CITIES
REPORT PROGRESS
Optimism Is Keynote of Con-
vention of League of
municipalities
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

lSpecEdi Dispatch 10 ne Gail
SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 21.-President
A. X. Orr of the League of California
Municipalities called the convention to
order this afternoon and Mayor T. W.
Druflard extended the freedom of the
city to delegates from all over the
state. ]. J. Hanford, mayor of San
Bernardino responded.
The address of President Orr teemed
with optimistic views. He said that
all the cities of California had gained
new life and that commerce had Won
derfully increased.
The report of Secretary H A. Mason
of San Francisco was interesting to
the delegates. The league has In
creased in membership during the last
year by the addition of Burlingame,
CoIusa, Covina, Hermosa Beach, Her
cules, Piedmont, South City and Sisson.
There were no Withdrawals. Il have
to report continued progress on the
part of the municipalities of the state,
said Mason More and more cities are
securing permanent improvements
The old policy of just trying to keep
things passably decent no longer OBJ
tains in most municipalities. Some
thing distinctively better is the ruling
dictum of our cities and towns.
A Z. Dodson, councilman OF San
Diego, addressed the convention on
Government by the Commission Plan
taking occasion to bring out some I'M
portant points and concluding with the
statement that San Diego has proved
the plan q great success in the admin
istration of its affairs. He said; l
must concede that the advantages for
good government are in favor of Texas.
The general laws of that state allow
municipal governments more independ-
ence in the details of their affairs than
does California CALIFORNIA; consti-
tuition and general laws in the attempt
TO protect the cities from graft and
corruption place so many restrictions
around the governing bodies that best
authorities are frequently in doubt as
TO inst what is the law. Every new
question, and they are legion. must be
taken TO the supreme court for inter-
pretation This uncertainty causes
discontent among tax payers and
numerous complaints are made against
officials when. as matter OF fact, the
system is TO blame. The strongest 1ea-
ture of the new form of government is
that of responsibility. which makes IL
a success

to keep secret their marriage, performed
in Mill Valley last Sunday by Rev. III.

cured a license and walked afmlessly
up the street toward the office of the
justice of the peace. But when quite
near they lost courage and fed back to
San Francisco.
The next day. Sunday, armed with
the precious license, they went to Mill
Valley and were married by Rev. II. III.

IF 1 had known they were clipping

not have married them. The news is
quite a surprise TO me-"
From Mill Valley they travelled to
San Francisco and stopped at the ST

When the excitement has subsidized
