City. Iowa (population ttOiiO), has saved $3S,000 a year since the adoption of the plan. Among the most significant fea tures of business administration In most of these cities Is the adoption of a modern budget. The needs of the city are carefully planned a year ahead In great detail and there is a powerful incentive to live v.ithin the income. Kconomy is made possible, too. for the reason that a lot of political creditors are eliminated and political "fences" do not have to be built out of the city treasury.
