(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.

The commercial world is standing on the

credit and fails to pay hid honest obligations,
he makes it impossible for some one else to
