FOR SINGLE HEADED DEPARTMENTS.
R. FULTON CUTTING SUBMITS SUGGESTIONS ON
CHARTER REVISION.

R Fulton Cutting, president of the Citizens
Union. has sent TO the Charter Revision Commits
sion some suggestions as TO changes in The city
charter. urging amendments with reference to the
MANAGEMENT of several departments OF the city
government. He recommends single heads Of de-
partments but favors extension of the system
of governing departments by boards composed of
commissioners who give their services without pay,
as in the Board of Education. In support of such
an extension Mr.. Cutting says in part:
The greatest merit of this system is that 1t
ablcs cities to take advantage of the voluntary
bility practically prohibited by the NewYork char
ter Yet we have in this city vast number
OF citizens ready and willing to give large part
of their time and energies TO the conduct of the
cfty's many sided functions of benehCent activity,
men whose services cannot he bought with money,
nor their civic spirit measured by commercial
standards. Colonel Warning was unique,
and. moreover, notable example of the virtues
of voluntary service, for l am satisfied that the
salary of the Commissioner of Street Cleaning
could never have purchased for the city Of New
York his Invaluable services 1t was his intense
and devoted public spirit that for the city
his phenomenal administration of that Depart
nent a public spirit that would have always Sc
cured him on a voluntary board The ex-
ample prominent citizens In various callings
rendering voluntary service to the municipality
would act powerfully upon the better instincts of
the people and awaken the sense of the dignity
and beneficence of public service. 1t would stimu-
late the readiness Of of character to enter
into public life and its influence would radiate
the light Of a clearer and better apprehension of
the relation of the citizen to the State.
