A New Form Of City Government.

A new experiment in municipal gov
eminent is now being tried in the city
of Newport. r. l., where new char
ter authorized by the Rhode Island
legislature last winter has just gone
into operation. Although city of
some $4,000 inhabitants, Newport
gives up form of government which
prevails in most cities and adopts one
based upon the New England town
meeting. Hereafter the city council
of Newport will consist of 1875 MEM
bers. 80 from each of the five wards of
the city. 1t will be a bipartisan
body and will meet as citizens COM
mittee to consult and in a broad way
determine the policy of the city. A
board of aldermen is to be retained
for executive work. and the mayor is
given largely increased powers.
There are a great many other fea-
lures of the Newport plan bearing on
the selection of this popular body and
| lie importance to vote. but the essen
| tial feature is the perpetuation of the
town meeting. While the Galveston
plan which has been much discussed
since the city has been rebuilt and re-
organized after the tidal wave. con-
| templates eliminating the great body
of citizens from an active part in
| city administration, the Newport plan
proposes to interest more of them.
| The experiment thus inaugurated will
be watched with interest. 1t is rec
ognized by everybody that some
change will be made in the city govern
ment. If the Newport plan can
he made to produce results
while retaining counselling body
of citizens it may prove more attrac-
1 tive than the Galveston plan. For the
| town meeting idea is a popular one
| with everybody of New England an
| tecedents. and that means a large and
influential part of every western COM
munity as well as of all eastern COM
munities.

Instead of starting at 9 o'clock and
