MUNICIPAL RESEARCH.
Secretary OF New York Bureau Re"
cites Some Results Accomplished
There,

Accomplishments by the New YORK
Bureau OF Research, which Is CON
Quoted along lines advocated by the
National Municipal League, have CIV
en- a remarkable example Of effective
methods as applied TO the manage
ment Of municipal finances. For thaf
reason, the address OF Dr.. William
Fl. Allen, secretary Of the New York
Bureau, was Of particular interest to
those who attended the Piltsourg
meeting
Or Allen said in part;
Municipal research is a method,
not an Idea 1t proposes fact tests
Tor officials and result tests or RENE
dies. 1t will be needed by municipality
and state, county and city, until men
can see without light aud work to-
gether without creating inequality
sickness, incapacity and injustice.
The greatest menace to American
institutions is not immigration, lack
Of education private monopoly OF
public utilities, nor the difference OF
best citizens, but manner OF con-
Quoting public business which fails to
keep citizens currently informed As
to official acts.
Municipal research says that so
ciety should equip itself to know as 1t
goes along what its needs are and
where ii fails to meet them, A pastor

official acts can do more harm than
a bartender a confirming ray Of light

plosion When facts can not be dis
puted. issues can not be confused.
Money enough is being spent by
American cities to obtain efficient
government Inefficient government
causes more corruption. sickness, de-
tendency and delinquency than any
other anti-social factor lneificieney
of government is primarily due to
badness OF methods rather than to

changed or attacked
Continuing knowledge OF acts Is
Infinitely more effective than election
excitement. Public interest in so-called
good government must be sustained.
not by scandal regarding PERSONAL
ties, but by reiteration OF facts as TO

that they will themselves reiterate
the truth regarding work done and
