Government of Cities.

Editor of The Nirgiuiap;
Sir---As one who has eagerly looked
forward to the coming OF your paper
in the hope that 1t WILL in any event.

bold to write you a somewhat lengthy
communication on the subject OF Com

TALLY the same as in Richmond ut this
time.
| observed the working of this sys-
tenn Of government first for several
years In Dayton, Ohio. in somewhat
modified form, from about 1880 TO 1893.
This plan provided for three commits
sioners who made up the estimates for
the expenses and personally super
yised all the qualifications of city gov
eminent and the expenditure of the
public money, A single chamber coun-
Gil voted on all the projects of the
commissioners and provided the money
for the public expenses approved by II.
During the year 1892 the city spent
something like $3.000,00o for public
Improvements on its streets. alleys,
public grounds and buildings, MAIN
tanned It's police and fire departments
found in city of $4,000 inhabitants,
and its total expenses for salaries of
every description WAS less than $4,000.
This, Of course. did net include any Of
The aber- nf-the improvements OF
streets, etc, save pay of engineers and
their assistants. Unless ! arm mistaken
the cost OF these items for Richmond
per annnIn runs over 100000, and
much less public work In being done
here each year than was done In Day
ton for the year mentioned.
The%-other city In which | had OPP
