Manner.

welt today made public, without action, a
report prepared by James B. Reynolds,
together with his recommendations regard
ing the administration OF the affairs Of

fairs of the district made in conformity
with the presidents instructions. who
said:
wish your investigation 10 terminate
In definite, practical recommendations to
me In reference to the city's present needs
and most notable defects measured by the
highest standards OF good government In
this country and elsewhere
Two reports one on public education and
the other on housing conditions, already
have been submitted to the president by
Mr.. REYNOLDS, the main points of the for
mer having been approved by the presi-
dent of the board and the superintendent
OF education.
Mr.. Reynolds summarizes his recommend
ations as follows:
/. The extension of the civil service
70 . cover the minor offices in lhe District OF
at a salary of $4,000 per annum.
3. The creation Of departments of health,
police and fire, buildings and public works,
and housing and labor. These departments
should be conducted by a commissioner
at salary Of perhaps 5000 per annum.
4. A municipal council composed of the
above named commissioners should consti-
tute public assembly for the passage of
ordinances regulating the affairs of the dis
trict.
s. A committee OF 100 to represent all
general civic interests.
The present form of administration by
three commissioners has, Mr. Reynolds
says, the advantage of the intimate asso-
citation and frequent conference OF three
executives Of equal rank. But he adds.
II has the Inevitable defects OF divided re-
sponsibility and confusion OF authority.
